A fridge freezer in Evesham could really come in handy for freezing ready-made meals and storing food at set temperatures. However, unless you take the time to clean the coils and check the seals on a regular basis, the refrigerator may die. You could visit a supplier and purchase a brand new appliance or you could spend less and simply get the machine fixed. Before you call a professional to inspect the appliance, make sure the problem is not fixable on your behalf by familiarising yourself with the following common fridge freezer faults.
Accumulation of Water in the Base
Spend a few minutes every week or so to check that water has not accumulated in the base of the fridge freezer in Evesham. If you notice water build-up, this could be a sign of a temperature problem and may indicate that the fridge freezer is defrosting. Unless your food is stored at the right temperature, your health could be in jeopardy, so it’s important that you take the issue of water accumulation seriously. The drainer tube might be blocked with debris and you can use a coat hanger or to dislodge this debris. Be careful not to puncture the tube and if problems continue, buy replacement parts or arrange for repairs to be completed.
Appliance Makes Unusual Noise
It’s not uncommon for a fridge freezer in Evesham to make a noise when it is functioning. However, if you notice any unusual noises or sounds that are louder than normal, it’s a good idea to hire professional help. When the compressor pump mounting becomes loose it will vibrate and hit the side of the unit. Use bolts or screws to tighten the compressor pump mounting after disconnecting the machine from the main supply of power. If this doesn’t solve the problem, consider buying a new appliance from a trusted supplier.
Temperature Too Hot or Cold
A fridge freezer in Evesham should be able to maintain temperature well, therefore inconsistencies will indicate an underlying problem. There are a few ways in which you can troubleshoot this problem, such as by checking the thermostat accuracy, defrosting the fridge to reduce frost build-up, checking the door seal for leaks and getting the thermostat fixed by a repairer who is qualified and experienced.
