Counted from the 16 profiles above, not from a survey. Everything a business states about itself is reported as a claim.
Louisiana holds 16 listed refrigerator repair businesses, out of 676 nationwide. That ranks 13th of the 50 states with any, level with Indiana and behind Texas on 27. They are 16 of the 17 businesses listed in Louisiana — 94% of the state directory.
Their ratings average 4.6, level with the 4.6 average across all 676 listed nationwide, and 16 of the 16 sit at 4.5 or better. None holds a straight 5.0, and none sits below 4.0. Between them they carry 1,043 reviews, the largest single tally being 198 on Jefferson Appliance Inc in New Orleans. Rating and review volume are what the businesses' own public profiles report — treat a high average on six reviews differently from the same average on six hundred.
By review volume the group is led by Jefferson Appliance Inc in New Orleans (198 reviews, 4.7), Crescent City Appliance Service in New Orleans (145 reviews, 4.6) and Jefferson Appliance Service Inc in Harahan (130 reviews, 4.5). By rating it is Quick Start Appliances Repair at 4.8 on 53 reviews, Jefferson Appliance Inc at 4.7 on 198 reviews and Crescent City Appliance Service at 4.6 on 145 reviews. Those are two different questions and they rarely give the same answer — volume tells you a company has been doing this at scale, a high average on a handful of reviews tells you much less.
All 16 state that they are licensed, and all state that they carry insurance. On top of that, 13 show a Better Business Bureau accreditation, 2 state a factory-authorised or factory-trained credential and 2 publish a parts-and-labor warranty term in the profiles. None advertises round-the-clock emergency cover, but 2 advertise same-day service. All of that is self-stated in the listing, not verified here: ask for the license number and a current certificate of insurance, and for anything that opens a sealed refrigerant system ask to see federal EPA Section 608 certification, which is required in all fifty states.
7 of the 16 publish a founding year: the longest-established has been trading since 1974, and the median across those that say is 21 years. New Orleans holds the most at 6 — 38% of the group — followed by Baton Rouge on 2, across 9 Louisiana cities with an index page. Between them they name 45 distinct towns, suburbs and neighborhoods in their stated service areas, so coverage reaches well past the cities listed here — give your address when you call rather than assuming.

Not counted above
This is a real Louisiana company whose record carries contact details but no list of what it repairs. It does not state refrigerator repair, so it is not counted in the 16 above and is not listed here as servicing one. Asking takes one phone call, which beats starting the search again.

The 5 most common refrigerator faults, and whether each is homeowner work or a job for a licensed technician.
Fridge side is warm but the freezer is still cold
TechnicianThe evaporator fan has stopped, or the damper between the two compartments is stuck shut. One evaporator cools both sides on most modern units, so the freezer holds temperature longest.
Step-by-step: Refrigerator Not Cooling→Nothing is cold and the compressor clicks every few minutes
TechnicianA failed start relay or overload protector. The relay plugs into the side of the compressor and rattles when it has failed — the classic five-second test.
Step-by-step: Refrigerator Not Cooling→Runs constantly and the back or bottom grille is hot
Homeowner fixCondenser coils choked with dust and pet hair. The compressor can never reach its cut-out temperature, so it simply never stops.
Step-by-step: Refrigerator Running Constantly→Water pooling under the crisper drawers or ice on the freezer floor
Homeowner fixA blocked defrost drain — usually a plug of ice in the drain tube behind the rear freezer panel. Melt water backs up and finds the lowest point.
Step-by-step: Refrigerator Leaking Water→Thick frost building on the back wall of the freezer
TechnicianThe defrost heater, bimetal thermostat, or adaptive defrost control has quit, so the automatic defrost cycle never runs and the evaporator ices over.
12 published refrigerator guides. A diagnostic fee is $50–$120 before any work starts, so half an hour with a flashlight is worth spending.
Ask the technician to walk you through these while they are on site — every one of them prevents a fault in the list above.
Vacuum the condenser coils with a brush attachment
Every 6 months, every 3 with petsPrevents: The single most common no-cooling call, plus premature compressor wear.
Flush the defrost drain with warm water
Twice a yearPrevents: Water under the crispers and ice sheets on the freezer floor.
Dollar-bill test every door seal
Twice a yearPrevents: Constant running, frost build-up, and a compressor that never rests.

Every state with a listed refrigerator specialist, most first. Louisiana sits 13th of 50 on 16.
National ranges for parts and labor together, before the $50–$120 diagnostic. Labor tracks local wages and drive time, so metro Louisiana sits toward the top of each range and rural calls toward the bottom, while the part costs about the same anywhere. Nothing here is a quote.
| Repair | Parts + labor |
|---|---|
| Condenser coil clean and airflow checkOften folded into the diagnostic call. | $80–$150 |
| Compressor start relay or overloadPart is under $40 — the rest is the trip and diagnosis. | $150–$300 |
| Evaporator or condenser fan motorBottom-freezer access takes longer, so labor runs higher. | $180–$400 |
| Defrost heater, thermostat, or control boardBoard failures sit at the top of the range. | $200–$450 |
| Water inlet valve or ice maker moduleAsk for both to be tested — one failure masks the other. | $180–$400 |
| Door gasket replacementPriced per door; a French-door cabinet needs two. | $150–$350 |
13–15 years for a plain top-freezer or bottom-freezer cabinet. Side-by-side and French-door models with through-the-door ice and water land nearer 11–13, because the dispenser, the icemaker and the second door seal are all extra things to fail. When replacing beats repairing covers the 4 cases where the maths turns, in full.

A quote above $600 on a refrigerator past 9 years old is usually better spent on a replacement.
