One hot summer day in Glencoe… a family's fridge stopped cooling, leaving milk warm and food spoiling fast. They called DTSOL Appliance Repair & HVAC, and our tech was there in under an hour. We found a faulty condenser fan, replaced it, and by dinner their fridge was cold again. That's how we roll—fast, local, and friendly across Glencoe and the North Shore.
Professional refrigerator repair services to keep your food fresh and cold
Fixing thermostat issues, compressor problems, and refrigerant leaks to restore proper cooling.
Repairing ice makers, water valves, and ice dispensing systems for fresh, clean ice.
Fixing defrost drain clogs, cracked drain pans, and water line issues to prevent leaks.
Replacing worn or damaged door gaskets to maintain proper temperature and prevent air leaks.
Repairing or replacing compressors and condenser fans to restore cooling performance.
Cleaning evaporator and condenser coils to improve efficiency and prevent overheating.
Food spoils, ice melts too quick. That's often a sign of a bad thermostat or low refrigerant. In Evanston, we see this a lot when coils get clogged with pet hair.
A drip under the unit means a clogged defrost drain or cracked drain pan. One Oak Park hall fridge had a bird's nest of lint blocking its drain.
Humming, clicking, or rattling can point to a failing compressor, fan motor, or a loose part. In Skokie last spring we quieted a fridge by tightening a loose evaporator fan.
No ice, deformed cubes, or constant running water in the tray usually means a bad valve or heater. A Northbrook client told us their ice cubes looked like slush—fixed in 20 minutes.
We don't guess—every step tells us what part needs fixin'.
A faulty thermostat can't signal the fridge to cool. We swap in a new one and calibrate temps. I think replacing it every 5 years is worth it, even if it seems fine.
When the compressor fails, we replace or rewire it. Our vans stock common compressor units for South Loop clients.
Broken defrost heaters or timers get swapped out. Last winter in Lincoln Park, we replaced a timer frozen in the on position—no more ice block.
Leaky door seals let cold air escape. We cut and install new magnetic gaskets—food stays fresh again.
We remove back panels and use coil cleaner. In North Side condos, dusty floors choke coils fast.
Stuck water valves or broken motors in the ice maker get fixed in place—no more "ice machines" dribbling water.
A client's fridge cooled no more cake or ice cream just hours before a big birthday. We swapped a defrost thermostat, cleared ice, and saved the celebration.
A fridge in a South Loop loft dripped water all night. We found a cracked drain pan, replaced it, and no more puddles on hardwood floors.
