•Many Prospect Heights properties from the 1970s and 1980s feature attached garages where garage refrigerators often stop cooling during extended sub-freezing periods.

•Cook County homes in this section of Prospect Heights tend to have deeper lots with mature trees that can affect condenser coil airflow during humid summers.

Common Refrigerator Problems in Prospect Heights

Compressor failure in older refrigerators

Compressors wear out over time, especially in units that run constantly during hot summers. Our approach We test the compressor with a multimeter and manifold gauge set. If it is failing, we replace it and recharge the system to spec.

Ice maker not working in Samsung and LG units

Why it happens here Newer refrigerators in River Trails and other multi-family buildings often have ice maker issues. The water inlet valve clogs or the ice maker module fails.Our approach We replace the water inlet valve and ice maker assembly if needed. We also check the water filter and line for kinks.

Refrigerator leaking water onto the floor

Why it happens here A clogged defrost drain is the most common cause.A cracked water line can also cause leaks. Our approach We clear the drain, flush the line, and replace any cracked water lines. We also check the door gaskets to make sure they are sealing properly. Year-Round Coverage
