Frost, seals and water lines in Albany Park apartments
Many Albany Park apartments keep the same refrigerator for a long time, and the defrost system wears out first. When the defrost heater or its bimetal thermostat fails, frost grows over the freezer coils. Soon the fan blades scrape the ice and the fresh food side warms. A thin, saddle-style water valve on an old copper line can drip behind the fridge for weeks. Door gaskets lose their grip in a tight spot, since the doors cannot swing fully open. We check the defrost parts, the valve and the gaskets.
Working on a refrigerator in an Albany Park flat
A look at the freezer back wall tells us right away if the defrost system is at fault. We meter the heater and thermostat, then check the water line and gaskets. Since a new model may not fit the old spot, fixing the one you have is often smarter. The price is set before work. Albany Park often gets a same-day opening.
Refrigerators in Albany Park's tight pre-war kitchens
The fridge spot in an Albany Park flat was framed a century ago for a much smaller box. A modern refrigerator barely fits, and it often had to come up the back stairs to get there. When it fails, a new one may not fit the spot at all. So repair is usually the better choice here.
A fridge that goes warm on top but stays cold below has a fan that quit inside the freezer. It moves the cold air up, and it is a quick swap. We pull the fridge out, test the parts and fix what failed. We waive the $79 diagnostic fee when we do the repair. Call (872) 250-3778.
