Refrigerator Repair Conyers GA
Refrigerator repair in Conyers, GA has a median cost of $420 once a part is replaced, and $310 across every completed visit. Those come from 163 refrigerator jobs we have run inside Conyers for 146 households, 121 of which closed as paid work.
The refrigerator is the one appliance in this city that breaks out of an otherwise flat price list: its middle half with a part runs from $323 to $562 while the whole city’s runs $285 to $444, and 26 of those 121 paid jobs closed above $500. On the other side of the same coin, 80 of those 121 paid visits, two in three, finished with a part fitted and the machine cooling again.
Which of those two a Conyers refrigerator call turns out to be depends less on the symptom than on the badge on the door, and we have enough local work here to show you why.
Refrigerator Repair in Conyers, GA
Not cooling, fresh food warm with a working freezer, water under the drawers, ice sheet in the bottom of the freezer, ice maker dead, compressor clicking. All three Conyers ZIP codes, total confirmed before the work starts.
What a Refrigerator Repair Costs, by the Part That Failed
The city median tells you where Conyers sits. It cannot tell you why one household here paid $240 and another $1,365 after describing the same thing on the phone, and that is the question you actually have.
The answer is the component, so the table below is built from 4,182 completed refrigerator and freezer jobs across our whole service area, because 76 local jobs with a part cannot honestly price eight separate components. Every figure is the full ticket: the part, the labor and the service call added together.
| What failed | Median total | Middle half | Jobs (n) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thermostat or temperature sensor | $386 | $340 to $470 | 65 |
| Start relay or overload | $389 | $335 to $460 | 24 |
| Defrost heater or defrost timer | $395 | $350 to $530 | 58 |
| Water inlet valve | $401 | $345 to $510 | 54 |
| Evaporator or condenser fan motor | $422 | $365 to $510 | 130 |
| Door gasket or seal | $484 | $375 to $710 | 49 |
| Control board | $564 | $430 to $700 | 78 |
| Compressor replacement | $956 | $670 to $1,330 | 80 |
Read the table as two groups rather than eight rows. Seven repairs live between $386 and $564, where the bill is mostly the visit and one to two hours of a technician’s time and the part itself barely moves it. Then the compressor sits alone at $956, two and a half times the thermostat.
Our Conyers invoices track that shape closely: a Kenmore compressor replacement at $1,365 and a Samsung at $868 at the top, then boards at $854, $640 and $610, then the fan and defrost work between $240 and $588.
The Conyers city hub shows the same thing from the other side: five of the six appliances in this city sit inside a $100 band, and the refrigerator is the only one that does not.
Why Conyers Refrigerators Fail the Way They Do
The drain and the defrost system are where the money goes 11 OF 76
Eleven of the 76 Conyers refrigerator jobs where we replaced or cleared something were defrost, drain line or evaporator work, at a median of $386, and that family holds four of the six most expensive non-compressor invoices in the city: a drain line cleaning with evaporator defrosting on a Frigidaire at $677, a Samsung drain line cleaning at $664, a KitchenAid evaporator fan at $588 and a Samsung evaporator fan assembly at $569 where the note reads “defrost required”.
People see “drain line cleaning” on a quote and expect a token charge, so it is worth saying plainly what that job is. On a bottom-freezer or French-door refrigerator the defrost water runs down a narrow tube behind the rear panel to a tray above the compressor.
When that tube ices over, the water backs up, freezes into a sheet under the bottom drawer and then leaks onto the kitchen floor. Clearing it properly means emptying the unit, pulling the rear evaporator panel and thawing the coil, which is hours rather than minutes, and if the fan blade was frozen into that ice it usually needs replacing too.
Doing it in half measures is why some people have the same “leak” three winters in a row.
Samsung leads here, and a Samsung call is rarely a false alarm 4 OF 23
Samsung is the most common refrigerator brand in Conyers and not narrowly: 29 tagged jobs against Frigidaire 12, Whirlpool 12, GE 11, then KitchenAid and LG at 4 each. It is also the brand least likely to waste your diagnostic fee.
Of 23 paid Samsung refrigerator visits here, only 4 ended with no part to fit, and the 18 that needed a part ran a median of $416 with the largest at $868 for a compressor.
The faults are consistent with the design: the ice maker in the door, the drain behind the evaporator, the inverter board. Our Conyers Samsung record includes an ice maker replacement at $815, that $664 drain line, the $569 fan assembly and a $240 job that took the evaporator fan, the filter housing and the filter together.
The practical point: if a Samsung French-door refrigerator in this city is misbehaving, it usually is broken, and background on the most common complaint of all is in Samsung refrigerator ice maker problems.
The GE pattern runs the other way: check when you book 6 OF 8
Our GE refrigerator record in Conyers is small but it points hard in one direction: of 8 paid GE visits, 2 ended with a part fitted. Eight jobs is a thin sample and we are showing it to you rather than dressing it up as a rule, but it matches what a technician expects from these machines.
GE refrigerators of the last fifteen years throw temperature complaints that turn out to be a door left ajar, a stuck damper, a bumped setting or a condenser coil furred over with dust, and their electronics tend to announce themselves clearly when they really have failed rather than drift.
So if you have a GE and the fresh food side is a few degrees warm, the four checks below are worth ten minutes when you book, and if it is a Samsung with a sheet of ice under the drawer, they are not going to save you.
That is not us steering you, it is what 121 paid visits in this city look like when you sort them by badge.
When we say compressor, most people buy a refrigerator 7 OF 11
Eleven of our Conyers invoices name a compressor. Four were replacements: $1,365 on a Kenmore, $1,280, $868 on a Samsung and $355 on a compressor assembly. The other seven ended with the fault written down and no repair done.
That is the sealed-system conversation as it actually plays out here, and it is not us failing to sell: company-wide, a compressor quote splits close to even, and on a twelve-year-old standard refrigerator that is usually the right call and we say so before the quote lands.
What we will not do is condemn a compressor without testing the cheap thing that imitates it. A start relay at $389 produces exactly the same symptom as a dead compressor at $956, a silent cabinet that clicks every few minutes, and the difference is a meter on the windings.
If yours has gone quiet, read signs of a bad refrigerator compressor, and if it is an LG with a linear compressor, the LG linear compressor write-up.
One lake, no wells, and a filter that keeps its own schedule RANDY POYNTER
Rockdale Water Resources is the sole water supplier in the county and the supply is entirely surface water, drawn from Randy Poynter Lake and the Big Haynes and Little Haynes creeks that feed it. Unlike Fayette County, where half the houses are on wells and two neighbours can scale a valve at different speeds, every refrigerator in Conyers is fed water of the same character.
The catch is that surface water shifts with the season and the rainfall, so the filter does not clog on a tidy six-month cycle: it clogs when the water changes. A refrigerator meets that water in three places, the filter, the inlet valve at $401 and the ice maker, and a slow dispenser with shrinking cubes is a filter question before it is a repair question.
There was also a boil water advisory in the county from 4 to 7 August 2026 for the area north of I-20; an ice maker boils nothing, so during any advisory it should be switched off and the bin emptied. Filter guidance is on refrigerator water filter replacement.
Two grids, one tornado, and the board that pays for it $610 TO $854
A refrigerator is the only appliance in the house drawing power twenty-four hours a day, so it is the one that is always connected when a surge arrives or when power comes back with a jolt.
Conyers is served by either Georgia Power or Snapping Shoals EMC depending on the address, which means neighbouring blocks can lose and regain power at different moments, and it has a hard recent example: an EF-2 tornado with maximum winds of 115 mph touched down southwest of the city late on 2 April 2024 and tracked north of Olde Town, damaging at least 30 houses and leaving more than 2,300 Georgia Power customers in Rockdale without power the next morning.
Our Conyers refrigerator invoices carry the electronic aftermath of nights like that: a control board replacement at $854, a Frigidaire main control board at $610 and another board at $640, against a company-wide median of $564. A whole-house surge protector costs less than any one of them. More in control board and smart appliance repair.
🚚 Refrigerator calls go to the front of the schedule because food loss is on a clock. 66 Conyers refrigerator jobs in the last twelve months means the van is on the I-20 corridor most days, and same-day is realistic if you call before noon.
Match Your Symptom to the Likely Cause
- Fresh food section warm, freezer still freezing — cold air is made in the freezer and moved by the evaporator fan, so a dead fan or a coil iced over by a failed defrost heater leaves the freezer working while the fridge climbs. $395 to $422 company-wide; our Conyers fan and defrost jobs ran $240 to $588 because several needed the coil thawed first. Walkthrough in refrigerator not cooling.
- Water on the kitchen floor, or a sheet of ice under the bottom drawer — the blocked defrost drain, the most distinctive repair in this city: $289 to $677 on Conyers invoices depending on how much had to come apart and be thawed. Say this symptom out loud when you book.
- Nothing cold anywhere, cabinet silent or clicking every few minutes — a start relay and overload at $389, or the compressor at $956. The click-and-silence is the relay trying and failing; only a meter tells you which. See signs of a bad compressor.
- Cooling fading over weeks with the compressor running constantly — a refrigerant leak, which on one Conyers job ran $710, or a compressor losing efficiency. This is the sealed-system conversation and we have it against the age of the machine, honestly.
- Dead after a storm, lights on but no cooling — the main control board, $564 company-wide and $610 to $854 on Conyers jobs. The board is tested before anything is condemned, because a board fault and a compressor fault look identical from the kitchen.
- Ice maker empty, slow, or making hollow cubes — the filter first, then the inlet valve at $401 or the ice maker module. In this city the whole assembly is often the answer: our local invoices include a Samsung ice maker replacement at $815. Also ice maker not making ice and the Conyers ice maker and freezer page.
- Frost sheet on the freezer back wall, or louder than it used to be — defrost heater, thermostat or timer, a gasket admitting humid air, our KitchenAid freezer door gasket ran $536, or a condenser fan and dirty coils on the noise side. See freezer frost buildup and what appliance noises mean.
The Three Conyers ZIP Codes Are Not the Same Refrigerator Market
We cover 30012, 30013 and 30094 at one price list, but the work is not evenly spread and neither is the bill. 30094 on the south and southwest side gives us the most refrigerator work, 72 jobs, and the widest range: a with-a-part median of $405 but a middle half stretching from $320 to $610. 30013 toward the Newton County line accounts for 58 jobs at a $420 median.
30012 on the west and north side gives us the fewest, 33, and the highest median, $446, with a middle half of $323 to $520.
We are not going to invent a story to explain a $41 difference across samples of 17 to 34 jobs, and you should distrust anyone who does; what the numbers do support is the plain version, which is that no part of Conyers is a cheap or an expensive place to have a refrigerator repaired, and the diagnosis decides the bill rather than the postcode.
Repair or Replace, on the Conyers Numbers
Set the local with-a-part median, $420, against a comparable new refrigerator plus delivery, haul-away and installation, and repair wins on anything under about eight years old without much argument.
Fifty of the 76 Conyers jobs where we replaced a part came in under $500, and that is the ordinary case: a fan, a defrost heater, a drain, a valve, on a machine with most of its life in front of it.
The decision lives above that line. Twenty-six of 121 paid jobs closed over $500 and the top of the record is sealed-system work, so the honest framing is the one our own invoices give: when the diagnosis is a compressor, seven of our eleven Conyers customers stopped at the diagnostic and bought a new refrigerator, and past twelve years on a standard unit we usually agree with them.
The exception is a built-in or a counter-depth unit, where a replacement means a cabinet fitter as well as a delivery and a $900 repair still beats it. Work through your own numbers with the repair versus replacement guide, the approval data on appliance repair approval rate, and the service-life tables in how long refrigerators last.

Refrigerator Repair in Conyers — Questions We Get
How much does refrigerator repair cost in Conyers, GA?
The median is $420 once a part is replaced, and $310 across all completed visits, from 121 paid refrigerator jobs inside Conyers. The middle half of with-a-part jobs runs $323 to $562, and 26 of the 121 closed above $500.
By component, company-wide and including the part, the labor and the service call: thermostat or sensor $386, start relay $389, defrost heater $395, water inlet valve $401, evaporator or condenser fan $422, door gasket $484, control board $564, compressor replacement $956.
There is a sheet of ice under my bottom drawer and water on the floor. What is that?
A blocked defrost drain, and it is the most distinctive refrigerator repair in Conyers. On a bottom-freezer or French-door unit the defrost water runs down a narrow tube behind the rear panel to a tray above the compressor; when the tube ices over the water backs up, freezes under the drawer and then finds the floor.
Clearing it properly means emptying the unit, pulling the rear evaporator panel and thawing the coil, which is why our local invoices for this work run from $289 to $677 rather than a token charge, and why the evaporator fan sometimes has to be replaced alongside it. Mention the ice sheet when you book so the technician allows the time.
Which refrigerator brands do you see most in Conyers?
Samsung leads clearly with 29 tagged jobs, then Frigidaire 12, Whirlpool 12, GE 11, KitchenAid 4 and LG 4. Samsung is also the brand most likely to need a real part: of 23 paid Samsung visits, 18 needed one and ran a median of $416.
Frigidaire, Whirlpool, GE and Amana parts ride on the van, so those repairs usually finish in one visit. Samsung components and anything for a built-in are the parts most often ordered, and you get the total and the lead time before you approve the work.
My fridge is warm but the freezer works. Is that the compressor?
Almost never. If the freezer is still freezing, the compressor is doing its job. Cold air is made in the freezer and moved into the fresh food section by the evaporator fan, so a dead fan motor, or a coil iced over because the defrost heater or thermostat failed, leaves the freezer cold while the fridge slowly warms.
Company-wide that is a $395 to $422 repair; in Conyers several of those jobs ran higher because the iced coil had to be thawed before anything could be reached. The compressor conversation is the opposite pattern: nothing is cold anywhere.
What does the $99 diagnostic include?
A meter on the machine and a firm total before any work starts. The technician tests the actual fault rather than guessing from the symptom, so the part that goes in is the part that failed. The diagnostic is $99 and it is applied to the repair the moment you approve the work, which means an approved job never pays it twice.
You also get the lead time up front on any part that has to be ordered, and every completed repair carries a 90-day parts and labor warranty. In Conyers the median repair once a part is replaced is $420, so you have a good idea of the number before anyone arrives.
Do you cover 30012, 30013 and 30094 at the same price?
Yes, one price list and no travel surcharge. 72 of our Conyers refrigerator jobs are in 30094 on the south and southwest side, 58 in 30013 toward the Newton County line and 33 in 30012 on the west and north side.
The with-a-part medians are $405, $420 and $446 respectively, on samples of 34, 25 and 17 jobs, which is close enough that we will not read a story into the gap. Same $99 diagnostic and the same 90-day parts and labor warranty everywhere.
When does it stop making sense to repair a refrigerator?
Ten to fifteen years is the normal service life of a standard unit, longer for built-ins. At the Conyers median of $420, repair is the clear answer under about eight years, and 50 of our 76 local with-a-part jobs came in under $500.
Past twelve years with a sealed-system fault it becomes a real decision: eleven of our Conyers invoices name a compressor, four were replaced at $355 to $1,365 and the other seven customers stopped at the diagnostic and bought a new machine.
Built-ins are the exception, because replacing one is a cabinetry job, so even a $900 repair usually wins. We tell you which side of the line you are on rather than selling the repair either way.
