When it comes to diagnosing problems with your fridge, some issues are easier to solve than others. For instance, if your fridge light doesn’t work, it’s pretty safe to assume that you simply need the light bulb changed. But problems with your refrigeration compressor are a bit harder to solve. That’s why we’re here to help.

What’s the Problem with Your Refrigerator Compressor?

The fan stops working.

Your compressor fan is responsible for helping keep your refrigerator cool and prevent it from overheating. If that stops, your fridge will become a lot warmer than it should and could potentially shut down if the problem isn’t fixed.

The compressor clicks on and off.

If you’re compressor is constantly clicking on and off, you could have a problem with your start relay or your compressor could be overloading. Since it’s an electrical issue, we don’t recommend trying to fix this yourself. Instead, call a refrigerator repair service — like us!

The fridge isn’t cool enough.

A warm fridge is one of the biggest and most apparent signs that your have a problem with your refrigerator compressor. The problem could be with the compressor motor, and this needs to be tested to check if it’s malfunctioning. Since most compressors have a capacity, it’s best to call the professionals for this issue.

There are some noises that won’t surprise you if they’re coming from your kitchen: the coffee pot going to work at 6 A.M., the vent fan running on high as the non-chef in the family tries to cook, and little whispers coming from the kids as they try to sneak late-night snacks. But there are definitely sounds that make you nervous. If your fridge is making noise, your worry level should depend on what you’re hearing.

Why Your Fridge is Making Noise

Vibrating

• Reason: You fridge may not be level, causing it to vibrate against the area it’s sitting.
• Fix: Adjust the legs or leveling screws to be in line with the floor. If the fridge is on a platform, make sure the platform itself is level to the ground.

Buzzing

• Reason: You may hear buzzing coming from your fridge when the water inlet valve opens and closes to feed water into your ice maker.
• Fix: If your fridge is not connected to a water line, turn off your ice maker.

Clicking

• Reason: Your water inlet valve may also click when dispensing water to your ice maker.
• Fix: Again, if your fridge is not connected to a water inlet valve, switch your ice maker to “off.”

Rattling

• Reason: Rattling usually happens when the water lines move against your refrigerator cabinet or any items on top of your refrigerator.
• Fix: Take anything on top of the fridge off, or secure the water lines so they stop rattling.

Squealing:

• Reason: You compressor fan motor may emit a squealing sounds as air passes over the fan.
• Fix: If this continues to occur, you’ll need to have your fan motor checked and potentially repaired.

We’re guessing that when it comes to your freezer, you don’t think there’s a way you can do things wrong. However, that’s not exactly true. There are a lot of little things you can do wrong when it comes to how you treat your freezer. To skip the consequences, make sure to avoid the biggest mistakes you can make with your freezer.

Biggest Mistakes You Can Make with Your Freezer

Your temperature is too high.

Your freezer should be kept at a max of 0°F, sometimes even less than that. Anything above 0° will cause your freezer to not function properly and not keep your food frozen.  

Your freezer is too empty.

When you have a good amount of food in your freezer, it keeps the cold air inside when you open it. An empty freezer allows colder to escape and makes your unit work harder than it has to stay at a consistent temperature.

You lose food in your freezer.

If you end up finding random items of food in your freezer, you’re not packing things right, and that can lead to a big mess.

You’re freezing food too late.

The sooner you freeze food, the fresher it will stay. As soon as you’re done cooking something and it has cooled, put it in the freezer to maintain its freshness.

You’re defrosting food at room temperature.

Taking food straight out of your freezer and thawing it on your countertop can allow bacteria to grow as the food warms. Instead, let food thaw out in your refrigerator.

Back-to-school time means a lot of things for your family. For the kids, it probably means that the summer fun is over, and they’re a little sad to sit in a classroom all day again.
