Refrigerator repair in Matthews, in houses, townhomes and apartments
Matthews has more apartments than most of the towns around it: about 31% of its homes are in buildings with five or more units. The rest are mostly houses, many of them built in the 1980s and 1990s. Both shape what a refrigerator repair looks like here.
We repair refrigerators all over Matthews, from the streets near downtown and the Four Mile Creek Greenway to the neighborhoods off US 74.
Houses from the 1980s and 1990s
Matthews's median home was built in 1994. Many of those kitchens still have their original layout, with a refrigerator opening framed by cabinets. A fridge that is pushed back tight against the wall in a framed opening can run warm on hot days, because the coils cannot shed heat.
If your fridge is older and the opening is tight, a repair is often the practical choice, because a new model may not fit the space.
Apartment refrigerators
Apartment complexes in Matthews usually have top-freezer or side-by-side refrigerators supplied by the property. If you rent, the owner or property manager often handles the repair. Tell them the symptoms: warm fridge, frost in the freezer, water on the floor, or a new noise.
Water lines and dispensers
Many Matthews homes have had their refrigerator replaced with a model that has an ice maker or water dispenser. If the water line was added later, it may run behind cabinets or through the floor, and a slow leak there can go unnoticed until the floor softens.
Refrigerator repair in Matthews: questions
My fridge is in a tight cabinet opening. Is that causing problems?
It can. A refrigerator needs some space for air to move across its coils. We check the clearance and the coils on every visit, not only the part that failed.
I rent an apartment in Matthews. Who should call?
You can, but check your lease first. The owner is often responsible for appliance repairs and may want to approve the work. Landlords and property managers can book with us directly.
Do you cover the Union County side of Matthews?
Yes. Both Matthews ZIP codes cross into Union County, and we cover all of them, plus Stallings and Mint Hill.
