Why your refrigerator is ice buildup
Frost builds to a quarter-inch or more on the back wall and around the evaporator, and the drawers stop sliding freely — that is the refrigerator reporting something specific, not a vague fault. It will keep working after a fashion, but the underlying fault does not fix itself.
Causes, in the order we check them
- 01A defrost drain blocked with ice
- 02A defrost timer that's failed
- 03A defrost heater that's burned out
Quick checks worth doing
The one self-check actually worth your time: note how often the door's been left ajar recently, since that's the single biggest driver of humid air getting in. To confirm it either way, feel whether the air coming off the condenser is hot or barely warm — barely warm means it is not rejecting heat. Should that not resolve it, if ice keeps returning, the defrost heater, timer, or sensor has failed, and reaching those means removing interior panels without damaging the liner.
Our technician runs a full sealed-system and control diagnostic on your refrigerator before quoting anything. The repair is backed by the labor and parts warranty once the cause is confirmed and put right.
What St. Johns's climate does to a refrigerator
Set a refrigerator down in St. Johns and the environment starts working on it immediately, not eventually. Ambient heat raises the condensing temperature all summer, so the compressor runs closer to its limit for months at a stretch. Our technicians know what St. Johns's climate does to a refrigerator, and we check those weak points while we're already on site.

Common questions
Answered before you call.
Where do the replacement parts come from?
OEM wherever the repair calls for it. If a part is no longer produced for your model, you hear that up front rather than after the invoice.
What does the diagnosis involve?
The technician confirms the fault on the unit itself — readings taken, not assumed — then explains what failed, why, and what the repair involves before anything is replaced.
Is the repair covered by a warranty?
You're covered by our 18-month labor warranty and 90-day parts warranty. If the same fault recurs in that period, the follow-up visit is free.
How do I know if it is worth repairing?
We will say so. If the failure is one that takes a unit past sensible repair — a failed sealed system on an old cabinet, say — you get that assessment rather than a part you would replace again next year.
