How to Know When Your Refrigerator Needs Repair

3/31/2016

4 Comments

 
Your refrigerator can hold hundreds of dollars of food on any given day. That food is an investment that can spoil if the appliance isn’t properly functioning. Although you may call Savannah Appliance to your home several times a year, you should also be a detective and observe this critical appliance between appointments. How do you know when your refrigerator is about to break down? Take a look at a few symptoms that the appliance can present before the food spoils.

Buzzing Sound Growing Louder


Your refrigerator will make some sounds during its normal operation because of the compressor and other components. However, you shouldn’t hear a persistent buzzing that seems to emanate throughout the home. Several issues can be at play when you hear buzzing. The compressor may be failing and simply making a loud sound because of that breakdown process. Your cooling fan might be dirty and spinning with an uneven angle. Your technician can locate the buzzing source and fix it before the appliance experiences further issues.

Leaks From the Base

​
A leaking refrigerator is one of the most obvious signs of distress. You might see a leak suddenly appear on the floor as you open the refrigerator door. These leaks usually originate from the reservoir at the appliance’s base. Condensation that should evaporate or drain away might become trapped with clogged hoses and pipes. Technicians will clear any blockages and alleviate this leaking issue.

Warm Interior

Open the refrigerator door, and you’re greeted by warm air instead of a chilled atmosphere. Immediately check the thermostat. This knob or button is often inadvertently touched as people access the food. It may just be set too low. If it’s properly set, your temperature sensors might need adjustment or replacement. Close the door and call a technician in this case. Preserve any cool air in the refrigerator by keeping it closed until the thermostat can be repaired. You’ll preserve your groceries with this strategy.

Hot Air From Rear

You may feel extremely hot air flowing out from the refrigerator’s backside. Consider a call to a professional if this situation arises because several issues can be causing the hot air. Technicians may need to clean the evaporator coils or service the motor, for example.

Icy Freezer Conditions

The freezer is malfunctioning if ice is accumulating on the walls at a rapid pace. If your defrost feature won’t fix this issue, a technician needs to evaluate other parts. Sensors and other components might be failing. Don’t chip away at the ice, however. After a technician fixes the issue, the ice should slowly dissipate.

Most refrigerators can be repaired for little cost when the problems are discovered early on. However, an appliance older than 10 years might be a candidate for replacement. When you hire Savannah Appliance Repair will discuss the options with you so that a smart decision can be made. Protect your groceries with frequent refrigerator care, and you’ll never have a food emergency occur within the household.

What Our Clients Are Saying

I highly recommend Savannah Appliance Repair. Scheduling the appointment was easy, simple and they were able to fit me in the next business day. The technician was very polite and professional. He diagnosed the problem and was able to fix my dryer in about 30 minutes. I will use this company again if needed.
