Two things are worth knowing before you book. Any repair that opens the sealed refrigerant system must be done by an EPA Section 608 certified technician — all Express Xpert techs carry that certification. And if your refrigerator is 12+ years old, compare the quote against an ENERGY STAR replacement — we tell you honestly when replacing beats repairing.
