Error codes can help identify the problem before a technician arrives.
Modern refrigerators often display error codes when something’s gone wrong—but deciphering them can feel like reading a foreign language. Here are a few codes you might see:
E FF (Samsung): Freezer fan error—usually a fan motor or sensor issue.
SY EF (Frigidaire): Evaporator fan failure—often due to ice buildup or wiring problems.
Er IF (LG): Ice fan motor error—affects cooling in the ice maker compartment.
CE (General Electric): Communication error between the main control board and dispenser.
If you see an error code, write it down and don’t unplug the fridge until a technician can inspect it—this helps with diagnostics during your refrigerator repair Burnaby service call.
Each brand hides them in a slightly different spot—but we’ve got you covered.
Knowing your refrigerator’s model and serial number helps ensure we bring the right parts and tools to your service call. Here’s where to look, based on the most popular brands we see for refrigerator repair Burnaby:
Whirlpool / Maytag / KitchenAid
Look on the inside wall of the fridge compartment, typically on the left-hand side near the crisper drawers.
Some models also have the label near the door frame or behind the kickplate.
LG
You’ll usually find the tag on the left wall inside the fridge, or occasionally on the ceiling of the fresh food compartment.
For side-by-sides, check behind the right-hand vegetable bin.
Samsung
Check the left interior wall near the crisper drawer or upper shelf.
It may also be on the inside edge of the freezer door for French door models.
GE / GE Profile
Typically located on the fresh food compartment’s side wall or near the ceiling.
For older models, it might be on the floor of the fridge behind the bottom drawer.
Frigidaire / Electrolux
Look inside the refrigerator section, on the side wall near the door.
On some models, the label is tucked under the kickplate or behind the freezer drawer.
Sub-Zero / Viking / High-End Built-Ins
Often hidden on the ceiling of the refrigerator or on the interior wall near the hinge side.
Sub-Zero models may have it just inside the top grille, above the doors.
A little care goes a long way in avoiding breakdowns.
Simple monthly or seasonal maintenance can keep your fridge running smoothly and help avoid costly repairs:
Clean the condenser coils every 6 months (more often if you have pets).
Check door seals for wear or gaps and wipe them down to maintain suction.
Avoid overfilling the fridge or freezer—air needs to circulate to cool evenly.
Set proper temps: 37°F for the fridge, 0°F for the freezer.
Replace water filters every 6 months if your fridge has a dispenser or ice maker.
Following these steps can reduce stress on the system and help prolong the life of your refrigerator.
Refrigerator Repair Burnaby help
No two refrigerators fail the same way—but over the years, we’ve seen a few issues come up time and time again.
Our technicians bring years of hands-on experience to every job, offering thorough diagnostics and dependable solutions for your refrigerator repair Burnaby needs.
Below, we’ve outlined some of the most common refrigerator problems we see and how we resolve them.
Common Causes:
Dirty condenser coils
Failing evaporator fan motor
Faulty thermostat or control board
How We Fix It:
We begin by checking airflow and testing internal temperatures to confirm the issue. Next, we inspect the evaporator fan, thermostat, and control board for electrical continuity. Dirty coils are cleaned thoroughly, and if parts like the fan motor or sensor are faulty, we replace them on-site. Our refrigerator repair Burnaby techs come prepared with commonly needed parts to avoid return visits whenever possible.
Common Causes:
Frozen water line
Defective water inlet valve
Faulty ice maker module
How We Fix It:
First, we verify water pressure and check for clogs or kinks in the line. We then test the inlet valve and ice maker motor module for power and function. If a blockage is found, we clear it safely without damaging the system. For broken components, we install replacements that match your model, ensuring reliable ice production moving forward.
Common Causes:
Clogged defrost drain
Cracked or loose water supply line
Faulty drain pan
How We Fix It:
We start with a visual inspection to identify where the water is pooling. From there, we check the defrost drain for blockages, ensure the drain pan is intact, and examine the water line for cracks or loose connections. After clearing the drain and sealing any leaks, we run a test cycle to confirm everything’s watertight before wrapping up your refrigerator repair Burnaby job.
Common Causes:
Dirty condenser coils
Worn door gaskets
Malfunctioning defrost timer
How We Fix It:
We inspect the condenser coils and clean them if needed to reduce system strain. The technician then checks the door seals for air leaks and tests the defrost timer and thermostat for faults. Replacing a worn gasket or defrost control can make a huge difference in energy use and overall performance.
