Most refrigerators are built to last 10 to 15 years. If yours is less than 10 years old and the repair cost is under half the price of a new unit, repair is usually the smarter investment. In University of Virginia's humid summers and storm-prone weather, regular maintenance like cleaning condenser coils and checking door seals can extend your refrigerator's useful life well beyond the average. Your technician can help you weigh the options during the diagnostic visit.

Our technicians provide appliance repair throughout University of Virginia and nearby communities including The Corner, Rugby Road, North Grounds, Central Grounds, West Main Street, Barracks Road, Lewis Mountain, Fontaine, and surrounding areas of Virginia. Service appointments are available six days a week.

A few environmental factors hit appliances hard around University of Virginia. Humid subtropical summers encourage mildew in washer gaskets and force refrigerator compressors to run long cycles, while winter cold snaps strain HVAC systems through extended heating runs. Thunderstorms and ice storms can drive surges through electronic control boards on dishwashers, ovens, and HVAC units. And homes on well water in outlying areas often see harder water that scales up dishwashers, ice makers, and water heater tanks faster than municipal supplies. These conditions make regular maintenance especially important.

If your home runs on well water, mineral scale is the most common cause of slow or jammed ice makers. Replace your refrigerator water filter every six months, and inspect the ice maker fill tube and inlet valve screen for white mineral buildup at least twice a year. Running a manufacturer-approved descaler through the line, or installing a whole-home softener if hardness is severe, helps too. Keep the freezer at zero degrees Fahrenheit so cubes form cleanly without sticking together.
