"My refrigerator and freezer were not working properly. I called on a Friday evening and was able to schedule a technician to come by the very next morning. Dennis was very knowledgeable, polite, and professional. He diagnosed the issue quickly and came back a few days later with parts to repair my refrigerator. Great customer service! Would highly recommend and contact again if I ever have any other issues with my appliances."

See how we fixed a refrigerator that was not cooling in Eastvale

When your refrigerator is not getting cold enough but the lights are on and the compressor is running, it can be frustrating and costly if food starts to spoil. This is exactly what happened to a customer in Eastvale, CA, who reached out to IK Service Appliance Repair after noticing that her refrigerator wasn’t cooling properly and her freezer had ice buildup. Our technician Dennis was able to visit the very next morning to diagnose the issue.

What was wrong with the fridge?

The client's refrigerator showed signs of several issues:

  • The fridge wasn’t cooling, but the freezer was running
  • The refrigerator temperature was too warm
  • Ice buildup was forming in the freezer
  • The refrigerator wasn’t blowing cold air at all

These are classic symptoms of a refrigerator not cooling but the compressor running, and they can also make people ask, “What should I do if my fridge is not cooling properly?”

What causes a refrigerator to stop cooling?

Here are the most common causes our techs find during Eastvale refrigerator repairs:

  • Faulty evaporator fan motor – prevents cold air from circulating
  • Clogged defrost drain – leads to ice buildup and airflow blockage
  • Defective thermostat – fails to trigger the cooling cycle
  • Dirty condenser coils – reduces cooling efficiency
  • Frosted-over evaporator coil – blocks airflow from freezer to fridge

In this case, Dennis found both a faulty fan motor and a clogged defrost drain, which perfectly explained why the fridge wasn’t cooling and had ice buildup.

How we fixed it

  • Diagnosed the issue during the initial visit
  • Ordered replacement parts (evaporator fan motor)
  • Returned in 3 days to complete the repair
  • Cleared the defrost drain and ensured airflow was restored
  • Tested the system; the refrigerator cooling returned to normal

Today I had my refrigerator and my dishwasher repaired by Dennis. He did an amazing job. This company is wonderful because they were able to get me seen on the same day I called to request service, which was super convenient. Dennis was super friendly and walked me through the whole process and even showed me how to use my icemaker! I’ll definitely be using them again referring them to all my friends and family. Thanks again.

Although it took 3 trips to install my washer, the 2 technicians, esp Dennis, did a fabulous job. Thanks for taking such good care of my appliances and doing all the extra little tasks I had you do.  I really wanted to give you 5 stars…but it did take 3 days to install 1 appliance.  But I would definitely call again use your service again and recommend you to my friends.

My experience with IK Service was fantastic. I called because my washing machine had stopped working. Within 2 hours, they had a technician, Igor, at my house to look at the problem. Igor was very kind and respectful and showed me what the problem was. Though I did not end up moving forward with repairs (the motor was dead and the replacement piece was very expensive because of how old the washer it), I would 100% use IK Service again if I had another appliance issue. Definitely recommend due to speed, communication, and customer service.The technician Viktor was quick,knows what he was doing and was able to finish the job in a few minutes.
