Top fridge problems – From Ottawa’s Best Fridge Repair Company
Appliances like refrigerators have become more and more advanced over the years. Unfortunately, even though some great progress has been made in terms of technology, fridges still break down. Whether it's a minor problem or something more serious, it's important to have it taken care of promptly to avoid further damage. Here are some of the top fridge problems that you may encounter.
Fridge Strange noises
When you buy a new fridge, you will notice that it makes some noise. The sound of the refrigerator motor running is absolutely normal, but anything louder than this could be cause for concern. Strange or loud noises are often the first sign of a problem which means that they should always be taken seriously. As Ottawa's Premier Appliance Repair Company, we see and fix this particular issue on a daily basis.
The Fridge is cycling too often
The motor on your fridge is designed to run through several cycles each day. The motor will run whenever the temperature increases. Of course, if there are any problems with the thermostat, condenser, or a build of debris, it could result in constant cycling. This will increase your electric bill and place added pressure on your fridge motor. This is another fridge problem that should be addressed by a qualified professional.
My Fridge is not getting cold ?!?
The whole point of having a fridge is to keep your food cool and fresh. If your fridge does not maintain a low enough temperature, your food could spoil. The first thing you should check is the temperature setting on your fridge. If there are no problems to be found, you might need to have somebody check the motor, thermostat, or similar parts responsible for temperature control.
Fridge Leaking water
There are few things worse than noticing that your fridge is leaking. Apart from the obvious fact that there's a problem with your fridge, you will also need to deal with the water all over your floor. When your fridge leaks, if could be due to a blockage in the drainage system or even worn valves. If the fridge doors are no longer closing properly, it can also cause water to build up and spill onto the floor.
Fridge Food freezing
If your fridge gets too cold and you notice that your food is starting to freeze instead of just remaining chilled, then it could mean that there's a problem with the thermostat. Of course, this is not the only possible problem. When the damper gets stuck, for example, it can also result in freezing. Call a professional right away to have the problem diagnosed and repaired. Also, remember that you should never let any food rest against the back of your fridge since this can also result in frozen food.
When you notice any of these problems, it's important to remember that prompt repairs will help minimize any further damage that could occur if you wait. Call Capital Appliance Repair at (613) 454-1577 for same-day fridge repairs you can rely on.
