1-888-298-3714Common refrigerator problems we fix in Fort Lewis
- a refrigerator that won’t cool while the freezer stays cold

- frost buildup in the freezer compartment
- a warm spot caused by failing door seals
Why refrigerators fail in Fort Lewis
A refrigerator dumps its heat into the room, so the hotter the kitchen the longer the compressor runs. Fort Lewis peaks around 76°F in July with 0 months averaging 80°F or above (NOAA 1991–2020, Tacoma Narrows Airport station 12 mi away). That is a gentle load by national standards, so outright compressor failures are comparatively rare here — most Fort Lewis refrigerator calls come down to ice makers, defrost systems and control boards rather than heat stress.
Local tip: Run a hot washer-cleaning cycle monthly — the persistent regional damp makes mildew buildup faster than average.
All major brands serviced in Fort Lewis, including Whirlpool, Samsung, LG, GE, Maytag, Frigidaire, KitchenAid, Bosch, Kenmore, and Amana — covering refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, stoves, ranges, and freezers.

What Fort Lewis's climate does to appliances
Fort Lewis averages a July high near 76°F and a January low around 36°F (NOAA 1991–2020 normals, Tacoma Narrows Airport station, 12 mi away). No month here averages above 80°F, so refrigerators run comparatively easy cycles year-round; laundry and kitchen appliances drive more of the repair volume than cooling does. With 3 cool months (highs at or below 50°F), dryer use climbs noticeably in winter.

Fort Lewis homes and the appliances in them
About 18.1% of Fort Lewis homes predate 1960 (US Census ACS 5-year), so a meaningful share of calls involve older kitchens and laundry rooms — dated outlets, narrower appliance openings and aging shutoff valves are common enough to plan for. Only 14% of units here are single-family detached, so a large share of our Fort Lewis work is apartments and condos: stacked washer-dryers, compact and under-counter units, and jobs that need building access arranged in advance.

Is it safe to keep a refrigerator or freezer in my garage in Fort Lewis?

Do you repair appliances in apartments and condos in Fort Lewis?
Yes — apartments, condos, rentals and single-family homes alike. Fort Lewis is comparatively spread out at roughly 504 people per square mile, so most calls are detached homes with full-size appliances, but stacked and compact units are no problem.
Are older homes in Fort Lewis harder to fit modern appliances into?
Sometimes. Roughly 18.1% of Fort Lewis homes predate 1960 (US Census ACS), and in those the appliance opening and the circuit are worth measuring before you buy a replacement — modern units are often deeper than what the space was built for.
I rent in Fort Lewis — can I book an appliance repair myself?
You can, though check your lease first. Only about 1.8% of occupied homes in Fort Lewis are owner-occupied (US Census ACS), so we take a lot of calls from renters and property managers.
