Freezer Not Freezing
A freezer that will not freeze may have a door gap, blocked airflow, dusty coils, or a failed fan. Check these signs before deciding whether it needs repair.

What We Fix in Vancouver Refrigerators
The Vancouver team repairs top-freezer, bottom-freezer, side-by-side and French-door refrigerators, upright and chest freezers, built-in columns, wine coolers and ice makers. Sealed-system work, such as a leak repair, a recharge or a new compressor, is done by an EPA Section 608 certified technician. A fresh-food section that runs warm while the freezer stays cold usually points to an iced-over evaporator or a failed fan, and an ice maker that stops often needs a water valve. Labor from our rate table:
- Door switch or door gasket: $130–$180
- Evaporator or condenser fan motor: $160–$210
- Defrost heater: $180–$240
- Ice maker or water inlet valve: $160–$260
- Main control or inverter board: $180–$250
- Sealed-system leak check and recharge: $260–$350
- Compressor: $320–$500
Parts and tax are extra, and the diagnosis sets the final labor. Coil, drain line and fan cleaning are on the Vancouver rate table as well.
While you wait, keep the doors shut. Federal food safety guidance says an unopened refrigerator keeps food cold for about four hours without power, and perishables held above 40°F for more than two hours should be discarded. If the power was out, give the refrigerator several hours to cool back down before you decide it has failed. These are the refrigerator problems the team repairs:
- Not cooling or freezing
- Fridge warm, freezer cold
- Food freezing in the fridge
- Frost building up in the freezer
- Ice maker not making ice
- Too little ice or small cubes
- Water dispenser not working
- Water leaking onto the floor
- Water pooling inside the fridge
- Loud buzzing or humming
- Rattling or knocking
- Clicking from the back of the fridge
- Refrigerator running all the time
- Fridge turning on and off
- Display or buttons not responding
- Not turning on
- Interior light not working
- Door not sealing or closing properly
- Torn gasket or sweating door
- Broken shelves, bins, or drawers

Process
How It Works
Book a Time
Choose an open 2-hour arrival window online or call the Vancouver team. Tell us the brand, the model if you have it, and what the appliance is doing, so the technician comes with the right parts.
Diagnosis and Written Estimate
The technician tests the appliance and explains what failed. You get a written estimate on the spot that lists parts and labor.
You Decide
No repair starts until you approve the estimate. Approve it and the diagnostic fee is waived; decline it and you pay only the diagnostic. If the repair would cost more than about half the price of a comparable new appliance, the technician tells you first.
Repair and Warranty
If the technician has the part on hand, the repair usually happens on the same visit. If it has to be ordered, you pick the return time. Pay by card, cash, check or tap. Repairs are covered by a warranty of up to 1 year, depending on the work.
Book a Diagnostic Visit
The diagnostic visit is $85 per appliance in Vancouver. The technician inspects the appliance, finds the fault and writes up a repair estimate. Approve the repair and the $85 is waived; decline it and the diagnostic is all you pay. Open 2-hour arrival windows are shown live.Common Refrigerator Issues in Our Blog

Refrigerator Not Cooling
Fridge runs but stays warm? Check the setting, coils, and vents first, then see which symptoms point to a fan, defrost, or compressor fault.
Refrigerator Repair in Vancouver: Questions
How much is a refrigerator diagnostic in Vancouver?
$85 per refrigerator, freezer, wine cooler or ice maker. The fee is waived when you approve the repair, and you pay the repair price on your written estimate plus tax. If you decide not to repair, the diagnostic is all you pay.
How much does a refrigerator repair cost in Vancouver?
Labor runs from about $130 for a door switch to $160–$260 for fan motors, water valves and ice makers, and $320–$500 for a compressor. Parts and tax are added on top, and you approve the written estimate before any work starts. The full list is on the Vancouver rate table.
Do you repair sealed systems and compressors?
Yes. Leak repairs, recharges, evaporators, condensers and compressors are handled by an EPA Section 608 certified technician, as federal law requires. On an older refrigerator a sealed-system repair can cost more than the unit is worth, and the technician tells you that before you approve anything.
How soon can you get to my refrigerator?
The booking page lists open 2-hour arrival windows live, and the earliest one is the soonest visit. Tell us the brand and what the refrigerator is doing when you book, so the technician brings the parts it most likely needs.
Do you repair Sub-Zero and built-in refrigerators?
Do you come to Ridgefield, Battle Ground and Camas?
Yes. Ridgefield, Battle Ground and Camas are in the Vancouver team's area, together with Vancouver, Hazel Dell, Salmon Creek, Orchards, Felida, Brush Prairie and Washougal. Check your ZIP code in the list on this page to be sure.
What if my refrigerator is still under the manufacturer's warranty?
Call the manufacturer first: Swift is an independent company and does not perform manufacturer-warranty repairs. Many brands cover the sealed system longer than the rest of the refrigerator, so check your paperwork before you book a sealed-system repair.
What warranty comes with a refrigerator repair?
Refrigerator repairs carry a warranty of up to 1 year, depending on the work; sealed-system repairs get the longest coverage. If the work we did fails within its warranty period, we come back and redo it with no labor charge. Parts carry their manufacturer's or supplier's warranty. Full terms are on our warranty page.
