The Most Common Refrigeration Repair Service Calls

The actual repair of replacing a compressor motor takes minimal time.

Our service vehicles will typically be stocked with a replacement compressor that will fit popular models such as Frigidaire, Kenmore, Kitchen Aid, Maytag and Whirlpool. If you have a GE Monogram, Miele, Thermador or any other model, chances are we have the part that you need.
