About This Service

The sealed system is the heart of your refrigerator, responsible for circulating refrigerant and keeping your food cold. It consists of the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and connecting tubing. When a component fails or a refrigerant leak develops, your refrigerator will struggle to maintain temperature, leading to food spoilage and costly repairs. Altair Home Solutions specializes in diagnosing and repairing sealed system problems. Our EPA 608 certified technicians have the expertise to pinpoint leaks, repair brazed joints, replace compressors, and properly recharge the system with refrigerant. We use only genuine OEM parts and follow strict EPA guidelines to ensure safe and reliable repairs. Many appliance repair companies will automatically recommend refrigerator replacement when sealed system issues arise. However, we offer cost-effective repair solutions, saving you money and extending the life of your appliance. We are an LG factory-authorized service provider, with particular expertise in LG linear compressor repairs. With 10-year warranties available on many LG compressor parts, repair is frequently more economical than replacement.

If you suspect a sealed system problem, don't hesitate to call us for a professional diagnosis and upfront pricing.

Common Problems We Fix

Refrigerator Not Cooling

The most common symptom of a sealed system problem. The refrigerator may run constantly but fail to reach the set temperature.

Compressor Failure

A faulty compressor can cause the refrigerator to stop cooling altogether. Symptoms include unusual noises or the compressor not running at all.

Refrigerant Leak

Leaks can occur in the evaporator, condenser, or connecting lines. Signs include a hissing sound, frost buildup, or a sweet, oily smell.

Evaporator Coil Frost Buildup

Excessive frost on the evaporator coil can restrict airflow and reduce cooling efficiency. This is often caused by a leak or a faulty defrost system.

Condenser Fan Malfunction

A malfunctioning condenser fan can prevent proper heat dissipation, leading to compressor overheating and reduced cooling performance.

LG Linear Compressor Issues

Specific error codes (often F or E codes) or inconsistent cooling in LG refrigerators may indicate a problem with the linear compressor.
