Technical
jargon can be confusing in a lot of industries – refrigeration is
no exception. This glossary makes it easy to understand terms
commonly used when talking about refrigerators.

Adjustable Shelving: the
ability to remove the shelves in your refrigerator and place them in
different levels. This flexibility allows for the storage of large or
odd-shaped items.

Auto Defrost:
automatically prevents the
buildup of ice on the back of the refrigerator by heating the back
wall for a short period of time to melt any ice that may have formed.
The water is usually drained through a duct in the back.

Compressor: essentially
the heart of your refrigerator. A low pressure gas is pumped into the
compressor, which compresses it into a high pressure gas, raising its
temperature. The gas is then moved to the condenser for the next step
of the refrigeration cycle.

Condenser: the
heat exchanger of the refrigerator. The condenser removes the heat
from the gas and condenses it into a liquid refrigerant which, with
the help of some other parts, keeps the inside of your refrigerator
cold.

Crisper Drawer: drawers,
usually located on the bottom of the fresh food section of your
refrigerator, with adjustable humidity settings to keep your produce
fresh for as long as possible.

Digital Display: a
small screen on the inside of some refrigerators which displays the
temperature.

Door Gasket: the
rubber strip found on the inside of your refrigerator door. The
gasket acts as a seal to minimize heat exchange between the inside of
the refrigerator and the rest of your kitchen.

Drain Pan: located
out of sight next to the compressor, the drain pain collects water
produced during the defrost cycle of your refrigerator.

Energy Rating: an
industry standard rating ranging from A-G which indicates how much
energy your refrigerator consumes when operating normally.

Ice Maker: a
device located in the freezer compartment of some models which
receives water from the inlet valve, freezes it into ice cubes, and
automatically fills the ice bin.

Leveling Legs: adjustable
legs located at the base of your refrigerator to allow it to maintain
level on uneven surfaces.

Manual Defrost:
refrigerators without an
auto-defrost feature must be manually defrosted to remove any ice
that has built up. The process of manually defrosting a refrigerator
requires the user to unplug it from the wall and wait for the ice to
melt.

Multi-Zone Cooling: A
feature which allows for multiple zones in your refrigerator to be
set to different temperatures. This is primarily used for cooling
wines and chilling small items (such as soda cans) quickly.

Noise Level: Measured
in dBs, the noise level specifies how loud or quiet your refrigerator
will be when running.

Reversible Door: the
ability for the hinges on your refrigerator doors to be located on
either the left or right side.

Thermostat: a
temperature-triggered switch which toggles the compressor on and off
to maintain the desired temperature inside the refrigerator.

Ways to Save Energy on Your Second Refrigerator

October 15, 2014Uncategorizedenergy saving tips, how to save energy, refrigerator repairs long island, refrigerator repairs queens, refrigerator service long island, refrigerator tips, ways to save energy on second fridgeadmin

Do you
find yourself always running out of space in your refrigerator?
Sometimes, the model in your kitchen simply isn’t spacious enough to
meet the needs of your family. It is not uncommon for houses to have
a second refrigerator – maybe it is time for you to invest in one
too. Before you pull the trigger on your purchase, first make sure it
is necessary. In addition to several hundred dollars up front, a
second refrigerator can cost up to $100 a year to operate. If you
decide to buy one, use these tips to save yourself some money.

Buy an Energy Star model

First
and foremost, buy a refrigerator which is Energy Star certified. The
Energy Star label is given to the most energy efficient products by
the EPA. You can find a list of their most efficient products here.
These models may have a more expensive price tag, but they will save
you money in the long run by consuming less energy than non-certified
models.

Keep it out of the garage

Many
families like to keep their second refrigerator in the garage because
of the extra space, but that is one of the worst places you can put
it. An unconditioned garage presents a few problems. Firstly, the
temperature gets very high during the summer, which in turn makes the
refrigerator work harder than normal, which leads to a higher energy
bill. Even worse, if your garage gets too hot or too cold, it can
affect the refrigerator’s internal thermostat and your food can warm
to unsafe temperatures, causing you to throw away or unknowingly eat
your spoiled food.

Don’t buy more than you
need

Before
taking a trip to the local appliance store, think about how much
space you will need in your second refrigerator. More space may be
luxurious, but it also requires more energy to cool. Buying a bigger
fridge than needed also hinders your refrigerators cooling
performance. Failing to consistently keep your refrigerator at least
halfway full will result in the loss of much more cold air when the
door is opened. These fluctuations can lead to prematurely spoiled
food and, once again, a higher electric bill.

decisions. It is also important to make smart decisions when looking

4 Common Refrigerator Headaches and How to Fix Them

September 30, 2014Uncategorizedcommon refrigerator fixes, common refrigerator problems, how to fix refrigerator, long island freezer repair, refrigerator repairs long island, refrigerator repairs queens, refrigerator service long islandadmin

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
own by clicking here.

refrigerator is having a problem that you are unable to solve on your
own, 24/7 Refrigerator Service is here to help. Serving Long Island
and Queens for over 60 years, we provide excellent customer service
