Happening right now?
Fridge stopped cooling? Do this first
Four things that protect your food and your floor while you wait. For leaks, outages and medicine, see emergency refrigerator repair.
Keep the doors shut
A closed fridge keeps food safe for up to about 4 hours. A full freezer holds about 48.
Check the basics
Breaker, outlet (garage outlets trip), temperature setting. On a Samsung, OF OF means Cooling Off mode, not a fault.
Leaking? Water off
Towels down, unplug it if water is near the outlet, and turn off the water valve behind the fridge.
Call with the brand
Tell us the brand, any code on the display, and whether the freezer is still cold.
What we fix
Refrigerator problems we fix, in the words people use
French door, side-by-side, top or bottom freezer. Ordered by how often Lufkin callers describe them.
Not cooling at all
Both sides warm, or it "just stopped cooling yesterday". Could be a fan, a relay, a control or the compressor.
Clicking, running nonstop or not startingLeaking water
Puddles under the front, water in the crisper drawers, or a drip from the back or the filter.
Where a fridge leak comes fromFrost and ice build-up
Ice on the back of the freezer, frosted vents, drawers that freeze shut.
Signs the defrost has failedDead or won't power up
No lights, no sound, often after a storm outage or coming back from a trip.
Fridge dead after a power outageBeeping, flashing, codes
Alarms that won't stop, LG FF, Samsung 22E, Frigidaire SY EF and other codes.
What the alarm meansNoisy fans and motors
Chirping, squealing, buzzing, ticking, or a "huge noise" that wasn't there before.
Which noises mean call nowIce maker and water
No ice, ice that won't dispense, no water from the door, an iced-up ice maker.
Freezer cold, fridge creeping up to 50?
That one is rarely a "wait and see". Call now and tell us the brand.
The process
How a repair visit works
Four steps. You hear the price before any work starts, and nothing is done until you say yes.
01
You call
Tell us the brand, what it's doing and when it started. The model number is on a label inside the fridge.
02
A tech comes out
We answer 24/7, day or night, and agree a time with you.
03
Diagnosis and price
The technician finds the fault and tells you the price before any work starts. You decide.
04
Repair and test
If you go ahead, the part is fixed or replaced and the fridge is checked for cold air before the tech leaves.

What's different about fridge repair in Lufkin
Lufkin summers
Average highs here are about 93°F in July and August. Fridges in garages, carports and hot kitchens work hardest then, and condenser coils and fans take the strain.
Storm outages
From the ERCOT ice storm to Tropical Storm Beryl, Angelina County has seen thousands of homes lose power at once. Fridges that don't restart properly afterwards are a common call.
Renters and landlords
About a third of occupied homes in Angelina County are rented. If you rent, tell your landlord first. If you're the landlord, call and we'll work out access with your tenant.

FAQ
Questions we get asked
The questions Lufkin callers ask most, answered straight.
Can someone come out today?
Call any time, day or night. A real person answers, not an answering service. If it's an emergency (food warming, water on the floor), say so and see our emergency repair page.
How much does it cost to come look at it?
There is a charge for the visit and diagnosis. Ask when you call and we'll tell you the amount and whether it goes toward the repair. You hear the repair price before any work starts, and you decide.
Do you need my card before someone comes?
Ask when you call and we'll tell you exactly when and how you pay.
Is it worth fixing, or should I buy a new one?
Most fridge faults (fans, defrost parts, thermostats, valves, door seals) are repairs, not reasons to replace the fridge. The big job is the sealed refrigerant system. The technician tells you which it is, and the price, so you can decide with real numbers.
I'm a landlord. Can you go to my tenant's house?
Yes. Call with the address and your tenant's contact details and we'll arrange access with them.
Do you take home warranty jobs?
It depends on the warranty company. Ask before booking so you know where you stand.
Which brands do you repair?
All major brands: Whirlpool, Samsung, LG, GE and GE Monogram, Frigidaire, Kenmore, Bosch, Sub-Zero, plus Maytag, KitchenAid and Amana, which are Whirlpool brands. If yours isn't listed, call and ask.
Do you fix mini fridges, chest freezers or commercial units?
This site is about home refrigerators. Call and ask if yours is something else.
Fridge giving you trouble?
Call and tell us the brand and what it's doing. If you want to read first, start with why the fridge side stops cooling or how a repair visit works.
