Refrigerator warm but freezer cold
A failed evaporator fan, a clogged defrost drain, or a worn defrost heater can leave the fresh-food side warm while the freezer stays icy. We test each part of the defrost system rather than guessing.
Auburn sits in the Green River valley at the south end of King County, roughly 7 miles east of our NE Tacoma base. Appliance Experts 365 brings licensed, insured, EPA 608 certified repair to homes across the city, from the older blocks near downtown to the newer subdivisions on Lakeland Hills and Lea Hill. You get a technician with more than ten years of hands-on experience, a clear diagnostic fee quoted before the visit, and a written quote before any repair begins. Same-day or next-day appointments are available for most Auburn addresses.
Because we are independent rather than manufacturer-authorized, we work on the full range of brands found in local kitchens and laundry rooms, not just one label. That includes refrigerators and freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, ranges and cooktops. Sealed-system work on refrigerators is handled in-house under our EPA 608 certification, so a refrigerant leak does not mean calling a second contractor. The diagnostic fee is credited toward any approved repair, and completed work carries a parts-and-labor warranty.

Door boots, drain pump seals and inlet hoses are the usual suspects on front-load washers. We pinpoint the source before any parts are ordered.
Restricted venting is the most common cause, followed by a failed heating element or a gas igniter that will not hold. We check airflow at the machine and at the wall.
Weak bake elements, failing igniters and inaccurate temperature sensors all show up this way. We measure actual cavity temperature against the setpoint.
