4 Common Refrigerator Headaches and How to Fix Them

Refrigerators
have been referred to as the most important innovation in the history
of food because of how much easier they make our daily lives. This is
true 99% of the time, but when they break they make our lives harder.
Luckily, many refrigeration issues can be solved quickly without
leaving your house. We discuss four of these problems in this
article. For everything not covered here, you can call 24/7
Refrigerator Service.

The refrigerator is on,
but is warm.
Check
the temperature control setting located on the inside of your
refrigerator. It is possible that your preference was adjusted
recently, especially if you have young children in your house. If the
temperature control is at it’s normal setting, make sure that your
refrigerator is at least 3-6 inches away from the wall to allow for
proper air flow. If this is not the problem, your refrigerator may be
over-stuffed. A fully packed refrigerator cuts down on the internal
circulation of cold air and can cause warm spots in the fridge.
My refrigerator is very
noisy.
If you
have a frost-free refrigerator and are hearing popping noises, this
could actually be a sign that your refrigerator is working properly.
The defrost heater commonly pops and hisses when it is activated. If
this is not the case, the most likely culprit is the evaporator fan
motor, located in your freezer. Open your freezer door and see if the
noise gets louder. If it does, you will need to replace the
evaporator fan. If the noise does not get louder, contact 24/7
Refrigerator Service because it is due to the condenser fan or the
compressor.
The refrigerator has been
running for hours straight.
First,
ask yourself if you or anyone who uses your refrigerator has adjusted
the temperature settings within the past 24 hours, as it is not
uncommon for a fridge to take this long to cool down. It is also
common for a refrigerator to continuously run if you are in a very
humid location. If neither of these things apply to you, there a few
things you can do. First, vacuum the condenser coils located on the
back of the refrigerator. If this doesn’t work, test your door’s
seals. To do this, close the fridge door on a piece of paper. If the
paper is easy to remove or slide up and down, you have a faulty seal.
It is a quick, cheap, and easy fix, just call your local appliance
repair service with the model information of your refrigerator.
My refrigerator is
running fine, but the light bulb will not turn on.
If your
refrigerator is running, but the light refuses to turn on, there are
two solutions. First and foremost, replace the light bulb. If there
is still no light, even with the new bulb, it is likely that the
problem is caused by a faulty door switch. You can call a local
appliance repair specialist or learn how to test the switch on your
