Choosing Appliances You Will Adore

When it comes to appliances, most people have a tendency to pay more attention to anything else when they shop: price. Unfortunately, finding cheap appliances doesn't always mean you will find good appliances. As an income property owner, I have purchased several different appliances over the years, and I can tell you first hand that not all brands are created equal. My blog is dedicated to helping you to find appliances that you will actually be able to use, abuse, and love for a long time.

3 Signs That Your Refrigerator Needs To Be Professionally Repaired

by Melanie Hanson

It is important to make sure that your refrigerator is always running in the best manner possible. After all, you might have spent a lot of money on the food that is in there and would hate to see it all go to waste. Therefore, you want to stay mindful of the following three signs that your refrigerator needs to be professionally repaired.

Extra Ice Is Forming

Sure, the freezer may occasionally get some ice formations if the temperature is set too low. However, it should never be found in your fresh food compartments. If you notice too much ice formations in the freezer section or any at all within your fresh food compartments, you want to call a professional appliance repair technician. He or she will be able to determine the root cause of the problem, which could be something as simple as a bad thermostat, and have it fixed in no time at all.

Faulty Sealing System

The sealing system, also referred to as the gasket system, needs to be in the best shape as possible at all times. This is to prevent the eventual failure of the compressor motor. So, take a quick look around the refrigerator doors. Does the rubber sealing strip feel brittle? Is it cracked? When you shut the door, does the door easily seal on its own without you have to put any force behind it? If you are finding that there is a problem with the sealing system, you need to have it replaced. Your professional refrigerator repair technician will bring out a new strip and ensure that it is properly adhering to the doors.

You Start To Hear Strange Sounds

It is completely normal to hear a small sound when the compressor motor occasionally kicks on. However, if this seems to be happening a lot more lately, or you are hearing a lot of unfamiliar clunking, banging, or popping sounds, you need to hire a professional quickly. It could be that there is a problem with the motor or fan. Either way, your skilled refrigerator repair technician should have little trouble correcting the issue for you.

As you can see, you should have little trouble spotting the need for some refrigerator repairs. Just make sure that you are acting fast. After all, you spent a fair amount of money on the refrigerator, perhaps at a place like Shore TV and Appliance, and the longer you allow the problems to persist, the more likely it is that the refrigerator will eventually completely fail before its time.
