Reston notes
Reston refrigerators, old kitchens and new
Reston was launched in 1964, and its housing covers every decade since: the clustered townhouses around Lake Anne, single-family neighborhoods and townhouse clusters from the 1970s and 80s, and the condo and apartment towers near the Silver Line stations. The kitchens follow suit. Some refrigerators sit in openings sized decades ago, and a new French-door model is often a tight fit.
Two requests shown below came from nearby: a Frigidaire in Fairfax that leaked from the water dispenser after every use, and a Thermador in McLean with a rattling fan. A leak that appears only after using the dispenser usually starts in the door, at a dispenser valve or a cracked line. A rattle is most often a fan blade catching on ice or a fan motor wearing out.
Reston's water comes from Fairfax Water, whose 2025 report shows hardness between 51 and 185 mg/L depending on the plant and the season. That's enough to scale an ice-maker valve over a few years. The fridge filter won't stop that, but a fresh one keeps sediment from slowing the flow.
If a fridge in a cluster townhouse stops cooling, check that nothing blocks the toe grille and that the condenser coils underneath aren't matted with dust.

Frequently asked questions
Refrigerator Repair in Reston, VA FAQ
Can someone come fix my fridge today in Reston?
We're based in Alexandria, about 20 miles from Reston. Same-day and next-day appointments are available when the technician route has open windows; call or book online for the earliest option. Appointments cost the same on weekdays, evenings and weekends - our hours run 8 AM to 10 PM Monday through Saturday and 10 AM to 10 PM on Sunday, all at one standard rate.
Many refrigerator repairs are completed in a single visit once the technician has diagnosed the fault and confirmed the parts on hand. If a specific part has to be ordered, we schedule a short return visit to finish the job.
How much does it cost to fix a fridge in Reston?
It depends on which system failed: a relay, fan or thermostat sits at the affordable end, while sealed-system work costs more. Every Reston, VA visit starts with diagnosis and a firm quote before any repair - and same-day appointments are often available when food is at risk. The diagnostic visit is $75 for a single appliance or $115 for a double unit (such as a double wall oven, washer-dryer combo or stacked laundry), and the fee is credited toward the repair if you approve the quote. 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. Typical price ranges by appliance are in our appliance repair cost guide.
What fridge problems do you fix in Reston?
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.
My refrigerator leaks only after I use the dispenser. What's wrong?
The water is probably escaping inside the door. A dispenser valve that doesn't close fully, or a cracked tube in the door, are the usual causes. The Frigidaire request we list from Fairfax had exactly this. Turn off the water supply to the fridge until it's checked.
My fridge makes a rattling noise from the back. Is it serious?
Usually it's a fan. The evaporator fan inside can catch on ice, and the condenser fan near the compressor wears with age. Neither is serious if it's caught early, but a fan that stops entirely leads to cooling problems.
Should I try to fix the fridge myself first?
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.
