It can always be a frustrating problem when your refrigerator is having cooling problems, but finding a repairman to fix it doesn’t have to be a frustrating process. The first step is to try and identify what the problem is or where it is coming from, as it can be any number of parts that are not functioning properly or that have broken down that is causing the cooling problem. Once you figure out the cause of the malfunction for your fridge, then you will have some idea of how to go about fixing it. Whether you want to call a local appliance repair company to assist you or if you want to go ahead and order the necessary refrigerator repair parts and replace and install them yourself.
Few tips to help you identify cooling refrigerator problems:
If there is a cooling problem with your fridge, then there are a few checks that you can do to help you visually determine the type of refrigeration repairs that you will need. For example, you could check to see if there is something that could be blocking one of the fridge’s fans, your refrigerator normally has 2 different fans, an evaporator fan that is located in the freezer and a condenser fan that is located on the bottom of the refrigerator. If there is something blocking any of these fans, then that basically means that the mechanisms could be shutting off because it is overheating as it is not getting enough airflow to function properly.
You should also take a look at the condenser itself, which is located towards the back of the fridge, this is important because if you have a condenser that is dirty it could cause the refrigerator mechanism to also overheat and this could cause the compressor to shut down for a few moments until it is cool enough to operate at safe levels. If your fridge is left to cut off and on like this for long periods of time, then it will not function efficiently and as a result it will not cool properly. If everything looks good with the condenser, then go ahead and take a look inside your freezer to see if you see a large build up of frost inside there, excessive build-up of frost could indicate that you have several problems with your defrost heater, the defrost control or the defrost thermostat, if any one of these devices are not functioning properly then it can affect the entire cooling process.
You can definitely fix any of these problems on your own if you are familiar with different home appliances and have worked with a few of them in the past and you can even refer to your owner’s manual to help you troubleshoot and fix your appliance. Cleaning a condenser coil or fixing a blocked fan is no hard task for Do-it-yourself enthusiasts so that they can get their refrigeration system back up and running in no time. Now if you have to fix the electrical components that are part of the defrost thermostat, defrost control or defrost heater, then you will need a little more knowledge and know-how. Unless of course you have some type of electrical or appliance repair training, if not, this type of repair is best left for an affordable Refrigerator Repair technician.
If any of the problems we describe makes you unsure about how to even begin fixing or diagnosing the problem, then please do call a reliable appliance repair company. It is always a better idea to just call someone that is experienced in fixing these problems safely and quickly, instead of you messing around with it and making it worst. There are several reasons why your fridge could stop working properly, so if you start to realize that your food is spoiling or it is not staying cold long enough when you just took it out of the fridge, then try some of the recommendations we discussed above, this way when you call the fridge repairman, you can give him a lot more information, as well as it could be something you could fix on your own easily, such as cleaning a dirty condenser.
But for electrical component problems like a bad thermostat, you will be better off calling an affordable refrigerator technician.
