Refrigerator repair

When the fridge stops cooling, everything inside is on a clock. Tom comes to your home, finds the cause and lays out your options at that first visit.

(608) 561-1323

Refrigerators and their freezers, whatever the brand, repaired in your kitchen by the man who ran the service department at Shumway Appliance for 34 years.

Signs it needs a look

  • It runs, but the fresh food section isn't cold.
  • The freezer is frosting over, or the food in it is going soft.
  • The ice maker has stopped making ice.
  • There is water pooling inside or under it.
  • It is louder than it used to be, or clicks on and off.

When Tom comes out

  1. Call, text or email

    You get an appointment time, and Tom does his best to meet it.

  2. Tom looks at it with you

    At your home he diagnoses the problem, then talks through the best approach with you.

  3. The price of parts, up front

    He lays out your options and tells you what the replacement parts will cost, at that first visit.

  4. Often fixed there and then

    Many times the part is already in the stock he keeps in his truck.

  5. An exact time to come back

    If a part has to be ordered, he orders it from your home and gives you an exact time for the return visit.

What customers say about their fridges

Tom did a great job repairing our refrigerator. Always lets you know when he’s coming and he’s on time. Would recommend him to anyone.

Reply from the owner: Thanks Mike . It was nice meeting you and helping you out. Thanks again.

Tom is the best. He fixed our refrigerator last fall and came back again this week when it started having trouble again. He helped us through the fix – getting a new part that was covered under warranty. Tom is honest and didn’t spend our money trying to fix something that is near the end of its life span. He was able to answer my many, many questions with ease. He was also very quick to respond to our call and to stop by our house. It’s really nice to be able to make one phone call and Tom takes care of the rest. We are lucky to have someone like Tom in our area!

Reply from the owner: Thank you Sara and Ryan for that wonderful review. I will gladly help you out anytime.

Tom is a very professional and friendly guy! He helped me diagnose and fix a problem with my icemaker over the phone! He didn't even have to come to my house! He did this out of the kindness of his heart! I would highly recommend using Badger Appliance repair! Thanks for your help Tom!
