Fairfax Station is mostly houses on larger lots, many of them built from the 1980s on in neighborhoods like Crosspointe, South Run and Hampton Forest. A lot of those houses keep a second refrigerator or a freezer in the garage. Most refrigerators are designed for indoor temperatures, so a garage that hits the 90s in July or drops toward freezing in January makes them behave oddly. A garage fridge whose freezer thaws during a cold snap is often doing what it was built to do, just in the wrong room.
Water supply is the other thing to know. If your house runs on a private well, common on larger lots out here, sediment and iron can clog the screen in the fridge's water inlet valve and shorten the life of the filter. On a well, a slow ice maker is often a screen problem before it's an ice-maker problem. Houses on public water get it from Fairfax Water, whose 2025 report shows hardness from 51 to 185 mg/L across its two plants.
Two requests listed here show common faults. One was a Samsung leaking inside the fresh-food section under the bottom drawer, possibly from a cracked filter housing. Water under the drawers usually means a clogged defrost drain or a cracked housing. The other was a Kenmore that stopped cooling overnight, which points to the evaporator fan, the defrost system, the start relay or the condenser fan.
If yours stopped cooling, check that the condenser fan underneath is spinning and the coils aren't matted with dust. Then call.

Labor starts at $200 and stays there on about 9 in 10 repairs; more complex jobs can reach $450. Parts are extra and listed in the quote. The part decides the rest: a relay, fan or thermostat sits at the affordable end, while sealed-system work costs more.

Typical price ranges by appliance are in our appliance repair cost guide.
Common calls include not cooling, freezing food, ice maker not working, water leaking, loud compressor or fan noise and frost buildup. The exact cause is confirmed during diagnosis.
Often it's sediment. Well water can carry sand, iron and minerals that clog the screen in the water inlet valve and wear out filters early. Change the filter first. If the flow is still weak, the valve screen or the valve itself needs attention. A whole-house sediment filter helps if you don't have one.
We repair garage refrigerators too. They work harder in summer heat, and in a cold garage some models stop running long enough that the freezer thaws. We'll check whether the unit has a real fault or is reacting to the garage temperature. Some models have a garage kit or setting for exactly this.
A few basics are safe: confirm the unit has power, make sure the doors close and seal fully, and clean the condenser coils if they are dusty. Beyond that, refrigerant lines and electrical components are best left to a technician - probing inside can turn a small repair into a larger one.
