Taking Care of your Refrigerator

Hello World!  Welcome Friends!  Your refrigerator is one of the most important appliances in your kitchen, so you need to make sure that it is working properly. This means being able to recognize when you should call Sub Zero Repair Service or another company that can handle refrigerator repairs. Here are a few signs that it is time to make that call.

You Don’t Notice Your Refrigerator Running

Even though a good refrigerator should be barely noticeable when it runs, you should still hear a faint hum when you open the refrigerator door. If you don’t hear this, the unit isn’t running like it should and may need to be repaired. The light on the inside of the refrigerator should also turn on when you open the door. While that light could just burn out without harming the rest of the refrigerator, it could be an indicator that there is something wrong.

There is a Buildup of Frost

Your refrigerator isn’t supposed to get cold enough to create a buildup of frost on the inside. If you notice frost on the evaporator coils, the temperature inside the refrigerator is too cold and should be adjusted. Too much frost buildup can affect the overall temperature of your refrigerator.

You Have Higher Energy Bills than Usual

A higher energy bill can be an indicator of many things, from a thermostat that is turned up too high to lights that are left on all day. Of course, it is sometimes caused by appliances that aren’t working as efficiently as they should. This isn’t a definite indicator that their is something wrong with your refrigerator, but if it coincides with other signs, then it might be time to have your fridge checked out.

Temperatures Aren’t Where They Should Be

The temperature in your refrigerator should remain consistent; it should never be so cold that your food freezes, nor should it be so warm that your leftovers spoil quickly before you have a chance to eat them. If you notice that your food either doesn’t keep like it should or it looks like it was left in the freezer, you almost certainly have a problem that needs to be addressed.

Your Refrigerator Leaks Water

This is largely an issue associated with refrigerators with attached freezers, but in any case it is common enough to be worth mentioning. If your refrigerator or freezer malfunctions enough that you see a puddle of water, it will need to be either repaired or replaced. If your refrigerator has a dispenser for filtered water, there might be a problem with the plumbing instead of the refrigerator’s temperature. Neither scenario is a welcome one, so contact a repair professional to take care of the problem.

As with many issues relating to a malfunctioning appliance, problems with your refrigerator may develop gradually, especially if you have an older unit. You probably won’t wake up one morning and find a puddle underneath a fridge full of spoiled food, but you might notice that the motor doesn’t run as softly as it should. If you have any doubts in your mind that your refrigerator isn’t working like it should, don’t hesitate to contact a refrigerator repair service.
