Refrigerator Repairs
It's not recommended that you attempt refrigerator repairs on your own. Most refrigerator repairs tend to involve complicated procedures that are left best to professionals. However, if you are very confident about your DIY repair skills, you can attempt some basic repairs. Make sure that you cut off all power supply to the refrigerator before attempting any repairs. Failure to do so can result in injuries that can be fatal. If your refrigerator refuses to run, confirm that it has stopped by checking the light inside, or the sound coming from the motor or fan. Make sure that the refrigerator is receiving power. You can check by plugging a lamp into the refrigerator's power outlet.
If the refrigerator isn't cooling, check to see if it has completely stopped, and if it has not, make sure that the thermostat is turned to the right setting. If not, reset the thermostat now. Cooling problems can also occur because of problems with the compressor motor, which is located on the outside near the bottom of the refrigerator. If the compressor continues to hum, the problem may be linked to something else, and a qualified refrigerator technician must be called. Poor cooling can also occur because of heavy accumulation of frost on the evaporator coils. The refrigerator has a self defrosting mechanism, and if there are problems in the system, the appliance will continue its cooling function. This can cause frost build up on the evaporator coil. To check if this is the problem, remove perishables from the refrigerator, turn the thermostat knob to the off position, and leave the refrigerator doors open for about 24 hours, allowing defrosting to take place. When all the frost has been melted, turn the knob back to your normal setting.
Refrigerator repairs can be expensive, and often replacing your refrigerator can seem more cost effective than costly refrigerator repairs to your unit. If your refrigerator is close to 15 years old or older, consider replacing your refrigerator. In case of a relatively new refrigerator, check if the problem is covered in the warranty. Always make sure that you ask the refrigerator repair man what the total cost of repairs will be, and compare it with the cost of a new refrigerator. Before considering replacing the refrigerator, consider the cost of removing your existing appliance and disposing of it properly. Also, remember that not all new refrigerator models are more energy efficient. The kind of energy savings you may have with a new refrigerator may not be substantial.
