Older side-by-sides and top freezers in Burr Ridge
Many Burr Ridge homes still run a side-by-side or top-freezer refrigerator from an earlier remodel. Those models often use a mechanical defrost timer, a small clock motor that switches the heater on a few times a day. When the timer sticks, frost packs the freezer coils and both sides warm up. Side-by-side freezers are narrow, so a frosted back wall shows fast. The water dispenser on the door can also drip when its valve wears. Door gaskets on older units tear at the bottom corners first.
How we handle a Burr Ridge refrigerator call
The freezer back panel comes off first so we can see the frost pattern. That tells us if the timer, the heater or the thermostat has failed. A timer or heater is a modest repair, so it is nearly always worth doing on a sound unit. Burr Ridge customers do not pay the $79 diagnostic once they choose the repair. Visits run 6am to 9pm, every day.
Refrigerators in Burr Ridge Club's 1970s cutouts
Burr Ridge Club went up in the early 1970s. Those kitchens were built around a fridge about 30 inches wide. Many fridges sold today are wider and taller than that hole. So a repair keeps the kitchen as it is. Warm food and a fan that runs all day point to dirty coils. The coils sit under or behind the fridge and dump its heat. Dust on them traps that heat inside. We clean the coils, check the fan and test the compressor in place. The fridge never leaves its spot in the cabinet. Same-day visits are open most days at (312) 598-9111.
