LG Fridge Compressor Replacement

When Mrs. Evanson’s LG refrigerator stopped cooling, we quickly identified that the issue was due to a faulty linear compressor—a common failure point in certain LG models. The compressor, which is responsible for circulating refrigerant and maintaining the cooling cycle, had stopped functioning, causing both the fridge and freezer compartments to warm up.

Our technician began by verifying the problem using pressure gauges and a multimeter to check for voltage and continuity in the compressor circuit. Once the compressor failure was confirmed, we recovered the refrigerant in compliance with EPA regulations and carefully disconnected the old compressor.

Next, we installed a brand-new OEM linear compressor, ensuring all connections were properly sealed and secure. After recharging the system with the correct type and amount of refrigerant, we tested the system’s pressure and cooling performance. Once the fridge reached the optimal temperature, we performed a final leak check to ensure long-term reliability.

The entire repair process took a few hours, and by the end of the day, Mrs. Johnson’s fridge was running like new. This case highlights the importance of using high-quality parts, proper refrigerant handling, and precise testing to ensure a successful compressor replacement.

Samsung Refrigerator Ice Maker Replacement

Mr. Carter reached out to us after noticing that his Samsung refrigerator’s ice maker had stopped producing ice. Our technician arrived promptly and began by running a diagnostic test using the fridge’s built-in diagnostic mode, which revealed that the ice maker motor had failed. Additionally, we found that the water fill tube was partially clogged with ice, likely due to inconsistent water flow.

To begin the repair, we first disconnected the power and water supply to ensure safety. The faulty ice maker unit was carefully removed, including detaching the wiring harness and unclogging the water fill tube. After cleaning the area and ensuring the water line was clear, we installed a brand-new OEM Samsung ice maker, designed specifically for this refrigerator model.

Once the new ice maker was secured and connected, we tested the unit by initiating a forced ice-making cycle. Within minutes, the ice maker filled with water and began the freezing process. After confirming proper operation, we advised Mr. Carter to discard the first batch of ice, as it typically contains residual particles from the new installation.

This repair demonstrated the importance of diagnosing not just the ice maker itself but also related components, like the water line and fill tube, to prevent recurring issues. Thanks to our thorough process and use of quality parts, Mr. Carter now enjoys a fully functional ice maker without worries of further issues.

GE Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Replacement

When Mrs. Wilson noticed that her GE refrigerator wasn’t cooling properly but the freezer was still cold, she called Qualitech Appliance for help. Our technician arrived and quickly identified that the likely issue was a faulty evaporator fan. This fan is responsible for circulating cold air from the freezer into the refrigerator compartment, so when it fails, the fridge can’t maintain a consistent temperature.

We began the repair by unplugging the fridge and removing the back panel inside the freezer to access the evaporator assembly. Upon inspection, we confirmed that the evaporator fan motor had seized. Using a multimeter, we tested the motor for continuity, which verified the failure. Additionally, we checked for any ice buildup around the evaporator coils that could cause airflow issues.

After ensuring that the coils were free of frost, we replaced the old fan motor with a genuine GE replacement part. Once installed, we reconnected the wiring harness, secured the fan in place, and reassembled the back panel. Before completing the repair, we powered the fridge back on and monitored the fan operation, confirming it was running smoothly and circulating cold air as expected.

Within a short time, the fridge temperature stabilized, and Mrs. Wilson’s refrigerator was back to full functionality. We explained to her how routine maintenance, like keeping the coils clean and ensuring proper airflow, can help prevent future issues.

This case highlights the importance of a properly functioning evaporator fan in maintaining optimal cooling and how a precise, professional replacement can quickly restore appliance performance. At Qualitech Appliance, we pride ourselves on accurate diagnostics, quality repairs, and getting your appliances back in top shape.

Samsung Refrigerator Frozen Evaporator Cover Replacement

Mr. Lee contacted Qualitech Appliance after noticing that his Samsung refrigerator was struggling to cool, while the freezer seemed to be working fine. Upon arrival, our technician immediately suspected a common issue in Samsung models—ice buildup behind the evaporator cover, which can block airflow and cause cooling problems in the refrigerator compartment.

We started by removing the contents of the fridge and unplugging the unit for safety. After carefully taking off the rear evaporator cover inside the fridge, we found a thick layer of ice surrounding the evaporator coils and fan, confirming that airflow was severely restricted. This ice buildup often occurs due to a malfunctioning defrost system or poor air circulation.

Next, we defrosted the evaporator coils using a specialized heat gun, ensuring no damage was done to the surrounding components. Once the ice was completely removed, we inspected the defrost heater, thermostat, and drain line for blockages or failures. Finding no issues with the defrost components, we concluded that the ice buildup was likely caused by poor sealing of the evaporator cover, which allowed moist air to enter and freeze over time.

To prevent recurrence, we replaced the evaporator cover with an upgraded version designed to improve airflow and seal more effectively. After securing the new cover, we powered on the fridge and confirmed proper cooling and airflow. We advised Mr. Lee to monitor the fridge for a few days and let us know if he noticed any further issues.

This repair demonstrated the importance of addressing ice buildup promptly to prevent long-term cooling issues. With the correct parts and a precise installation, Mr. Lee’s Samsung refrigerator was back to running efficiently, ensuring optimal food preservation.
