A sealed system repair is a substantial investment into keeping the fridge you know and love running for years to come. With that, it’s important to find a company you can really trust and count on to do the job right, the first time around.
Vancouver Appliance Service Pros perform in-warranty sealed system repairs for brands like Frigidaire, Electrolux, Blomberg, Fhiaba, Fulgor Milano, LG and more. And to top it off - every repair we perform is covered by a comprehensive 6-month warranty on parts and labour.
Samsung and LG both make amazing fridges. However, some of their models are prone to sealed system issues that start to present themselves out of the factory.
LG linear compressors are covered by a 10-year warranty on parts. However, LG doesn’t cover the labour and frequently customers may turn towards their $250 flat-rate repair program only to find out that their sealed system would not be covered and that they would have to pay extra to repair their unit in the end.
On the other hand, Samsung only offers 5 years of warranty coverage on their refrigerators. All in-warranty repairs to a Samsung sealed system have to be done through Samsung directly. Though, we would be happy to help with your out of warranty Samsung fridge sealed system repair.
Here at Vancouver Appliance Service Pros, we like to keep our pricing simple. We bill $100 + GST to diagnose your fridge sealed system.
If the issue is a sealed-system issue, sealed system repairs run $800 - $1,500 in labour on average, depending on the fault and the appliance, plus the cost of parts and supplies. We quote the parts and supplies after the diagnostic, so you know the whole number before we start the work.
Otherwise, if it’s not a sealed system issue - we’ll fix it under our standard pricing - $225-$300 repair labour plus parts. Simple as that! Our appliance repair cost breakdown sets sealed system work against every other repair we do, appliance by appliance.
While doing end to end sealed system jobs on refrigerators is our bread and butter, we are also experts at a couple other smaller service offerings. Learn about all of our other sealed system repair, recovery & diagnostic services below.
Most of the time, if your fridge needs a refrigerant recharge, it’s due to a leak.

Getting rid of a fridge? Did you know that you can’t dispose of a refrigerator or any other refrigeration device without evacuating the refrigerant first?
Very few fridges these days use freon, but it’s still a requirement to have an ODP / CFC certified professional (Our GAS/ODP License: BC30591) recover & dispose of the refrigerant in your fridge before you recycle it or send it off to a dump.
Our expert technicians can help with this.
This will only cost you our call-out of $100.00 + GST.
Call (604) 265-3852 and describe the symptoms - is the fridge not cooling, freezer, or both? We’ll book the earliest available slot.
Your technician arrives with all the necessary equipment to test your refrigerator’s sealed system and determine the exact point of failure.
Once we order in the parts to complete your repair, we’ll come out and perform the whole sealed system welding repair, recharge refrigerant and pressure test your system. This usually takes around 3 hours.
We verify the fridge and freezer cooling to the correct temperature, check for leaks, and confirm everything is running properly. All sealed system repairs carry a 6-month repair warranty.
