What we see on refrigerator calls in Beacon Hill
Beacon Hill homes often keep a second refrigerator or a chest freezer in the basement or garage, full of food bought in bulk. When one of those fails, a lot is at stake, so warm-freezer calls move up our schedule. The usual causes are a failed start relay, a defrost fault, or a condenser fan blocked by stored boxes.
Most refrigerator calls in the city come down to air, ice and a few small parts. A frozen evaporator coil blocks the cold air meant for the fresh-food compartment. When a defrost heater or its thermostat quits, frost builds until the fan blade scrapes it. A start relay clicks every few minutes while the compressor stays silent. A meter and a thermometer tell us which part is to blame before anything gets ordered, and you get the number in ink first.
Frost on the rear panel
Something in the defrost circuit, heater, sensor or control, has quit. Left alone, ice spreads until no air moves.
Puddles below the crispers
The defrost drain has iced up or clogged, and melt water that should reach the pan underneath ends up inside the fridge.
Clicking, then silence
A failing start relay or overload, sometimes a compressor that will not start. We test which one before anything is ordered.
A loud fan or a buzzing hum
Ice touching a fan blade, a worn condenser fan motor, or a compressor straining against dusty coils.

FAQ
Refrigerators in Beacon Hill: questions
Do you serve the south end of Beacon Hill too?
Yes, the whole ridge, from the north end down past S Myrtle Street. Put your ZIP code in the request and we confirm when we call back.
Do I unplug a warm fridge while I wait?
No, keep it plugged in. The exceptions: water reaching a floor that could be damaged, or frost jamming the fan. Otherwise the technician wants to catch the fault in the act.
How long can food sit in a fridge that stopped cooling?
A closed refrigerator holds a safe temperature for about four hours without cooling. If the fresh-food side reads above 40°F, the perishables (milk, meat, cooked food) belong in an iced cooler until we arrive.
Do you repair counter-depth and built-in models?
Yes, including counter-depth French-door units and built-in columns. Share the model number when we phone back, and the likely parts come along.
