What reaches a refrigerator in Bonita

In Bonita Springs the water for an ice maker comes up from wells about 100 feet deep and others 800 to 1,000 feet down. It then travels through street mains that Bonita Springs Utilities (BSU) repairs one stretch at a time. A repair can leave a handful of addresses under a precautionary boil-water notice, and some condominiums ask owners to close the main valve when they go away. Both reach the ice maker and its fill valve. We repair refrigerators at homes and condos across the city, from Hickory Boulevard on the beach to Imperial Parkway.

Choose a condition to see which part of the refrigerator it concerns. Two of the three are things to do rather than failures, so the drawing marks their part with a dashed line.

A notice for a few addresses on your street

After it repairs a water main, Bonita Springs Utilities can put the addresses around the repair under a precautionary boil-water notice: a short stretch of one street, sometimes a single address. Notices like these have covered parts of Hickory Boulevard, Tangerine Drive and Imperial Parkway, some streets more than once in a month.

What to do

While the notice lasts, the CDC says not to use ice or water from the refrigerator. When BSU lifts it, follow the notice and your refrigerator manual on the ice in the bin and on the filter.

May to November

Condo rules on the main valve

Some Bonita condominiums write it into their rules: at Wild Pines in Bonita Bay, owners and renters who will be away for more than four days turn off the main water valve. GE warns that an ice maker left switched on with its water closed can keep cycling on and off and damage both the valve and the ice maker.

When you come back

Drips behind the refrigerator, or water under it, after months away are worth a call right away.

June to November

Days without power, and the water too

A hurricane can keep the power off for days. Ian came ashore on September 28, 2022, and FPL reported Lee and Collier counties essentially restored only on October 7. On Little Hickory Island the water went as well: BSU brought it back but kept a boil-water advisory north of Forester Drive. When the power returns, the surge is hardest on the electronics that run the cooling.

When the power is back

A refrigerator that stays silent once the power is back needs a look; tell us how long the outage lasted. If the water came back under a notice, treat the ice as described under Boil-water notice.

Refrigerator problems we fix in Bonita Springs

Every symptom in a single line. Where a Bonita condition plays a part, it is named beside it; the refrigerator page has the full causes and what the technician does.

  • Freezer cold, fresh-food section warm

    Cold air is no longer crossing over from the freezer, either because the air has stopped moving or because frost has blocked its way. Full guide: Refrigerator not cooling but the freezer is cold

  • Both sections warm, a click every few minutes

    The compressor keeps trying to start and cutting out, often after a summer storm sent a surge through the house.

  • Light and display on, nothing cools

    The lights get power and the cooling does not: the electronics that run it gave out, often in the same storm that took the power.

  • Frost or ice on the freezer back wall

    The defrost cycle has stopped clearing the frost, and the cooling slows as it grows.

  • Water under the crisper drawers or on the floor

    Melt water is missing its drain, or the water supply for the ice maker drips, which often shows up after a house stood closed.

  • No ice, or a buzz with no water

    The refrigerator calls for water that never arrives, a common sight in a house just opened after the summer.

  • Food freezing in the fresh-food section

    Too much freezer air gets through to the fresh-food side, or the controls misread the temperature.

  • Runs all the time, or the door edge sweats

    Heat is getting in past the doors or not getting out of the cooling system, and a Bonita summer makes either one worse.

  • New buzzing, rattling or grinding

    A moving part that is wearing out, heard before it stops for good.

Bonita Springs refrigerator questions

How do we know whether a BSU notice covers our street?

If your water bill comes from Bonita Springs Utilities, look at the service alerts page on the BSU website. Each precautionary notice is listed there with its street, its address range and its dates. What to do about the ice in the meantime is under Boil-water notice above.

We keep the water shut off while we are away. Should it be on for the visit?

Yes, when the trouble is the ice or the door water: the technician measures the water pressure at the fill valve, and that needs the supply open. Open the valve before we arrive and look behind the refrigerator for drips once the line fills.

What does the service call cost?

We tell you the fee when you call. If you go ahead with the repair, the service call fee is waived.

What warranty do I get?

3 months on labor for all appliances except high-end. On high-end appliances, parts are covered for 1 year.

How can I pay?
