Before you
call out a repairman from United Appliance Inc. there are a few things you can
do to ensure you aren’t just wasting time and money on a small issue. It is essential
that you learn the inner-workings of your refrigerator so that you can save
costs in the long run as well as properly maintain your refrigerator to give it
a longer lifespan.
So before
you pick up that phone to request our refrigerator repair, Los Angeles
Is Your
Refrigerator too Noisy?
If your
refrigerator is excessively noisy it usually means that one of the fan motors
inside the machine is faulty or overworked and needs replacing. Luckily fans
are easily replaced.
If it isn’t
the fans making all the noise, then it may unfortunately be the compressor
which is bad news because this means you may need a new refrigerator.
Is your
Refrigerator Leaking?
All
refrigerators have drip trays on the underside and on occasion, these drip
trays can break and a small hole may appear which causes water to leak out onto
your floor. There may also be a blocked drain which you need to locate and
unclog. This is a fairly easy process though.
Has your
Refrigerator stopped Cooling?
This can be
caused by a number of things.
- A knocked dial – Somebody may have accidentally
knocked the dial onto the highest setting, making the refrigerator much
warmer than usual.
- Broken door seals – In time, all door seals become
worn and may break in places. This means that the seals which previously
kept cool air in are now allowing cool air out and warm air in causing
your refrigerator to cool unevenly.
- Broken fan or clogged coils – Check the fan on the bottom of
your refrigerator to see if it is still running or not, it may need
replacing. If the fan is running okay, then the coils on the bottom may be
clogged with dust and debris. Simply clear the dust off the coils and this
should improve the efficiency of your refrigerator.
Has the
Light Stopped Working?
If you find
that the light isn’t turning on when you open your refrigerator door, it could
be that the outlet is not working properly. A fuse could have blown, knocking
out the outlets in that section of your kitchen and if your fridge was the
cause of the blown fuse, your refrigerator could be the only appliance
affected. This happens more than you might think. If the outlet is fine, it is
probably time to replace the light bulb.
