Overview

How we repair your Side-By-Side Refrigerator

A side-by-side refrigerator splits the cabinet vertically with a full-height freezer on one side and fresh food on the other, often with a through-the-door dispenser. Every side-by-side refrigerator relies on a compressor, condenser, evaporator, fans and a control board or thermostat working together, plus door gaskets that hold the cold in. A technician starts by measuring cabinet and coil temperatures, checking airflow and defrost operation, then tests electrical parts before ever touching the sealed system.

Diagnosis

Common Side-By-Side Refrigerator problems we fix

What usually causes each symptom, and what our technician checks to confirm it.

Dispenser light or panel dead

Likely causes
A failed dispenser control board, a loose wire harness through the hinge, or a bad door switch.
What our technician checks
Voltage is checked at the dispenser board and the hinge harness is tested for broken wires.

Doors not lining up

Likely causes
Worn hinge bushings, a loaded door sagging, or a cabinet that is no longer level.
What our technician checks
The hinges and bushings are inspected and the leveling legs and door alignment are adjusted.

Frost in the narrow freezer side

Likely causes
A torn freezer gasket, a door held open by a shelf item, or a defrost heater or thermostat failure.
What our technician checks
Gaskets are inspected and the defrost heater, thermostat and control are tested.

Ice dispenser jams or will not dispense

Likely causes
Ice clumped in the bin, a failed auger motor, a stuck dispenser door flap, or a broken actuator switch.
What our technician checks
The technician clears the bin, runs the auger motor directly, and tests the dispenser switch and door solenoid.

Water leaking from the freezer door

Likely causes
A frozen or cracked water line running through the door hinge, or a leaking fitting at the dispenser.
What our technician checks
The door line is inspected at the hinge and the dispenser fittings are checked under water pressure.

Fresh-food side warm

Likely causes
An iced evaporator from a defrost failure, a failed evaporator fan, or a stuck air damper between sides.
What our technician checks
The rear freezer panel is removed to check frost, the fan is tested, and the damper is checked.
Before you call

Quick checks you can do safely

  • Break up clumped ice in the bin and remove large pieces.
  • Check that the dispenser lock or child lock is turned off.
  • Replace the water filter if it is overdue.
  • Make sure nothing in the freezer door shelves is blocking the door from closing.
  • Check the plug and breaker.

Safety first: Shut off the water supply and unplug the unit before working on the dispenser, and leave sealed refrigerant work to an EPA-certified technician.
