Not cooling, freezing in garage, ice maker — Same-day, fixed quote.
Polar Appliance Co. provides same-day refrigerator repair across Bloomington with Minnesota-specific diagnostic expertise. Bloomington's 1960s–1990s housing is at the most critical repair-versus-replace decision point in the Twin Cities. Honest guidance before you commit to repair cost is a core part of every Bloomington service call. Water hardness in Bloomington at 100–150 PPM produces ice maker fill valve scaling at 6–9 years for unfiltered refrigerators — slower than Western hard water markets but real over decade-plus timelines.
Bloomington's suburban position provides some insulation from the worst Minneapolis polar vortex temperatures, but unheated 1970s–1980s garages still reach -15°F to -20°F in extended cold snaps. We assess the specific thermal environment of every Bloomington garage refrigerator call before diagnosing mechanical failure. A refrigerator that froze solid at -20°F is almost certainly undamaged — it's experiencing ambient temperature, not appliance failure. Garage refrigerator kits prevent this by adding a supplemental heater near the thermostat sensor.
