Office was very communicative and provided all required insurance for our building. Rostyslav arrived on time and diagnosed the issue and communicated it clearly. Would recommend to someone having issues with their appliance.

Service was needed on my freezer that was leaking on the inside and freezing down the length of the fridge. Tech came out and was very knowledgeable about the issue and how to address the issue. Reasonably priced based on the quotes I received. I'd recommend them with anything wrong with your fridge!

My washer broke and I needed a repair person ASAP. Starchenko was amazing!! Not just reliable with communication but their repair person was amazing as well. He looked at my washer, explained the main issues that happen and which issue mine had. I really appreciated the tech honesty, kindness and taking the time to explain everything to me.

From the start calling the office, everyone was very professional. The technician was able to come that day and fix my dryer. He walked me through everything he was going to do, he had the parts in his car, and cleaned up after himself. I would definitely recommend them.

Exceptional professional service from our first phone call to the office to the completion of our job. Service professionals came on time within the schedule window, knowledgeable, friendly, and went right to work solving our problem with a 29 year old free-standing Sub- Zero freezer. They even worked with our insurance company, which wasn't easy for them. Can't thank them enough for their patience and professionalism. 5 plus stars!!

They responded so quick, same day appointment, found the issue and had the parts on hand. They repaired it quickly and showed me a few tips to help it last longer and be safer. I am recommending them to my own friends and family. When we have appliances in need again I will for sure call them.

Price

What walk-in cooler repair costs — and when you know the number

Walk-in cooler repair cost comes down to two numbers: the $115 diagnostic and the repair price the technician gives you after testing the equipment.

The $115 diagnostic

The diagnostic on a walk-in cooler or freezer is $115, and it comes off the repair: agree to the job and the $115 is deducted from the price for parts and labor. You pay it separately only if you hear the price and decide not to repair.

The repair price

The repair price depends on what testing finds in the room-sized system. The technician checks the ceiling evaporator, the condensing equipment, defrost, drain and insulated door opening, then gives you one price for parts and labor.

Payment

We take cards, Zelle, cash or a check. You get an invoice with the work and the warranty written on it.

Common problems

Walk-in cooler and freezer problems we repair

The technician checks temperature, airflow, the evaporator and condensing system, the door and the drain, then gives you one price for parts and labor.

Walk-in cooler not holding temperature

An evaporator fan motor, thermostat, refrigerant leak or dirty condenser can leave the room warmer than its set point. The technician checks temperature, airflow and the refrigeration circuit before naming the repair.

Walk-in freezer icing up

A defrost timer, defrost heater or iced evaporator can stop airflow, while warm humid air through the door creates more frost. The technician checks the defrost system and the door opening to find where the ice starts.

Walk-in cooler door won't seal

A worn gasket, loose hinge, failed closer or a door that has shifted can pull warm air into the room and ice the frame. We check the gasket, hinges, closer and alignment and replace the failed part.

Water on the floor of the walk-in

A blocked drain line, drain pan or drain heater can leave water under the evaporator or at the door. The technician traces the water, clears the drain path and tests the affected part.

Walk-in cooler running constantly

A dirty condensing unit or evaporator coil, low refrigerant or a system overheating in Florida heat can keep the equipment running without reaching temperature. The technician checks the coils, pressures and airflow first.

Walk-in cooler fan not working

An evaporator fan motor, damaged blade, wiring fault or ice around the fan can stop cold air from moving through the room. Florida heat and humidity make a dirty condenser and a door held open especially hard on the system.

Walk-in cooler maintenance

Walk-in cooler maintenance includes cleaning the condenser, checking door gaskets and clearing the drain so airflow, the room seal and water removal keep working. We inspect those points and flag a failed part before it turns into a cooling problem.

How it works

What happens after you call

No surprises on a Starchenko Appliance Repair invoice: you approve the price before anyone picks up a screwdriver.

  1. 1

    You call or book online

    Tell us whether it is a cooler or freezer, the equipment brand and what the room is doing. We confirm a time window — usually today or tomorrow. Calls are answered 24/7; repair visits run Mon–Fri, 9 am to 7 pm across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.

  2. 2

    The technician comes out, tests it and gives you the price

    One price for parts and labor on your equipment, before any repair work starts. Go ahead — the diagnostic fee is credited toward the repair. Say no — the diagnostic is all you pay.

  3. 3

    Most parts are already in the van

    That’s how 95% of repairs are finished on the first visit. If your part has to be ordered, you hear how long the wait is before you agree to anything.

  4. 4

    If the same problem comes back, so do we

    The warranty is 90 days on parts and labor, written on your invoice, not promised verbally. Comes back within that time — the return visit is on us.

Before you book

Walk-in cooler repair questions, answered

What businesses ask before booking walk-in cooler or freezer repair — temperature, ice, doors, timing, price, brands and warranty.

Call (786) 643-8833

How soon can you come out for a walk-in cooler or freezer?

Same day or the next day. Calls are answered 24/7; repair visits run Mon–Fri, 9 am to 7 pm, across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. Tell us whether it is a cooler or freezer and what temperature it is holding when you call or book.

The evaporator fan motor, thermostat, dirty condenser or a refrigerant leak may be keeping the room above its set point. The technician checks temperature, airflow and the refrigeration circuit to identify the cause before replacing a part.

A defrost timer, defrost heater or iced evaporator can stop airflow, and a door that admits warm humid air creates more frost. The technician checks the defrost system, evaporator and door opening to find where the ice starts.

Yes. We check the gasket, hinges, closer and door alignment, then replace the failed part that is letting warm air into the room and causing frost around the opening.

The price depends on what is actually broken and is known after the diagnostic. The $115 diagnostic is credited toward the repair; after testing, the technician gives you one price for parts and labor.

The warranty is 90 days on both the part and the labor, written on the invoice you keep. If the same problem comes back within those 90 days, the return visit is on us.

Starchenko Appliance Repair covers Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach — from Homestead in the south to West Palm Beach in the north. Not on the city list but inside the three counties? Call — the answer is usually yes.

Equipment we work with includes Master-Bilt, Nor-Lake, Kolpak, Heatcraft, Bohn, Copeland, True and Turbo Air. Tell us the name on the box and on the refrigeration equipment when you call.

Yes. Walk-in refrigerator is another name people use for a walk-in cooler: an insulated room kept at refrigerated temperature. If the room is meant to stay below freezing, it is a walk-in freezer; tell us which one you have when you book.
