Common Fridge & Freezer Issues
Fresh and frozen foods may both be stored in your refrigerator, giving you the supplies you need to make your favorite meals and try out new recipes for both your family and friends. A well-functioning refrigerator is a must-have in just about any household. Still, like any other kitchen appliance, your refrigerator may develop problems that necessitate repairs.
Professional appliance maintenance specialists are ideally suited to handle a wide range of typical refrigerator concerns. Weโll go through some of the most frequent fridge repair issues to assist you in figuring out whatโs wrong.
The refrigerator is constantly cycling
A refrigerator that cycles too frequently is among the most typical problems that this appliance faces. Your refrigerator must operate to keep food at a safe temperature, and a refrigerator that runs constantly can be pretty annoying. Worse, because the fridge is among the most energy-intensive appliances in any household, it will dramatically raise your power consumption.
An accumulation of dust or other kitchen detritus around the unitโs condenser coils is the most typical reason for a refrigerator cycling too much. To check this, turn off your refrigerator and look at the coils, which are usually located near the bottom of the appliance.
If the problem remains after cleaning, the temperature in your refrigerator may be set a little too low, prompting it to run continuously to maintain the low temperature. Alter the temperature of your refrigerator to see if it affects the cycle. If the problem persists, contact a professional refrigerator repair technician.
The refrigerator is leaking water
Refrigerator water leakage is a prevalent but severe issue. A clogged or frozen water supply line and a blocked defrost drain are common causes of this problem. Bits of food or other waste might clog your defrost drain, which is typically accessible from within your freezer. Warm water can be used to clean the drainage from inside the freezer. However, debris may need to be physically removed. To remove any stuck material, locate the defrost drain pipe on the back of your refrigerator and clean it using warm and soap.
If you believe that your refrigeratorโs water supply line is blocked or jammed, disconnect it and check that the shut-off valve is off. Inspect the water supply pipe next to determine if it has any fractures or tears. If this is the case, the line should be removed. Contact a refrigerator repair specialist if you find a blockage that does not look like ice.
Thereโs too much ice build-up in the freezer
The freezer of your refrigerator is ideal for storing ice, but it shouldnโt have much of it. When the freezer is left open for an extended period, the humidity content inside the freezer rises, which can lead to ice formation. Shut your freezer door once youโve finished using it to keep the humidity levels from rising too high. Your freezer could potentially have a malfunctioning seal, allowing outside air to enter and increasing humidity levels. You may replace the seal on your freezer to make sure that it maintains the correct temperature and humidity levels. If these alternatives fail to address your problem, seek the assistance of a qualified refrigerator repair professional.
The water dispenser of your refrigerator is not working
Many modern refrigerators have a water dispenser that makes it simple to get cold, fresh water for your household. The water dispenser in your unit may not function because of many factors.
Your freezer doorโs water tube may be frozen, preventing water from going through the dispenser. Fortunately, this can be detached and thawed to restore water flow. A faulty water inlet valve is another possibility. The water inlet valve opens to provide water to the dispenser. However, it could be faulty. You may potentially have low water pressure, which means water isnโt being pumped through the dispenserโs input valve. Immediately contact an experienced refrigerator repair specialist if youโre having trouble solving this problem.
The refrigerator is warm
Refrigerators are built to keep food cool, so excessive heat from yours is especially concerning. If you discover that your refrigerator is getting warm, youโll need to get repairs done right away. Problems with the condenser coils are most likely to blame for a warm refrigerator. Try cleaning the refrigeratorโs condenser coils and make sure that the condenser fan motor is functioning correctly. This is a very tough problem to resolve, and it usually involves tapping the services of a professional refrigerator repairman.
A modern kitchen isnโt complete without a fully functional refrigerator, yet this device must operate consistently at all times. You can make sure it does by getting it maintained or looked after by a well-trained and experienced expert who can address practically any common refrigerator issue. Your refrigerator should always run at maximum efficiency. For the most excellent results, you might want to hire the professional fridge repair service of Pegasus Appliance Repair. Call us today at (289) 812-8120.
How to Maintain Your Refrigerator & Freezer
Want to keep your fridge and freezer in the best shape? Here are a few fridge maintenance tips from our repair experts:
-
Keep your fridge at the proper temperature.
Health Canada recommends fridges are set to 4ยฐC (40ยฐF) or colder. Itโs also recommended that freezers are set to -18 ยฐC (0 ยฐF) or lower. These cold temperatures help prevent bacteria growth.
Keeping your fridge temperature consistent has another benefit too: it will help extend the lifespan of your fridge.
-
Keep the fridgeโs condenser coils clean.
Many fridge issues are caused by dirty condenser coils. When they get covered in dust, they become less efficient at removing heat from your appliance.
To keep your fridge clean, vacuum your fridge condenser coils every 6 months. Before cleaning your condenser coils, make sure to unplug the fridge first. The condenser coils are usually found either behind or underneath your fridge.
-
Check your fridgeโs door seals regularly.
If your fridge isnโt staying cold, a loose door seal is the most likely culprit. A loose door seal also wastes energy, as your fridge has to work extra hard to stay cold.
Make sure your seals are kept clean so that food residue doesnโt weaken the seal. If youโre worried the seals arenโt tight enough, try passing a thin sheet of paper through the seal. If a sheet of paper can pass through the seals, they need to be repaired
-
Keep your fridge at least half full.
An empty fridge takes more energy to keep cold, and is more likely to fluctuate in temperature. Therefore, keep your fridge full of food and drink. This will help your fridge stay cold, as the cold food and drinks absorb warm air.
-
Keep your fridge clean.
Food and mold buildup can do damage to your fridge in a variety of ways, so keep your fridge as clean as possible to extend its lifespan.
If your fridge has an ice or water dispenser, remember to clean and change the filters on a regular basis.
Fridge Repair FAQs
Here are the most common fridge repair questions we receive from our clients:
-
How many years should your refrigerator last for?
In our experience, refrigerators have a lifespan of 15 to 30 years, depending on the make and model and how much care they receive over time.
-
Should I pay to repair my fridge or buy a new one?
Of course, this will depend on the age and condition of your refrigerator, and which parts are required to fix it.
When on a service call, our repairmen will be able to provide a recommendation once theyโve assessed your refrigerator. In general, a good rule of thumb is to buy a new refrigerator if the cost of repair is more than 60 to 70% the cost of buying a new one.
-
What is the cost of replacing a fridge compressor? Is it worth replacing?
In general, an issue with your fridgeโs compressorโthe most important part of your fridgeโs sealed systemโis a major problem. Replacing a fridge compressor is similar to replacing your carโs engine. These are usually (but not always) very expensive repairs.
There are situations in which it is worth it to repair your fridge compressor:
ย ยย ย 1. You have an expensive or high-end fridge
ย ย2. Your fridge is built in to your kitchen cabinets
ย ย3. Your fridge matches other appliances in your kitchen, making it challenging to find a replacement fridge
ย ย4. Plus, itโs always best for the environment to repair your fridge rather than get a new one!
Plus, itโs always best for the environment to repair your fridge rather than get a new one!
-
Why is my refrigerator running more often than it used to?
There are three common reasons for a fridge to run frequently: the fridge is placed too close to the wall, thereโs a door thatโs not properly sealed, or the fridgeโs condenser coils are dirty.
-
How long can you leave food in a broken fridge?
An unopened fridge will keep food cold for up to 4 hours. An unopened freezer will keep your food frozen for up to 48 hours. Therefore, if your fridge isnโt working, keep the doors closed for as long as possible.
-
How do I safely dispose of an old refrigerator?
Because of the refrigerant stored in your refrigerator, itโs illegal to dispose of your refrigerator like you would typical waste. Always contact a licensed appliance repair service to safely dispose of your used refrigerator unit.
