From our records
Refrigerator repair in Lafayette: what we actually see.

Why this happens
What we look for first.
- Linear compressor failure (2014 to 2019 models). LG LFXS, LRMVS, LSXS, and several ThinQ-era French-doors used a linear compressor that had a well-documented failure pattern. There was a class action settlement on the issue. If the unit is in that window and the compressor is dead, this is what we usually find. We confirm with electrical and pressure tests before quoting.
- Evaporator fan motor stalled. The fan inside the freeezer that pulls cold air over the evaporator coil and pushes it into both compartments. Compressor still runs, freezer stays cold-ish, fresh food slowly drifts to room temperature. Pull the back panel of the freezer, look at the fan.

Before you call
Is your fridge worth repairing?
Repair price depends on what failed and how the unit is built. If your refrigerator cost under $1,000 new, the repair math may not work. We diagnose the unit on site and provide the written repair estimate before any work starts.
Premium built-ins in the Sub-Zero, Monogram, and Thermador class are designed to be serviced. We diagnose the fault and help you compare the written repair estimate with replacement.
Two free checks before you call: vacuum the condenser coils, and run the dollar-bill test on the door seal by closing the fridge on a bill and seeing how easily it slides out. If the power blinked recently, give the compressor a full day before deciding it is dead. If the fridge really is done, put that money toward the next one instead. Our other trade is heating and cooling, and a replacement assessment visit for an A/C, furnace, or heat pump is free.
