Refrigerator Problems

Fridge Repair Service
Loud/Constant Noises

This common problem can happen because of the condenser fan motor in the refrigerator. The evaporator fan motor in the freezer can also cause it.
We request our customers, if feasible, to ascertain whether the noise is originating from the freezer or the refrigerator. This will help us have everything we need to fix it. This is a prevalent issue many individuals encounter with their fridge appliances.

Water Leakage

One or two potential reasons for this exist. The first problem is a broken water inlet valve. The subsequent concern pertains to the door’s seal or fastening. No matter the problem, we will stock our service van with the necessary tools and parts. If the fridge won’t start, first check that someone has plugged it into the power outlet. Also, make sure the circuit breaker is working correctly. Once the caller confirms that these common issues are not the cause, they can contact us by phone or online booking. Two more factors might help explain this phenomenon. The first one could be a malfunction in the system that controls the temperature. Another problem is a broken compressor overload relay.

On the other hand, if it is too cold, the problem may be a broken thermistor or temperature control. The same reasons apply to an excessively cold freezer. There may be problems with the door latch or the bulb. A broken refrigerator door can cause a loss of cold air. This can lead to food spoiling inside the fridge. Groceries can be expensive, and this can waste a lot of money.

Troubleshooting: Refrigerator Repair

To prolong the lifespan of your refrigerator, you should clean the condenser coils annually. Cleaning the condenser coils of some refrigerators, like side-by-side and built-in models, is important. Doing this at least twice a year is helpful.
A refrigerator with black coils at the back does not need frequent cleaning. However, vacuuming the coils now and then can help.

How to clean your refrigerator coils
  • Disconnect your fridge or switch it off from the circuit breaker.
  • Take off the protective casing to expose the coils and cooling fins.
  • Utilize a vacuum with an extended, slim nozzle and a fridge brush to eliminate all the dust and particles. Ensure not to distort or damage the cooling fins.
  • Insert the brush between the coils, ensuring a thorough clean. Use a cloth to remove dust from surfaces.
  • Reattach the cover and reconnect the power cord of the refrigerator.

A refrigerator will keep working even if it struggles to reach the right cooling level. It runs more often when you fill it with food, when you open the door too much, or when the kitchen gets warm.

Typical causes
  • People often leave the door ajar.
  • the condenser coils require cleansing
  • the door isn’t sealing properly with the fridge unit
  • the temperature setting for the cold control is excessively low
  • an obstruction is hindering the circulation of cool air within the refrigerator.
Check the thermostat

If there is frost at the top of a frost-free refrigerator, the thermostat probably has a problem. This holds when someone sets the cold control low.

Turn the cold control both up and down

If the compressor doesn’t turn off, it could damage the cold control. If that happens, it’s time to call the fridge repair experts.

Check the condenser coils

These coils release heat from the refrigerator into the room with a fan. If the coils are dirty, the fridge won’t work well. Clean the coils often to prevent this, as mentioned above.

Your fridge should be able to maintain its temperature as set by the temperature controls.

Your fridge most likely has
  • dirty condenser coils
  • a door that does not seal tightly
  • defective temperature controls
Smelly Fridge

If your refrigerator smells bad, even after taking out all the questionable food, unplug it. Then, take out the drawers and shelves. Clean them with soap and water. Also, clean the drip tray underneath the refrigerator (if it has one); it can become moldy.

Rattling Fridge

Vibrating noises usually come from loose parts. These can include loose condenser coils, rattling compressor tubing, or uneven rollers and feet on the floor. Look for any loose part and tighten it with a wrench or screwdriver.

You can also check the feet at the front of the unit to ensure they all bear the appliance’s weight. Turn the adjustable feet up or down, so they contact the floor squarely.
