Dependable Refrigerator and Freezer Repairs and Services

Rapid Food Spoilage

Excess Frost and Ice Build-Up

Another sign of trouble is when there is excess frost and ice build-up in your freezer. Most modern refrigerators or freezers have an automatic defrosting feature to prevent keep frost and ice build-up. This feature can sometimes fail. Excessive frost and ice build-up is a problem you should have your service technician check out as soon as possible.

Excess Condensation

Condensation occurs when moisture trapped in warm air condenses from a vapor to a liquid once the air is cool enough. Condensation is a natural part of the refrigeration process that helps keep your food fresh. Your refrigerator normally deals with small amounts of condensation. Door and seal failure can cause your refrigerator to sweat on the inside, resulting in water pooling at the bottom of the unit. Excess condensation on the outside of the refrigerator can also leave behind unsightly water puddles around the unit.

Unusually Loud Noises

Excessive noise is another indicator that something's gone wrong with your refrigerator. If you can clearly hear your refrigerator buzzing or humming from across the kitchen, have the refrigerator checked out before other problems develop.

Excessive Energy Consumption

Refrigerators built within the last few decades were designed with energy efficiency in mind. If your refrigerator suddenly starts using more electricity than usual, it could be a sign of trouble. Worn-out or malfunctioning parts can cause a sudden spike in energy consumption for your fridge, resulting in an unpleasant surprise in your monthly utility bill.

Excessive Heat

Your refrigerator's compressor and coils generate plenty of heat under normal operation. This heat is usually limited to the rear of the refrigerator. However, if the sides or front of your fridge feels warm or hot to the touch, you may be dealing with an overheating issue.
