GE REFRIGERATOR REPAIR: FIXING CONDENSER FAN FAILURE & OVERHEATING
GE REFRIGERATOR REPAIR: FIXING LOUD NOISES & COOLING FAILURES
A customer in Austin reported their GE Profile refrigerator was making a loud "chirping" or "whirring" noise and the temperature in the fresh food section was rising. Our diagnostics revealed that the evaporator fan motor was failing—a frequent issue where worn bearings cause the fan to spin at low RPM or freeze entirely, blocking cold air circulation.
The Solution To restore silent and efficient operation:
The Solution To restore silent and efficient operation:
- Diagnostic: Verified the control board was sending correct voltage to the fan and tested the thermistor for accurate resistance.
- OEM Replacement: Installed a new original GE fan motor. We only use factory-certified parts to ensure the variable speed settings function correctly with the main board.
- Coil Maintenance: Deep-cleaned the condenser coils to reduce the heat load on the compressor and improve energy efficiency.
- Final Verification: Monitored the internal system to ensure the fridge reached target temperatures of 37°F/0°F within hours.
A customer in Austin noticed their GE refrigerator had stopped cooling properly, and the exterior side walls were becoming dangerously hot to the touch. Upon inspection of the machine compartment, we found the condenser fan motor had seized. This fan is responsible for pulling air through the condenser coils to remove heat from the refrigerant; without it, the compressor overheats and the entire sealed system fails to maintain food-safe temperatures.
The Solution To protect the compressor and restore cooling efficiency, we performed the following:
The Solution To protect the compressor and restore cooling efficiency, we performed the following:
- Diagnostic: Verified that the main control board was providing power to the fan, confirming a mechanical motor failure.
- OEM Replacement: Installed a brand-new original GE condenser fan motor. Using genuine GE parts ensures the correct RPM and airflow to properly cool the high-performance compressor.
- Condenser Cleaning: Performed a deep cleaning of the condenser coils. Removing dust buildup is essential to reduce the workload on the new fan and prevent future overheating.
- System Verification: Monitored the compressor temperature and verified that the exterior walls cooled down to normal levels as the refrigeration cycle stabilized.
GE REFRIGERATOR REPAIR: FIXING CLOGGED DEFROST DRAIN & WATER LEAKS
A customer in Austin noticed water pooling on their kitchen floor and inside the bottom of their GE refrigerator. Our inspection confirmed that the defrost drain line was completely clogged. During the automatic defrost cycle, the melting frost had nowhere to go because of the blockage, causing water to overflow the drain pan and leak directly into the fresh food compartment and onto the floor.
The Solution To resolve the leak and ensure proper drainage, we performed a professional-grade clearing:
The Solution To resolve the leak and ensure proper drainage, we performed a professional-grade clearing:
- Steam Defrost: Used specialized steam equipment to safely melt the ice plug inside the drain hole without damaging the GE plastic liner or internal sensors.
- Drain Line Flushing: Flushed the entire drain tube with a cleaning solution to remove debris, algae, or mineral deposits that caused the clog.
- Valve Inspection: Cleaned and adjusted the drain "duckbill" valve at the rear of the unit to prevent it from sticking shut in the future.
- Flow Test: Performed a manual water test to verify that the drainage system was 100% clear and flowing correctly into the evaporator pan.
GE FRENCH DOOR REFRIGERATOR: FIXING DEFROST FAILURE & COOLING ISSUES
The root cause was a faulty Main Control Board (PCB). The client in Austin noticed that the freezer was not maintaining the correct temperature and the fresh food section was getting warm. Upon inspection, we found the evaporator coils were completely iced over, which blocked air circulation throughout the unit. While the heating element and defrost thermistors (fuses) tested fine for continuity, the control board was failing to send the necessary voltage to trigger the defrost cycle. This electronic "brain" failure left the refrigerator stuck in cooling mode indefinitely.
The Solution To restore the automatic defrost system and ensure consistent cooling, we performed the following:
The Solution To restore the automatic defrost system and ensure consistent cooling, we performed the following:
- Manual Steam Defrost: We used professional steam equipment to safely melt the ice buildup from the evaporator coils without damaging the sensitive aluminum fins or plastic liner.
- Diagnostic Testing: Verified the integrity of the heater and bimetal thermostat. By performing a voltage test directly from the board terminals, we confirmed the Main Control Board was not outputting power to the defrost circuit.
- Part Replacement: Installed a brand-new original GE OEM Main Control Board. We updated the system and verified that the new board correctly communicated with the sensors.
- System Calibration: Ran a forced defrost test through the service mode to ensure the new board successfully activated the heater.

Heating element went out in our dryer. Uniqpro technician Dimitri was wonderful. He also found that white thing in the middle was very worn. He gave the entire dryer a checkup! He replaced the white thing at cost of the part. Very clean, affordable, professional. Fast response with accurate quote.
We will be calling Dimitri again.
I’ve got respond in 10 min after I post my order and the tech was in my house next day. He gave me very detailed evaluation what should be repair for very reasonable price, without upselling! He fixed ice maker in my Samsung fridge, replaced a water filter and in addition for the same price cleaned vacuumed condenser coil, fan, etc.
GREAT 5 STAR SERVICE! Thank you.

Dmitri helped us with very short notice. He efficiently and expertly repaired our Asko washing machine. I was expecting to wait weeks to get in with a certified Asko repair person however he was very familiar with Asko and better than anyone we have. He is smart, knowledgeable and very kind.His price was extremely fair, almost too little for what the work he did.
Highly recommend!
I plan on using Dimitri whenever I need an appliance repair moving forward. He's an experienced and very sweet young man who is starting his own repair business and he responded quickly to my Yelp inquiry. He was at my home within 2 hours to replace the faulty oven ignition in my 5 year old Samsung range. He was in and out in just an hour, and again he was very kind and his pricing was very reasonable. Thanks Dimitri!
