What the listings say about refrigerator repair in Texas

Counted from the 27 profiles above, not from a survey. Everything a business states about itself is reported as a claim.

Texas holds 27 listed refrigerator repair businesses, out of 676 nationwide. That is the largest count of the 50 states with any, ahead of Florida on 26. They are 27 of the 58 businesses listed in Texas — 47% of the state directory.

Their ratings average 4.6, level with the 4.6 average across all 676 listed nationwide, and 23 of the 27 sit at 4.5 or better. 2 hold a straight 5.0, and 1 sits below 4.0. Between them they carry 4,444 reviews, the largest single tally being 914 on Appliance Rescue Service in Addison. 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 Appliance Rescue Service in Addison (914 reviews, 4.9), ABA Appliance Repair, Inc. in Austin (589 reviews, 4.2) and Tony Appliance Repair in Austin (429 reviews, 4.7). By rating it is A & G Appliances at 5.0 on 306 reviews, West Fix Appliance Repair at 5.0 on 103 reviews and Appliance Rescue Service at 4.9 on 914 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 27 state that they are licensed, and all state that they carry insurance. On top of that, 11 show a Better Business Bureau accreditation, 1 states a factory-authorised or factory-trained credential and 8 publish a parts-and-labor warranty term in the profiles. 1 of the 27 advertises 24/7 emergency callout, and 3 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.

14 of the 27 publish a founding year: the longest-established has been trading since 1987, and the median across those that say is 14 years. Austin holds the most at 7 — 26% of the group — followed by Houston on 6, across 7 Texas cities with an index page. Between them they name 85 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.

What Texas technicians find most often

The 5 most common refrigerator faults, and whether each is homeowner work or a job for a licensed technician.

All 8 faults →

  • Fridge side is warm but the freezer is still cold

    Technician

    The 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

    Technician

    A 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 fix

    Condenser 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 fix

    A 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

    Technician

    The defrost heater, bimetal thermostat, or adaptive defrost control has quit, so the automatic defrost cycle never runs and the evaporator ices over.

Try these before you book a Texas technician

12 published refrigerator guides. A diagnostic fee is $50–$120 before any work starts, so half an hour with a flashlight is worth spending.

Keep the next call from happening

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 pets

    Prevents: The single most common no-cooling call, plus premature compressor wear.

  • Flush the defrost drain with warm water

    Twice a year

    Prevents: Water under the crispers and ice sheets on the freezer floor.

  • Dollar-bill test every door seal

    Twice a year

    Prevents: Constant running, frost build-up, and a compressor that never rests.

What refrigerator repair costs in Texas

National ranges for parts and labor together, before the $50–$120 diagnostic. Labor tracks local wages and drive time, so metro Texas 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.

Full cost breakdown →
Typical refrigerator repair jobs with national cost ranges.
RepairParts + 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.

Refrigerator repair in Texas — common questions

How many refrigerator repair pros are listed in Texas?
27 businesses listed in Texas name refrigerator repair among the work they do — 47% of the 58 businesses this directory holds for the state, 1st of the 50 states with any, out of 676 listed nationwide — 4% of them. Austin accounts for 7 of them. The directory is a sample of the market, not a register of every company trading in Texas.
Which refrigerator repair companies are rated highest in Texas?
A & G Appliances in Houston at 5.0 on 306 reviews, West Fix Appliance Repair in Dallas at 5.0 on 103 reviews, Appliance Rescue Service in Addison at 4.9 on 914 reviews — that is the order the list on this page uses. The most-reviewed is different: Appliance Rescue Service in Addison, with 914 reviews at 4.9. Read both — a 5.0 on nine reviews and a 4.6 on four hundred are not the same claim.
How much does refrigerator repair cost in Texas?
Expect $200–$400 for a common refrigerator repair, parts and labor together, on top of a $50–$120 diagnostic fee that most companies credit against the work if you go ahead. Those are national bands, not Texas quotes: labor rates track local wages and drive time, so a dense metro sits at the top of each range and a rural call at the bottom, while the part itself costs about the same anywhere. Get written estimates from two or three of the 27 listed here before authorizing anything.
Which Texas city has the most refrigerator repair companies?
Austin, with 7 of the 27 — 26% of the group — followed by Houston on 6. 7 Texas cities in total have at least one.
Are refrigerator repair technicians licensed in Texas?
All 27 listed here state that they are licensed, and all state that they carry insurance. 11 also show a Better Business Bureau accreditation. Licensing for appliance repair is set state by state and sometimes by city or county, so the reliable check is the paperwork: ask which license the company works under, get the number, and confirm it with the issuing authority. Two requirements are national rather than local — sealed refrigerant work needs federal EPA Section 608 certification, and gas work needs a technician qualified for gas appliances.
Can I get same-day or emergency refrigerator repair in Texas?
1 of the 27 listed here advertises 24/7 emergency availability and carries a badge in the ranked list above. A further 3 advertise same-day service. Many of the others take same-day work for common faults without advertising it, so it is worth asking — especially early in the day, before the route is full.
Which refrigerator brands do Texas repair pros service?
The refrigerator pros listed in Texas name 28 distinct brands between them. The most widely covered are GE (27), Samsung (27), Whirlpool (27), Frigidaire (26), KitchenAid (26), LG (26). Brand matters more here than on any other appliance. Built-in Sub-Zero, Viking and Thermador cabinets use sealed systems and control boards that need model-specific training and parts, and many technicians decline them. Confirm the brand on the phone before booking.
How long have Texas refrigerator repair companies been in business?
14 of the 27 publish one. The longest-established has been trading since 1987, and the median across those that say is 14 years. 8 publish a parts-and-labor warranty term in the listing. Use it as one signal among several: what matters more is whether the technician has opened your platform before, and whether the warranty term is written on the invoice.
Should I repair or replace my refrigerator?
Apply the 50% rule. A new refrigerator averages $1,200 in the US and lasts about 14 years, so a repair quote over roughly $600 on a unit past 9 years old is usually money better spent on a replacement. Below that line, with life left on the clock, repair almost always wins. Ask for parts and labor as separate figures — it is normally the part, not the hours, that pushes a quote past the threshold.
What should I have ready before calling a refrigerator technician in Texas?
Model and serial number — the tag is inside the fresh-food compartment, usually on the left wall or behind a crisper. Whether the freezer still freezes. This one answer separates an airflow fault from a sealed-system fault. Any error code shown on the dispenser or control panel. Having those three answers ready is what turns a diagnose-then-return-visit into a single trip. Worth knowing before you call: 5 of the 27 listed in Texas also offer cooktop repair and 3 offer appliance installation, which can be worth bundling into the same visit.
