Decatur packs about 25,000 people into roughly four square miles, and the variety of kitchens inside that small footprint is remarkable: Craftsman bungalows in Oakhurst and the MAK district, post-war brick houses, and condos within walking distance of the Square. Mr. Fixer Appliance Repair works in all of them from our Atlanta office at 2296 Henderson Mill Rd NE, a short drive up the road in DeKalb.
Bringing a technician out costs $80 for the diagnosis, and that fee is credited toward the repair. Standard-brand refrigerator repairs start from $180 plus parts, and you approve a written estimate before work begins. Same-day appointments are often available. For general information, our refrigerator repair page has more, and our Decatur page covers the other appliances we fix in town.

Old kitchens, new refrigerators
A large share of Decatur's housing went up before 1950; by census-based estimates, roughly one home in five dates from 1939 or earlier. Oakhurst's streets are lined with 1920s to 1940s bungalows, and the Winnona Park Historic District, listed on the National Register in 2002, has homes from the same period. Those kitchens were laid out for refrigerators far smaller than anything sold today.
When a modern 36-inch French-door model is squeezed into an opening designed for a narrower box, the side and top clearances disappear. The fridge can still work, but the condenser has to push heat out of a tight pocket, so compressor run times climb and parts wear sooner. It is one of the first things we look at in an older Decatur kitchen.
Many of these houses have also been rewired in stages. If a refrigerator stops working along with other things on the same wall, the circuit may be the culprit, and that is a job for an electrician rather than an appliance technician. We will tell you which one you need.
Common refrigerator problems we fix in Decatur
Running all the time, never quite cold
Dirty coils and too little clearance in a tight alcove are common here. Our guide to a fridge that isn't cooling lists safe checks you can make first.
Frost on the back wall of the freezer
A defrost heater, sensor or timer has failed, so ice builds on the evaporator and blocks airflow to the fresh-food side.
Puddle in front of the fridge
A frozen or clogged defrost drain, or a cracked water line to the ice maker. Older floors can tilt slightly, which sends the water forward where you see it.
Doors don't close on their own
The fridge may need leveling, especially on settled hardwood floors. Front legs set slightly higher help the doors swing shut and seal.
Loud humming or a hot smell
A struggling condenser fan or a compressor working too hard. Unplug the unit and call; never attempt sealed-system repair yourself.

Slava was very professional. He quickly diagnosed the problem with our refrigerator, ordered the necessary parts, and came back the next day to complete the repair. Great service.
Igor was excellent. Honest, trustworthy and professional. I will definitely call them again. Thanks for fixing our fridge!
My Samsung fridge was making this annoying buzzing sound for weeks. Oleg checked it out and found what was causing it. So much quieter now.
