Counted from the 11 profiles above, not from a survey. Everything a business states about itself is reported as a claim.
Mississippi holds 11 listed refrigerator repair businesses, out of 676 nationwide. That ranks 33rd of the 50 states with any, behind Wisconsin on 13 and Texas on 27. Every business listed in Mississippi covers it, so this page and the Mississippi directory hold the same 11 businesses.
Their ratings average 4.4, against 4.6 across all 676 listed nationwide, and 8 of the 11 sit at 4.5 or better. None holds a straight 5.0, and 1 sits below 4.0. Between them they carry 375 reviews, the largest single tally being 98 on Brown's Appliance Guys LLC in Pearl. 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 Brown's Appliance Guys LLC in Pearl (98 reviews, 4.5), Jay's Appliance Repair LLC in Gulfport (87 reviews, 4.4) and Alvin's Repair Service, Inc. in Jackson (65 reviews, 3.2). By rating it is Brown's Appliance Guys LLC at 4.5 on 98 reviews, McKinney Appliance & Satellite Services at 4.5 on 20 reviews and Varner Service Company at 4.5 on 20 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 11 state that they are licensed, and all state that they carry insurance. On top of that, 9 show a Better Business Bureau accreditation in the profiles. 1 of the 11 advertises 24/7 emergency callout. 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.
5 of the 11 publish a founding year: the longest-established has been trading since 1989, and the median across those that say is 31 years. Jackson holds the most at 4 — 36% of the group — followed by Gulfport on 2, across 7 Mississippi cities with an index page. Between them they name 32 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.

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. Mississippi sits 33rd of 50 on 11.
National ranges for parts and labor together, before the $50–$120 diagnostic. Labor tracks local wages and drive time, so metro Mississippi 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.
