When To Repair Or Replace Your Broken Refrigerator

ByUrban Repairing

A broken refrigerator can stop your day. Your plan suddenly shifts from spending time with your family to trying to steer clear of thawed frozen desserts and finding a short-term solution for all those groceries that need refrigerating.

This can involve replacing major parts and can lead to a hefty refrigerator service bill if refrigerator issues are involved. Homeowners are then faced with a dilemma: should it be repaired or replaced?

When To Call Refrigerator Repair Service

Some issues that seem to be significant problems are often fixed. Several of the most common refrigerator service problems are:

  • Doors not sealing properly
  • The machine is not making ice
  • Water dispenser not working
  • A noisy fan
  • The fresh foods section not cooling

Condensation Or Frost

If you’ve experienced any of the above, have your fridge inspected before calling in a refrigerator repair service. Make sure the appliance is plugged in all the way or that the breaker is not tipped. Vacuum the coils, replace the filter, and move items away from the air ducts.

When To Exchange Your Refrigerator

We recommend that we replace your refrigerator if the repair costs half the cost of replacing the fridge. The lifespan of the fridge is also an element –   if the appliance is reaching its lifespan of ten years or more, it is better to upgrade to a more modern model.

There Are Some Visible Signs That Would Prompt Replacement:

  • A bang coming from the compressor.
  • The freezer is not cooling at least.
  • The motor is running continuously.

Tips To Extend The Life Of Your Fridge

Dealing with a bad fridge isn’t fun, and so the costs related to the repair or replacement of a refrigerator are often stressful. To help prevent premature breakdown and keep your equipment running efficiently:

  • Keep the refrigerator coil clean with the rock bottom or rear of your appliance
  • Limit fridge door opening time
  • Avoid overloading the fridge
  • Make sure items in the fridge don’t block the internal air vents
  • Clean the door gaskets so they seal properly
  • Call the expert as soon as you notice even the smallest problem
