A Vienna request shown below was a Kenmore that stopped cooling overnight. A sudden failure like that, rather than a slow decline, narrows the list: a start relay or compressor that won't start, a condenser fan that has stopped, or an evaporator fan that has quit. Listen to it. A click every few minutes with no hum often points to the start relay.
Many Vienna houses keep a second fridge in the garage for drinks and overflow. Garages here get hot in summer and cold in winter, and a refrigerator that isn't built for that can stop keeping its freezer cold in a cold snap without anything being broken.
The Town of Vienna runs its own water utility, distributing Potomac and Occoquan water supplied through Fairfax Water and the Army Corps of Engineers, while some homes with Vienna addresses are on Fairfax Water directly. Either way it ranges from moderately hard to hard, which slowly scales the ice maker's inlet valve.
If yours stopped cooling, move the food to a cooler, keep the doors shut and pull the fridge out to see whether the condenser fan underneath is turning.

Online refrigerator repair requests from Vienna have been for not cooling. 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.
A sudden stop usually comes down to a short list: the start relay, the compressor itself, or the condenser or evaporator fan. A clicking sound every few minutes points to the relay. The Vienna Kenmore request we list had this complaint.
Somewhat. Like most water in the area it's hard enough to slowly scale the inlet valve and fill tube. If the ice comes out small or the dispenser slows, check that the filter isn't overdue, then have the valve tested.
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.
