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.

A refrigerator that cools inefficiently could be the result of a thick frost accumulation on the evaporator coil. Defrost the coils manually by turning off the thermostat, and leaving the doors open for about 48 hours. Once all the frost has melted away, you can set the thermostat back to normal again. If the refrigerator still doesn't cool properly, it could be because the condenser coils are covered with dust. To clean the condenser coils, turn the refrigerator off, and clean away any lint or dust by using a refrigerator condenser brush. In the case of a refrigerator that makes a lot of noise, the problem could be with the circulating fan that circulates air through the refrigerator compartments. Other sources of noise can be a compressor in which case, there are no compressor repairs that can be done to solve the problem, and replacement of the compressor may be your only option. Noise can also result from a defective defrost timer. Replace the timer, and you should be able to solve the problem.

Refrigerator repairs can be expensive, and often replacing your refrigerator can seem more cost effective than costly refrigerator repairs to your unit. If your refrigerator is close to 15 years old or older, consider replacing your refrigerator. In case of a relatively new refrigerator, check if the problem is covered in the warranty. Always make sure that you ask the refrigerator repair man what the total cost of repairs will be, and compare it with the cost of a new refrigerator. Before considering replacing the refrigerator, consider the cost of removing your existing appliance and disposing of it properly. Also, remember that not all new refrigerator models are more energy efficient. The kind of energy savings you may have with a new refrigerator may not be substantial.
