When a fridge stops keeping food cold, the clock is ticking. Below are the five culprits we see most in service calls, sorted from easiest DIY fix to full technician territory.

If lettuce is freezing in the crisper or food is coming out with freezer burn, a stuck damper or a bad thermistor is the likely culprit. Here's how to trace it.

Empty ice trays, hollow cubes, or an ice maker that's frozen solid — work the problem from the water line down to the module and you'll find it fast.

When the dispenser slows to a dribble or quits altogether, the filter, a frozen line, or weak water pressure is usually to blame — here's the fast way to check each.

A puddle spreading out from under the fridge nearly always comes down to a clogged defrost drain or a water line that's come loose. Here's how to trace it to the source.

A compressor that never cycles off pushes your power bill up and wears the fridge out faster. These are the reasons it happens most often.

A buzz, a knock, or a grind each point toward a different failing part. Match what you're hearing to the likely cause before it gets worse.

Heavy frost coating the walls or coils eats into storage space and wastes energy. It usually means moisture is sneaking in or the defrost cycle has quit working.
