Welcome to the Here’s Why™ FAQ, powered by OhmsRx. If your refrigerator isn’t cooling, leaking, or making ice, you’ve probably already asked Google “why.” We’ve got the answers.

Why is my refrigerator not cooling?

Here’s Why: In Oklahoma City homes, the most common causes are dirty condenser coils, a bad evaporator fan motor, or a failing thermostat. Our team can diagnose and fix this same day.

Why is my Samsung refrigerator not making ice?

Here’s Why: Samsung ice makers often freeze up due to faulty water inlet valves, ice buildup in the chute, or failed heater elements. We specialize in Samsung ice dispenser repairs across OKC.

Why is my fridge leaking water on the floor?

Here’s Why: This usually comes from a clogged defrost drain, a cracked water filter housing, or a loose water line connection. Our repair techs can clear and seal the issue before it causes damage to your floor.

Why does my refrigerator keep running nonstop?

Here’s Why: A worn door seal, bad temperature sensor, or dirty coils force the fridge to work overtime. We replace faulty parts and tune your system so it runs efficiently again.

 Why is there frost in my freezer?

Extended Here’s Why™ Refrigerator FAQ – OhmsRx Oklahoma City

Cooling Issues

1. Why is my refrigerator warm but freezer is cold?
   Here’s Why: A faulty damper control or bad evaporator fan often causes this imbalance. Our OKC techs can fix airflow issues quickly.
   
   

2. Why does my refrigerator stop cooling after a power outage?
   Here’s Why: Power surges in Oklahoma often damage control boards or overload compressors. We specialize in diagnosing surge-related failures.
   
   

3. Why is my fridge not cooling but the light is on?
   Here’s Why: This usually points to a failed start relay, capacitor, or compressor. We can test and replace parts same day.
   
   

Ice & Water Issues

4. Why is my ice maker not filling with water?
   Here’s Why: A clogged water filter, frozen fill tube, or bad inlet valve blocks the water flow. We handle Samsung, LG, and Whirlpool systems in OKC.
   
   

5. Why is my ice dispenser not working but water works?
   Here’s Why: A defective dispenser motor, auger, or control board may be the cause. We carry replacement parts for common fridge brands.
   
   

6. Why does my fridge water taste bad?
   Here’s Why: Oklahoma’s hard water quickly wears out fridge filters. Replacing filters every 6 months keeps water fresh and clean.
   
   

7. Why does my refrigerator leak from the ice maker?
   Here’s Why: A cracked ice mold, bad seal, or overfilling water valve may be to blame. We can replace defective components fast.
   
   

Noises & Strange Behavior

8. Why is my refrigerator making a loud humming noise?
   Here’s Why: A failing condenser fan or compressor is often the culprit. We’ll identify whether repair or replacement is needed.
   
   

9. Why does my fridge make clicking sounds?
   Here’s Why: Clicking is usually a relay trying to start a failing compressor. We’ll confirm the issue before it becomes a costly breakdown.
   
   

10. Why is my refrigerator making a knocking noise?
    Here’s Why: Oklahoma power fluctuations sometimes stress compressors and fans, causing knocking sounds. We can diagnose and quiet the issue.
    
    

Leaks & Frost

11. Why is my fridge leaking inside instead of on the floor?
    Here’s Why: A clogged defrost drain usually causes pooling inside. We can unclog and clean it the same day.
    
    

12. Why is frost building up behind my freezer wall?
    Here’s Why: This points to defrost system failure (heater, timer, or thermostat). Our team can replace faulty parts fast.
    
    

13. Why does water pool under my crisper drawers?
    Here’s Why: A blocked drain line or cracked drain pan causes this issue. We’ll clear the blockage and replace damaged parts if needed.
    
    

Electrical / Control Issues

14. Why is my fridge not turning on at all?
    Here’s Why: This may be a blown fuse, faulty outlet, or dead control board. Our OKC repair team can test and restore power safely.
    
    

15. Why do my fridge lights flicker?
    Here’s Why: Loose wiring or a bad LED module causes flickering. We replace modules with manufacturer-approved parts.
    
    

16. Why does my fridge keep tripping the breaker?
    Here’s Why: Shorted compressors or wiring faults can overload circuits. We test, isolate, and repair the issue safely.
    
    

General Performance

17. Why is my refrigerator using too much electricity?
    Here’s Why: Old door gaskets, dirty coils, or failing compressors make fridges work harder. Repairs save on energy bills in OKC homes.
    
    

18. Why does my refrigerator smell bad even after cleaning?
    Here’s Why: Mold in drain pans or bacteria in water lines can cause lingering odors. We sanitize and service lines to eliminate smells.
    
    

19. Why does my fridge door not close properly?
    Here’s Why: Warped gaskets or unlevel hinges are common in older fridges. We realign doors and install new seals.
    
    

20. Why is my refrigerator cooling unevenly?
    Here’s Why: Blocked vents or faulty dampers restrict air circulation. Our repair techs balance airflow for even cooling.
