Fridge or Oven Down in Cumming, GA? Same- or Next-Day Repair

What to Do Before the Technician Arrives

1. Close it up. Each time the door opens, cold air falls out the bottom. Shut it and leave it.
2. Rule out power. Check the plug, the breaker and the GFCI outlet in the garage or basement. If the house lost power recently, flip the breaker off and on once.
3. Measure, don't guess. A thermometer on the middle shelf tells you more than your hand does. The fresh-food side should read 40°F or colder and the freezer 0°F.
4. Plan by the clock. The USDA's rule of thumb is about 4 hours for a closed refrigerator, and around 48 for a full freezer that stays shut (about 24 if it's half full).
5. Move the critical items. Refrigerated medicine, baby formula and breast milk go into a cooler with ice before anything else.
6. Note the details. The brand, the model number, any code on the display and when you first noticed the problem.

When Something Breaks in Cumming Homes

• The freezer drawer is soft but the fridge is fine. In bottom-freezer models, a failing evaporator fan or frost on the coil often shows up in the freezer first.
• The refrigerator went warm after a power blink. A surge can damage a control board or a start relay.
• Water is coming through the basement ceiling. A refrigerator water line upstairs has split or a fitting has loosened. Shut off the water to the fridge right away.
• The garage freezer is running nonstop. Summer heat in the garage, a dirty condenser or a failing door seal.
• The ice maker in the door has frozen solid. A door seal or a heater in the ice compartment has failed.
• The wall oven shows a code and won't heat. Often a temperature sensor, a door lock or the control.
• A gas cooktop burner won't stay lit. A dirty or misplaced burner cap, a weak spark or a gas flow problem.

Restaurants, Marinas and Shops in Cumming

From the restaurants along Market Place Boulevard to the businesses that serve the lake crowd, Cumming's commercial kitchens lean hard on refrigeration in summer. Reach-ins and prep tables have to hold 41°F or below under the FDA Food Code, and ice machines are expected to keep up on the hottest weekends of the year.

Pick Business in the form, tell us the unit type, brand and what it's doing, and we'll book the first window we have.

Power Outages and Generators

Storms knock out power on the more rural edges of Forsyth County every year. When it comes back, refrigerators and freezers usually restart on their own, but not always.

• Give it a few hours. A fridge that was off for a while needs time to pull back down to temperature.
• Still warm the next day? A control board, a start relay or a fan may have taken a hit from the surge.
• Running a generator? Keep it outside, well away from doors and windows, never in the garage. Carbon monoxide from a generator is deadly. Plug the refrigerator into a properly rated outdoor extension cord or a transfer switch installed by an electrician.
• Ice maker not cycling? Many won't restart until the freezer is cold again. Wait a day before calling about it.
