Refrigerator Issue Specialists
Solving Common Refrigerator Mechanical Failures
Most fridge issues are caused by specific, high-failure components. Our technicians arrive equipped to diagnose and fix these common problems on our first visit:
- Refrigerator Not Cooling but Freezer is Cold: This often points to a failing evaporator fan motor or a blocked air control damper preventing cold air from circulating to the fridge compartment.
- Loud Clicking or Humming Noises: Constant clicking usually indicates a faulty starter relay or a compressor struggling to turn on. Squealing sounds typically signify worn-out bearings in the condenser fan.
- Ice Maker Not Dropping Ice: Common culprits include a clogged water inlet valve, a frozen fill tube, or a malfunctioning mold heater. We carry specialized sensors for Samsung and LG ice makers to resolve this quickly.
- Water Leaking Inside or on the Floor: Leaks inside under the crisper drawers are usually caused by a clogged defrost drain tube. If water is pooling behind the unit, we inspect for a cracked drain pan or a leaking water line connection.
- Excessive Frost Buildup in Freezer: This is a classic sign of a defrost system failure, such as a burnt-out defrost heater or a faulty bi-metal thermostat.
- Error Codes on Display Panel: Modern smart fridges use electronic control boards to signal failures. We provide expert board-level diagnostics to “crack the code” and avoid unnecessary replacements.
Quick Repair for All Refrigerator Makes & Models
Our technicians are factory-trained to handle the specialized engineering of every major brand, from high-tech digital inverters to classic mechanical cooling systems. Below are the manufacturers we service daily using genuine parts and specialized diagnostic tools.
What Should You Do If You See an Error Code?
Do not ignore flashing codes, as they are early warning signs of mechanical failure. While some codes can be cleared by unplugging the unit for 10 minutes, persistent codes require a professional diagnostic. Max Appliance Repair Halifax offers same-day service to read these codes and install the correct genuine parts to avoid further damage.
Common Refrigerator Error Codes We Encounter and Fix on a Daily & What They Mean
Modern refrigerators use electronic control boards to monitor performance. If your display panel is flashing a specific code, it is often the first step in our diagnostic process. Here are the common codes our technicians, like Vadym and Nathan, encounter daily:
Samsung Fridge Error Codes
- 5E or 5R: Indicates a fridge defrost sensor issue, which can lead to ice buildup and cooling failure.
- 22E or 22C: Points to an evaporator fan motor failure, preventing cold air from reaching the fresh food section.
- 88 88: This often appears after a power outage and may require a simple reset or indicates a faulty main control board.
LG Fridge Error Codes
- Er IF (or Er 1F): Signals a problem with the ice room fan, often caused by ice buildup blocking the blades.
- Er FF: Indicates a freezer fan failure, which usually results in both compartments losing their temperature.
- Er CL: This is not a failure but stands for Child Lock mode-check your settings before booking a service call.
Whirlpool, Maytag, & KitchenAid Codes
- d7: Indicates a stuck air damper, which regulates how much cold air enters the refrigerator from the freezer.
- PO: Stands for Power Outage; if temperatures are high, our technicians can verify if your compressor or relay was damaged by a power surge.
- Service Icon Flashing: This is a general call for professional diagnostics to prevent a minor sensor issue from becoming a total cooling failure.
Frigidaire & Electrolux Codes
- SY EF: Indicates a system evaporator fan failure, preventing the unit from maintaining food-safe temperatures.
- OP: This means a fresh food sensor is open or disconnected and needs replacement to regulate cooling.
- H1: Usually means the freezer temperature is too high, signaling a potential defrost or compressor failure.

Refrigerator Service & Warranty FAQ
Many people would say that their fridge is the heartbeat of their kitchen, which makes it an integral appliance in your home. When a fridge breaks down, many people have a million and one questions flowing through their minds because it is difficult to go about your life with a refrigerator. Here at Max Repair, we field a lot of questions about fridge repairs. Here are some of the most common questions we are asked:
Q: How much does it cost to fix a refrigerator in Halifax?
A: We offer competitive, flat-rate labor pricing based on the complexity of the repair. To provide the best value, we include a FREE Service Call with any completed repair. After a professional diagnostic, you will receive a transparent written estimate for the parts and labor required to fix your specific model.
Q: What kind of warranty do you offer on fridge repairs?
A: Max Appliance Repair Halifax stands behind every job with a 3-Month Parts & Labor Warranty. If the same component fails within 90 days, we will return to fix it at no additional cost to you. We prioritize long-term results over quick, temporary fixes.
Q: Should I attempt DIY repairs?
A: Obviously you have every right to examine your appliance and attempt repairs. However, we can’t even count the number of times that people have called us saying they tried to do repairs themselves but believe they only managed to further damage the machine. Our technicians have the training and experience you can rely on to get the job done right the first time.
Q: Is it better to repair my fridge or buy a new one?
We follow the 50% Rule: If the repair cost is more than half the price of a new unit and your fridge is over 8-10 years old, we may recommend replacement. However, high-build-quality brands like Bosch, Miele, and Sub-Zero are almost always worth repairing as they are designed to last 15+ years with proper maintenance.
