Milk turning early. Ice cream soft. A back wall furry with frost. Those three symptoms point three different directions, which is why we ask questions first. Is the compressor running nonstop? Are the vents inside blowing air at all? Warm fridge with a cold freezer usually means airflow, not refrigerant. We check the defrost cycle, the door seals, the fan, and the drain line before naming a part. Montgomery homeowners often call us after a second week of throwing out food. Do not wait for the second week. Describe what you see.

From Montgomery we cover 36104, 36106, 36108, and 36110, plus nearby Millbrook, Prattville, and out toward Troy and Selma.
We start with your description, since sounds and timing narrow things fast. Then we measure compartment temperatures, inspect the evaporator for frost, test the fans, and check electrical components with meters. Guesswork replaces parts; testing replaces the right one.
Frost on the rear panel usually means the defrost cycle stopped working. Heater, thermostat, sensor, or board are the usual suspects. Left alone, the frost blocks airflow and the fresh food side warms up. Worth looking at soon.
Unplugging it and letting it thaw overnight often restores cooling for a while. That's useful information, not a fix. If cooling returns after a thaw, the defrost system is the culprit and it will fail again.
Depends on the failure. A relay, fan, gasket, or drain clog is usually a sensible repair on almost any age unit. Sealed-system damage on a very old fridge is a different conversation. We tell you which side you're on.
Tell us the symptom when you call us and we'll match you to the next open window, often same week. Morning and afternoon arrival windows are available on most weekdays. If your fridge is warming up or a leak is spreading, say so first — those move ahead of routine checks.
Tell us what you hear, smell, or see. Grinding? Puddle? Blinking code? Small details narrow the list of likely causes before we ever pull the machine away from the wall.
A technician runs through a checklist: power, controls, sensors, motors, seals, drainage. We test instead of guessing, then walk you through the actual fault and your repair options.
Some faults are worth fixing today. Others mean the appliance is near the end. We tell you which is which, then complete the repair once you say go.
Ask these of anyone you let into your home — us included. Call and we'll answer all five before you book anything.
