When a Lombard refrigerator starts running loud
Noise is the early warning. A buzz that grows louder over weeks is a compressor working harder than it should. A grinding or scraping from the freezer is the evaporator fan motor, sometimes hitting ice, sometimes just worn. A click every few minutes with no cooling is the start relay. Catch any of these early and the repair is a single part. Lombard has around 19,150 housing units spread from the pre-war downtown core out to the post-war subdivisions, and the refrigerators in them range from built-in Sub-Zeros to twenty-year-old top freezers. We are a short drive away in Glendale Heights and can usually be there the same day.

Refrigerators in Lombard's Lilac Village springs
Lilacia Park has 200 kinds of lilacs and gives Lombard its Lilac Village name. Spring is also when a weak refrigerator shows itself. The kitchen warms up, the door opens more and the unit runs longer. Dirty coils at the back make that worse. So we pull the refrigerator out and clean the coils on every call. We check the door seal with a sheet of paper. We clear the defrost drain so water stops pooling under the crisper. Then we check the ice maker line behind the unit. A refrigerator in a Lombard kitchen should be ready before the hot months.

Refrigerator calls are urgent because the food is at risk. A fridge that is not cooling can be dirty condenser coils, but more often a failed compressor, evaporator fan, start relay or thermostat. Water underneath usually comes from a blocked defrost drain or a cracked water line to the ice maker. Buzzing, clicking or grinding means a fan or compressor is failing. An ice maker that has stopped is typically the inlet valve, the fill tube or the ice maker module itself. We repair French door, side-by-side, bottom freezer and smart refrigerators across all major brands. Repairs start from $249, and the $79 diagnostic is waived when we do the work.
