Refrigerator Repair in Buffalo Grove

Refrigerator Repair in Buffalo Grove, IL

One Grocery Day in Buffalo Grove… It was noon on a chilly November afternoon near Division Street, and a homeowner's refrigerator was beeping—food was too warm. They live off Buffalo Grove Road, near Community Park. They called DTSOL Appliance Repair & HVAC, and we arrived in under 20 minutes from our Skokie shop. We tested the compressor relay, cleaned the condenser coils, and defrosted iced-over coils. By dinner time, the fridge held a crisp 38°F again. That's refrigerator repair in Buffalo Grove—fast, friendly, and local.

Just this morning I realized my front-loading refrigerator in Evanston had stopped cooling mid-cycle—loads of spoiled food piling up fast. A quick call to DTSOL Appliance Repair & HVAC and their tech was at my door within a couple of hours. He pinpointed a worn idler pulley, swapped in a new one on the spot, and ran a full spin-test to confirm smooth operation. From start to finish, it took less than two hours, and now my refrigerator works like new. Exceptional skill and efficiency—DTSOL earns my highest recommendation!

I never thought I'd resort to power tools on my food day, but DTSOL Appliance Repair & HVAC made it happen. My Park Ridge Whirlpool was shaking like crazy—so their tech replaced all four shock absorbers, got the cabinet perfectly level, and even drilled tiny drainage holes in the base to prevent water pooling and future imbalance. Now it spins smooth and whisper-quiet. Totally blown away by their ingenuity and speed—no new refrigerator needed!
