Why Isn’t My Refrigerator Keeping Things Cold?
Since a fridge’s sole purpose is keeping things at an appropriately cool temperature, it is a major problem when refrigerated food feels lukewarm to the touch. But what causes the problem in the first place? One of the most frequent issues is an electrical surge. A surge of high voltage can often damage the compressor or ice maker. However, lack of maintenance is another common culprit. With dirty condenser coils, a fridge can work as well as it should. Let our techs examine the issue and provide the right repair.
Common Causes of a Refrigerator Breakdown
Refrigerators can break down for many reasons. Here are some of the most common causes that we encounter.
The thermostat is not functioning correctly. This malfunction can cause the refrigerator to be too warm or too cold.
Dirty or clogged condenser coils can also impact a refrigerator’s performance. This problem usually results in higher energy bills and a shorter lifespan for the appliance.
A faulty evaporator fan motor can cause a lack of airflow, leading to improper cooling and eventual breakdown.
Likewise, a malfunctioning compressor can make a refrigerator stop cooling altogether.
Our Refrigeration Repair Process
Our experienced technicians begin by thoroughly inspecting the appliance and determining the source of the issue. Next, we disconnect the fridge from any electrical connections. This step prevents any accidental shocks.
Next, we give you a detailed explanation before offering our repair recommendations. Most often, repairs involve replacing or fixing a part. In some cases, the fridge cannot be repaired and requires a full replacement. Our team is honest and upfront in these situations. We never try to upsell our clients or make them pay for something they don’t need.
Once you authorize the repair, our team completes the approved work and verifies equipment operation before wrapping up the visit.
