Troubleshooting Guide
These are the refrigerator issues our Tampa technicians see most. If you're handy, some have simple DIY checks — and when it's beyond that, we're a phone call away.

Tech Tip: Before calling for repair, clean the condenser coils — dirty coils cause temperature swings.
Off-tasting ice usually means the water filter is overdue. Changing it is a quick job:
Tech Tip: Replace your refrigerator water filter every 6 months to keep ice fresh and the ice maker healthy.
A loud refrigerator has several possible causes. Our technicians most often replace:
Tech Tip: Check the condenser fan blades for obstructions — debris in the blades makes a fridge surprisingly loud.

A fridge that never stops running works too hard and shortens its own life:
Tech Tip: Constant running drives up your electric bill — catching it early usually means a cheaper repair.
Refrigerator error codes are model- and platform-specific, so there is no safe universal code chart for every appliance. Record the complete display code and model number from the rating label; our technician matches it to the correct manufacturer tech sheet before ordering a part.
