A refrigerator failure in Markham means perishables at risk within hours — and for large family households in Unionville, Cornell, and Berczy Village, a fridge full of food can represent hundreds of dollars in spoilage. Nika Appliance Repair treats refrigerator calls as priority emergencies, dispatching technicians across Markham within 2-4 hours.
Markham homes in newer subdivisions like Cathedral and Milliken Mills are disproportionately equipped with large-capacity Samsung and LG French door refrigerators, counter-depth built-ins, and smart connectivity models. Our technicians carry brand-specific diagnostic tools and OEM parts for the most common failures: Samsung evaporator ice buildup, LG linear compressor faults, and smart display board replacements.
We also service the full range of traditional and premium brands found in Markham's established neighbourhoods like Thornhill and Old Unionville. Typical repairs run $150-$450. The $119 diagnostic fee is waived when you proceed with repair, and every job carries a 90-day parts and labour warranty.
From Samsung French door defrost failures to LG compressor faults, our Markham technicians resolve most refrigerator problems in a single visit.
Food is warm even though the fridge is running. Defrost system failure with ice blocking the evaporator coil is the #1 cause — extremely common in Samsung French door models. A failed start relay or compressor fault is also possible. We diagnose and fix on the first visit.
A working freezer with a warm fresh food compartment usually indicates a blocked or failed evaporator fan motor, or ice buildup restricting airflow through the evaporator. Common in Samsung and LG side-by-side and French door units prevalent in Markham.
No ice, slow ice production, or the ice maker is making a grinding noise. Frozen fill tubes, a faulty water inlet valve, failed ice maker module, or a frozen defrost drain are common causes. We restore full ice maker function same-day.
Puddles inside the crisper drawer or on the floor typically point to a blocked defrost drain line or a failed door gasket allowing warm, humid air in. We clear drain lines and replace gaskets to stop leaks and prevent floor damage.
A fridge that never cycles off drives up hydro bills and signals a problem. Worn door gaskets letting warm air in, a failed defrost heater, or a faulty temperature sensor are typical causes. We restore proper temperature cycling for efficient operation.
LG French door and bottom-freezer refrigerators in Markham sometimes fail due to the linear compressor design. Our technicians are trained specifically on LG linear compressor diagnosis and replacement, avoiding misdiagnosis of a repairable fault as a compressor replacement.
Our technicians are trained on all refrigerator brands, with specific depth on Samsung and LG platforms that dominate Markham's newer homes.
Transparent upfront pricing — we quote before we touch anything. Diagnostic fee ($119) waived when repair proceeds. All repairs include 90-day warranty.

Yes — this is a very common pattern with Samsung French door refrigerators. It's typically caused by ice buildup on the evaporator coil due to a failed defrost heater or defrost thermostat. Our Markham technicians carry the specific Samsung OEM parts and can resolve this issue in one visit.
Generally yes, if the repair cost is under 50% of the fridge's replacement value and the compressor is functional. We give you an honest assessment after diagnosing the fault — we'll tell you when replacement makes more sense. Most Markham repairs are well under that threshold.
