Refrigerator Repairs

You can increase the life of your refrigerator, and avoid the need for refrigerator repairs by taking time to clean and maintain your appliance. Make sure that you clean the condenser coils at least once every 3 months. These coils will be located either under the refrigerator or behind it. Look at your produce manual, and remove food debris from the drain hole, and clean out the drain pan. Make sure that the gasket on the door of the refrigerator and freezer are sealed tightly. Look for cracked gaskets, or gaskets that have come loose. If you find that the doors of your refrigerator don't close automatically, you could be wasting precious energy. Make sure that your refrigerator is level. Clean gaskets with vinegar to avoid mold growth.

If your refrigerator doesn't seem to cool properly, check if the thermostat is turned to a proper setting. If there is no problem with the thermostat, check if the compressor motor is functioning properly. A compressor motor that is running will make a continuous humming sound. If there is nothing wrong with the compressor motor, you may have a more serious problem on your hands, and need to call in a professional refrigerator repair specialist. If the refrigerator makes a lot of noise, it could be because the fan has become worn out overtime. Other causes of a noisy refrigerator can be the condenser fan motor in case of a self defrosting refrigerator, the defrost timer or the compressor. In case the compressor is making noise, then refrigerator repairs will involve replacing the motor altogether. There are no compressor repairs that can be done to reduce the noise. In case of a noisy condenser fan, clean the fan using a soft brush after unplugging the refrigerator. A noisy defrost timer will have to be replaced.

Other common refrigerator repair problems are linked to leakage. A leaky refrigerator could be a sign that the fridge is not sealed properly. Check the gaskets of your refrigerator and freezer, and if you find a problem, wash these with soapy water and apply petroleum jelly. If your gaskets are still loose, they may have to be replaced. Leakage can also occur if the refrigerator is not placed on a level setting. Adjust the legs of your refrigerator to solve these problems. Ice makers can also sometimes leak when the water line gets disconnected, draining water into the freezer. If none of these tips help, call a refrigerator repair man to fix your refrigerator.
