When the refrigerator in a Duluth kitchen goes warm, the whole week's groceries are suddenly in trouble. Hank here. My crew repairs refrigerators all over Duluth: homes near the Town Green and downtown, neighborhoods off Pleasant Hill Road and Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, townhomes near Satellite Boulevard and the Gas South District, and the subdivisions out toward Sugarloaf Parkway and the river. French-door, side-by-side, top-freezer, bottom-freezer, counter-depth and built-in models are all on the list, and we come out same- or next-day.
Dial (470) 516-8711 and a real person answers 24/7, or send the form on this page and we'll phone you back.
Tell Hank's crew what's acting up and the best number to reach you. We'll call you right back to lock in a Same- or Next-Day slot — no obligation, no upsell circus.
Refrigerators, freezers, ice makers, ovens and ranges. Choose yours to see how we fix it.
Warm, leaking, noisy or not cooling: French-door, side-by-side, built-in.
Frost buildup, soft food and freezers that run nonstop.
No ice, slow ice or a leak from the dispenser.
Gas and electric ovens that will not heat or bake evenly.
Burners, cooktops and ranges: gas, electric and induction.
Busy family kitchens. Many Duluth households cook a lot at home, and the main refrigerator works hard. Doors open constantly, the fridge stays full, and fans, gaskets and the defrost system get a real workout. Plenty of homes also run a second fridge or a dedicated food refrigerator in the garage or utility room.
Townhomes and condos near Satellite Boulevard and Gwinnett Place. Counter-depth and bottom-freezer refrigerators in compact kitchens. Tight cabinets leave little room for air around the cabinet, which can make a fridge run warm in summer.
Established neighborhoods off Pleasant Hill and Buford Highway. Homes on their second or third refrigerator, often side-by-sides and top-freezer models, along with older garage units.
Newer builds near Sugarloaf Parkway. Larger French-door and four-door refrigerators with door ice makers, flex drawers, touch controls and inverter compressors. More features mean more to test.
Get on the schedule. Tell the person who answers the brand, the style of refrigerator and what's happening. We'll set a same- or next-day window in Duluth.
Find the real fault. The tech measures the temperature in both sections, looks behind the freezer panel for frost, tests the evaporator and condenser fans, the defrost system, the damper, the sensors, the start relay and the control board. If refrigerant work is needed, an EPA 608 certified technician handles it. You get a plain explanation of what failed and what the repair includes before any part goes in, and you decide whether to proceed.
Fix it and prove it. Genuine or OEM-approved parts are installed, and the tech watches the refrigerator start pulling its temperature down before leaving. Duluth refrigerator repairs carry a warranty of up to 6 months on parts and labor.
Counter-depth refrigerators look great flush with the cabinets, but they leave little room for heat to escape. If a counter-depth fridge is boxed in tightly on the sides and top, or the kick plate grille is blocked, the condenser runs hot and the fridge struggles on warm days. During the repair, we check the spacing and the airflow along with the parts, so the fix lasts.
Lots of Duluth homes keep a second refrigerator in the garage for drinks, bulk groceries or overflow from big family meals. Garage fridges live a harder life than kitchen ones. In summer, the heat makes the compressor run for hours. In a cold snap, some models stop cooling the freezer because the fridge thermostat thinks the job is done. When we repair a garage refrigerator, we check the condenser, the fans and the start parts, and we'll tell you if a model built for garage temperatures would serve you better.
Most refrigerator problems are worth fixing: fans, defrost parts, sensors, dampers, relays, boards and gaskets are standard parts. A sealed-system failure on an older, basic refrigerator is the main case where a new one may make more sense. We'll give you an honest comparison before you spend anything.

Frost blocking the evaporator, a failed evaporator fan or a stuck air damper.
A dirty condenser, a dead condenser fan, a start relay or a compressor or control problem.
A clogged or frozen defrost drain.
A leaking water line, inlet valve or filter housing, or a defrost drain that overflows.
A defrost heater, defrost thermostat or defrost control that failed.
The compressor trying to start without success, often the start relay.
A fan blade hitting ice or a worn fan motor.
A damper stuck open, a bad sensor or a control set too cold.
A sensor, fan or control circuit has reported a fault.
In most refrigerators, the freezer is where the cold is made. An evaporator coil behind the freezer panel gets cold, a fan blows air across it, and a damper lets some of that air into the fresh-food side. When the defrost system fails, frost slowly coats the coil until air can barely pass. The fridge side warms first, because it's at the end of the line, and the freezer follows a day or two later. That's why our tech checks behind the freezer panel even when the complaint is a warm fridge.
Often the defrost system or the evaporator fan. Frost on the coil or a dead fan stops cold air from reaching the fresh-food side. A stuck damper can do the same.
The defrost drain is likely clogged or frozen, so melt water collects inside instead of draining to the pan.
Yes, including counter-depth, built-in and panel-ready models.
Not always. A failed start relay or overload causes the same clicking, and those are much simpler repairs.
Yes. We repair garage refrigerators and check whether heat in the garage is part of the problem.
