Refrigerator Repair Ellenwood GA
Our Ellenwood, GA records put the middle refrigerator bill at $429 whenever a part goes in, and the central half of those bills stretches from $349 to $529. That figure is the complete ticket: the part, the technician’s time and the visit are already inside it. Across all of Georgia the same median is $412, which puts Ellenwood $17 higher.
Book Refrigerator Repair in Ellenwood
A fresh-food section that will not get cold, a freezer packing itself with frost, a dispenser that has gone dry, or water pooling under the crisper drawers. We work on top-freezer, bottom-freezer, side-by-side and French door models at every address in 30294, whichever county the street sits in.
Refrigerators account for 48 of our Ellenwood jobs, spread over 45 households. Twenty-three of those calls were booked from October 2025 through October 2026.
The Diagnosis Sets the Price, Not the Postal Code
A median is only the middle of a range, and the Ellenwood refrigerator range is wide. The smallest bill with a part in this file is $212. The largest is $1,232, and that ticket was a compressor assembly. Between those two ends, the service lines in our Ellenwood records name a temperature control, a refrigerant recharge, an evaporator fan motor and a drain cleaning, and the company list below adds more parts, each with its own price. Two Ellenwood calls that both begin with a warm refrigerator can end with bills hundreds of dollars apart.
For that reason this page does not promise a single number for a refrigerator that will not cool. What it can do is show where a bill tends to land once the failed part has a name. The middle half of Ellenwood bills spans $180, from $349 to $529. Statewide our refrigerator band is $195 wide, $325 to $520, and across the company it is $188 wide, $319 to $507. Ellenwood starts a little higher than both and stops a little higher than both.
| Refrigerator bills with a part | Median | Middle half | Width |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ellenwood | $429 | $349 to $529 | $180 |
| All of our Georgia work | $412 | $325 to $520 | $195 |
| Every Bozmanfix market | $395 | $319 to $507 | $188 |
Company Medians for Each Refrigerator Part
Each row below is a company median: the midpoint of completed refrigerator invoices in every market we serve, part, labor and travel included. Once the technician names the failed part in your kitchen, find it here to see where the repair is likely to fall.
| Repair | Company median | Middle half |
|---|---|---|
| Thermostat or temperature sensor | $386 | $340 to $470 |
| Start relay or overload | $389 | $335 to $460 |
| Defrost heater or timer | $395 | $350 to $530 |
| Water inlet valve | $401 | $345 to $510 |
| Evaporator or condenser fan motor | $422 | $365 to $510 |
| Ice maker module | $449 | not published |
| Door gasket | $484 | $375 to $710 |
| Control board | $564 | $430 to $700 |
| Compressor | $956 | $670 to $1,330 |
Five of those lines, from the sensor at $386 to the fan at $422, sit inside the Ellenwood middle half, near its lower edge. The ice maker module and the gasket fall in the upper part of the same band. The control board lands $35 beyond the top of it, and the compressor stands well clear of everything else at $956.
Seen as a ladder, eight rungs climb only $178, from $386 to $564. The ninth row, the compressor, is $570 above the cheapest line. That single repair is where the price of a replacement refrigerator becomes a fair comparison.
What Ellenwood Callers Tell Us
The booking for every Ellenwood call carries a short description typed during the conversation. Each of the 48 refrigerator notes was read in full and placed in a group by its complaint:
- Not cooling, not getting cold or staying warm. 20 notes. Two of them, booked on the same April 2026 day, carry the same text.
- The ice maker or the water and ice dispenser. 10 notes.
- A freezer that stopped freezing or stopped working. 6 notes.
- Ice or frost building up inside the freezer. 5 notes.
- Water leaking inside the cabinet or onto the floor. 5 notes.
- The whole unit dead, with no power or no sign of running. 3 notes.
Some notes fit two groups, such as a freezer that is icing up and leaking at the same time. Two callers named the compressor as their own guess, one named the evaporator fan, and one read out an EF code from a Frigidaire display. A note records what the owner noticed in the kitchen, not what we found behind the panel. The list describes symptoms, not failed parts. Even so, a refrigerator that is not cooling is the largest group in this file, at 20 of 48 notes.
Why the Same Symptom Can Mean Five Different Repairs
A refrigerator that stops cooling can be reacting to almost any line in the part table. A sensor that misreads the cabinet tells the control to rest when it should run. A defrost heater that quits lets frost smother the evaporator coil until the fan has nothing to push. A fan motor that stops leaves the cold trapped in the freezer. To the person standing at the open door, a dead start relay and a dead compressor give the same warm shelves. Across Bozmanfix that spread runs from $386 to $956.
The $99 diagnostic is there to close that gap. The technician measures the temperature in each section, listens for the compressor and the fans, looks at the evaporator coil for frost, reads stored faults from the control and meters the part that the readings point to. By the end you know which part failed and what the repair costs. Say yes and the bill drops by the $99.
Six Things the Ellenwood Refrigerator File Shows
No single brand dominates FRIGIDAIRE 8 · SAMSUNG 6
Thirty-eight Ellenwood refrigerator jobs carry a brand tag. Frigidaire tops that list at 8, Samsung follows at 6, and four brands tie at 5: Kenmore, LG, GE and Whirlpool. KitchenAid shows up 3 times and Amana once.
Across every Ellenwood appliance the picture is less even: Samsung plus Whirlpool make 65 of the 132 jobs with a brand tag. The tags record which refrigerators people called about, not how reliable any brand is.
Ice and water at the door 10 DISPENSER OR ICE NOTES
Ten of the 48 notes mention the ice maker or the water and ice dispenser: no ice, no water at the door, an ice maker that will not stop filling the bin, and one ice maker leaking inside the cabinet.
On the company price list, a new ice maker module comes to $449 at the median and a water inlet valve to $401. Our Ellenwood ice maker and freezer page covers that work in more depth.
Frost inside the freezer 5 ICING NOTES · DEFROST $395
Five notes describe a freezer that is building ice: frozen at the back, freezing up at the bottom, icing up and leaking. On a frost-free refrigerator, ice where it should not be points the technician at the defrost heater, its control and the drain path.
Our company median for replacing a defrost heater or timer is $395, and the middle half of those tickets runs $350 to $530.
When the compressor really is the part $1,232 IN THIS FILE
The single most expensive Ellenwood refrigerator bill was a compressor assembly at $1,232, on a call that started as a freezer that had stopped working. Two other callers guessed the compressor before anyone came out.
A guess on the phone is not a diagnosis. A failed start relay clicks and stays warm in the same way, and it is a $389 repair at the company median. The sounds that separate the two are in signs of a bad refrigerator compressor.
Mostly owner-occupied houses 80.6 PERCENT OWNERS
The Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 survey counts 14,995 occupied homes in ZIP code 30294, and owners live in 80.6 percent of them. Nearly nine in ten housing units there, 89.0 percent, are detached houses.
Whether you own or rent, tell us at booking who approves the price and who will open the door.
A housing stock from the 2000s MEDIAN YEAR BUILT 1999
The same survey puts the median year built for housing in 30294 at 1999. Homes built from 2000 to 2009 are 37.1 percent of all units, the largest single decade, and homes from the 1990s add 20.9 percent.
A house from 1999 can hold a refrigerator bought last year, or one the first owner left behind. If you know roughly when the unit was bought, or that it came with the house, mention it when you book.

Which Parts Get Tested for Each Complaint
- Fresh-food side warm, freezer still cold: the fan motor in the freezer compartment, followed by the defrost heater and the board or timer that runs it.
- Both sections warm and the back of the cabinet silent: the relay on the compressor, then the main board, and only then the compressor itself.
- Freezer no longer freezing: the defrost components, the fan and, last, the refrigerant circuit.
- Frost packed inside the freezer: the defrost heater, the defrost sensor and the drain under the coil.
- Water under the drawers or on the floor: the drain tube under the evaporator, the water line at the back and the valve where it enters.
- No ice, or nothing from the door dispenser: water path checks running from filter and valve through the fill tube up to the module.
The list gives the testing order a technician follows. It is not a substitute for the test itself, and nothing in it is a job for the homeowner.
One ZIP Code Across Four Counties
Ellenwood is not a city, and 30294 is its only ZIP code. DeKalb holds the largest share of that ZIP code’s land, 36.2 percent, with Clayton close behind at 35.2, Henry at 27.4 and Rockdale at 1.2, per the Census Bureau’s 2020 relationship files. Almost all of it, 92.3 percent, sits outside any incorporated city or census-designated place, with small pieces inside Forest Park, Stonecrest and the Conley area.
None of that changes a refrigerator visit. Wherever the county line falls, a refrigerator visit in 30294 carries the same $99 diagnostic, discounts and warranty.
The Refrigerator Calendar, Company-Wide
Company-wide, refrigerator calls run highest in July, 11.6 percent of the year’s bookings across all years of our records, and lowest in February. Forty-eight Ellenwood jobs are too few to show a monthly pattern of their own, so we do not publish one for this ZIP code.
If the refrigerator that has stopped is a second unit in the garage or on a porch, say so when you book.
USDA Food Rules During the Wait
According to USDA guidance, a refrigerator that stays closed keeps food safe for about 4 hours without cooling. For a freezer the figures are roughly 48 hours if full and 24 if half full.
The line that matters is 40°F. Perishables kept warmer than 40°F for over two hours should not be eaten. Items that kept their ice crystals or never rose above 40°F can be refrozen, by that guidance. Every opening of the doors lets cold air out, so keep them shut.
Is an Ellenwood Refrigerator Worth Fixing?
Leave the compressor out of the company part list and the remaining repairs run from $386 to $564. Weigh that spread against a new unit of similar size, delivered and installed. The compressor, at a $956 median, is the repair where the age and condition of the cabinet matter more than on any other line.
The repair figure arrives once the fault is pinned down, and whether to go ahead is your call. Our guides on how long refrigerators last and when to repair or replace lay out the background, and refrigerator temperature lists the settings each compartment should hold.

Refrigerator Questions From Ellenwood Kitchens
How much does refrigerator repair cost in Ellenwood, GA?
Ellenwood refrigerator bills that include a part have a $429 median, and the middle half runs from $349 to $529; each of those bills already holds the part, the labor and the visit. Approving the repair cancels the $99 diagnostic, and parts and labor stay under warranty for 90 days.
Do Ellenwood refrigerator repairs cost more than the Georgia figure?
Slightly. At $429, Ellenwood sits $17 over our $412 Georgia median and $34 over the $395 company figure. The local file is too small to say which repairs account for that difference.
What does it cost when the refrigerator is not cooling?
It depends on the part the diagnosis finds. Company medians run $386 for a sensor, $395 for a defrost heater or timer, $422 for a fan motor, $564 for a control board and $956 for a compressor. Twenty of the 48 Ellenwood refrigerator notes we read describe exactly that complaint.
My freezer is full of frost. Is that a separate problem?
On a frost-free model, heavy frost points to the defrost system, and the technician tests the defrost heater, its sensor or timer and the drain. Company-wide, a defrost heater or timer repair has a $395 median.
Which refrigerator brands do you repair in Ellenwood?
Frigidaire leads our Ellenwood refrigerator tags with 8, followed by Samsung with 6 and Kenmore, LG, GE and Whirlpool with 5 each. KitchenAid and Amana appear too, and we repair all of them.
Do you cover the Henry County and DeKalb County parts of Ellenwood?
Yes. ZIP code 30294 crosses DeKalb, Clayton, Henry and a small corner of Rockdale County, and every address in it gets the same $99 diagnostic, discounts and warranty.
Can someone else approve the repair if I am not home?
Yes. Tell us at booking who will let the technician in and who approves the price, whether that is a family member, a tenant, a landlord or an agent. The diagnostic and the warranty work the same way for everyone.
