Common Refrigerator Problems
1. Fridge Isn’t Cooling
What could be more frustrating? Your fridge has one main job…if it’s not cooling, it isn’t really useful as anything more than an oversized cupboard.
A common culprit for this particular issue can be that the defrost thermostat is malfunctioning, often due to having frozen contacts. Otherwise, there be a build-up of dirt or debris on the fridge’s condenser coils.
On the other hand, if your refrigerator is failing to turn on at all, there may be an issue with the electronic control board itself, which can be the result of an unexpected power surge, or simply long-term use.
2. Fridge Leaking Water
A fairly common issue that precipitates the need for refrigerator repair, leaking water can be a real pain. Luckily, this is often a fairly simple ailment to diagnose. Often, the issue will be a blocked defrosting drain, which typically sits near the back of the freezer and becomes backed up when debris collects inside. These kinds of clogs are fairly simple to fix in the course of a typical fridge repair service.
3. Refrigerator Making Noise
A particularly noisy fridge may seem like a fact of life, but it is actually often a sign that your unit is cycling too often. That’s bad news, because not only is the noise incredibly frustrating, but too many cycles mean your fridge is using far more energy, which is bad for wallet and for the planet.
Problems with frequent cycling often begin with your refrigerator’s condenser coils. Too much build-up in the form of dust, food particles, and other debris can stop them from doing their job. The good news, however, is that this may be an issue that does not require full maintenance. A good, thorough cleaning is often enough to get your fridge cycling properly again.
