Refrigerator FAQs

We hope this troubleshooting guide below will help answer the most common problems regarding your refrigerator. If the problem persists, please do not hesitate to call us at (281) 758-9978 to further troubleshoot or to arrange for one of our specialized technicians to resolve any problems.

My refrigerator is not keeping temperature and makes a ‘beeping’ alarm sound. What could cause this issue?

Unfortunately, the main reason for a beeping alarm is a failing main control board assembly. For a control board replacement and assembly by a qualiﬁed technician, please call us at (281) 758-9978 to schedule an appointment.

My refrigerator has stopped cooling completely. What could be causing this issue?

The first thing we recommend is to check the breaker for power. If the power is on, please turn off your refrigerator for 15 minutes and power it back on. A simple reset may help the unit cool again.

We recommend vacuuming your condenser unit every 6 months. A dirty condenser may cause serious cooling issues. This is a simple task that can be done with a home vacuum.

The condenser has a cooling fan motor that can fail, causing the compressor to overheat. When this happens, the refrigerator may go into safe mode and stop the cooling process.

The evaporator cooling fan motor fails when the motor stops the entire cooling process. You may notice temperatures in the refrigerator ranging from 40-60 degrees Fahrenheit.

My refrigerator has stopped dispensing water, what could cause the water dispenser to stop working?

I would first make sure that the water filter is not restricted. A restricted water filter will cause the dispenser to stop working.

Please make sure that the water line is not frozen over.

Refrigerators are equipped with an electronic water valve that feeds the refrigerator with water. This electronic water valve fails with time and use. Please call us at 281-758-9978 If you would like to schedule an appointment for service.

The ice dispenser is not dispensing ice. What could cause the ice dispenser to stop working?

The ice dispenser may be blocked by excessive ice.

The ice dispenser is powered by an electric motor. This motor can fail overtime time due to corrosion build-up.

The electronic control panel can have a shortage. If the control panel is shorted, the dispenser will not dispense ice anymore.

My fridge ice maker has stopped ice production. What could cause it to stop ice production?

The majority of refrigerators are equipped with an internal water filter system. If the filter is clogged or restricted, it may stop ice production.

The ice maker module has an internal timer that may stay on the harvest mode. When this happens, ice production stops.

The electronic water valve that supplies the ice maker with water may stop working, if this happens no more ice will be produced.

Please check the temperature in the freezer side, ice production will diminish if the freezer temperature is above 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
