The rest of the lineup.
Same $99 diagnostic, same written quote, same written warranty on every machine we fix in Mount Pleasant.
A warm refrigerator in Mount Pleasant goes to the front of the line. Built-in, counter-depth or the French-door most builders installed in Carolina Park, we put gauges and a meter on it, tell you in writing what it will take, and usually fix it the same trip. Summer storms, inverter compressors and control boards keep us busy on this side of the harbor.

The refrigerator calls from Mount Pleasant come in waves that follow the weather. The first is late June, when a garage refrigerator in Dunes West or a second freezer in Park West tries to hold temperature in a room that reads 105 by mid-afternoon and quits. The second runs with hurricane season. A thunderstorm off the Wando drops power for two seconds, and a week later the compressor on a four-year-old French-door starts clicking and stopping. Between those, the ordinary work: frost in a Snee Farm freezer, water under an I’On crisper drawer, a loud Sub-Zero fan in the Old Village. All of it is 25 minutes over the Ravenel Bridge, with no bridge fee.
Mount Pleasant’s newer housing stock has changed what breaks. The refrigerators in Carolina Park and the houses along the Isle of Palms Connector are inverter-driven. The compressor speed is set by a board, and the board is the part that a surge finds first. Symptom: a refrigerator that is cool but not cold, freezer soft on top, and a faint click every few minutes. The compressor is often fine. The inverter board or the main board has failed, and the difference between those two is a meter reading, not a guess. Sealed-system work is a different conversation, and when it is the compressor itself we say so plainly and put the number in writing.
The evaporator fan has stopped, the damper between the two compartments is stuck, or the defrost system failed and the coil is a block of ice behind the freezer panel. We pull the panel, meter the fan and defrost components, and get cold air moving into the fresh-food side.
On an inverter refrigerator, a failed inverter or main board. On an older unit, a start relay or overload that lets the compressor try and stop. We meter the compressor windings and the board’s output before deciding which. A compressor that is truly gone gets a plain answer in writing.
A defrost heater, thermostat or control that has stopped running the defrost cycle, or a door gasket letting Mount Pleasant humidity in every time the door opens. We meter the heater, check the gasket seal with a light, and clear the ice so the fix starts from a clean coil.
A frozen or clogged defrost drain sending melt water out the front, a cracked water line to the ice maker, or a fill valve weeping behind the unit. We find the source with the refrigerator pulled out, thaw or clear the drain, and check the line and valve before anything goes back.
Dirty condenser coils, a condenser fan that quit, low refrigerant in the sealed system, or a garage unit fighting summer heat it was never rated for. We read the temperatures at both coils and tell you whether it is airflow, a fan, or a sealed-system problem worth the repair.
Sub-Zero, Thermador, Viking and JennAir units in Old Village and I’On kitchens have separate refrigerator and freezer systems, panel fronts and their own diagnostics. We service them in place, pull the grille for the condenser, and quote the work in writing like any other refrigerator.
We ask two things on the phone: what is warm, and did the power blink recently. Then the diagnostic follows a fixed order. Thermometer in both compartments. Condenser coil temperature and airflow at the back or under the grille. Evaporator panel off, coil inspected for frost pattern, which tells us a great deal about defrost and airflow before the meter comes out. Then the meter: fan motors, defrost heater, thermistors, the inverter board’s output to the compressor, and the compressor windings themselves. On a Mount Pleasant French-door after a storm that sequence separates a bad board from a bad compressor in about twenty minutes, and the written number you get reflects the actual fault rather than the loudest guess.
Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, GE, Frigidaire, KitchenAid, Bosch and Kenmore are the freestanding brands on the route; Sub-Zero, Thermador, Viking, Wolf, Miele and JennAir the built-ins we see in Old Village, I’On and Shem Creek kitchens. Panel-front units are serviced in place. Landlords running long-term rentals off Coleman Blvd get a text on the way and a written summary after. The Mount Pleasant refrigerator technician you get works under the same rule as the whole company: the $99 diagnostic sits inside the repair number you approve. If you decline the repair, $99 is the whole bill. Book online and up to $20 comes off the repair.
