The appliance is making weird noises
Verify all parts which you can fix by hand. For example, temperature settings. You could put the highest/lowest temperature just by accident. Set the usual temperature.
Pay attention on the state of the gasket. It should be fitted properly not to let the air out. Clean the gasket with water and sponge to remove any debris.
The unleveled refrigerator can be the cause of why the door doesn’t open or close. You should adjust the levelling legs in the following manner: the front legs should be higher than the back ones. In such a position your refrigerator will function more effectively.
The clogged and dirty coils is one of the most common reasons of the fridge issues. The refrigerator won’t cool properly since debris, hair and dust that accumulate on the coils make it work more intensively. Disconnect your appliance from the power, thoroughly rub the coils and rinse them with water. You can also use the vacuum cleaner to ease the cleaning process.
Owners of cats and dogs should clean the fridge coils more often – 6-7 times a year. Beware that the uncleaned coils can make a considerable influence on the amount of your electric bill – be ready to pay more.
Inconsistent icemaker
Learn the characteristic features of your ice maker. Make sure the ice maker takes about 90 minutes to produce a new batch. The next part you are to check is the water filter. You can find it inside of the fridge compartment. Clean the clogged filter or replace it, if it is defective. Follow the instructions described in the appliance user manual to fulfil the proper fixing.
Call for repairs
If you are still confused with unusual noises or inappropriate heat inside of your fridge, apply to professionals. The highly qualified technicians will quickly make a correct diagnosis of the problem. Just don’t postpone the solution of the trouble since it usually makes the situation more complicated.
When should I replace my appliance?
Sometimes there is the sense to follow the unspoken rule: The appliance is not worth of repair, if the repair cost equals the half the cost of the new appliance. Just calculate how much funds you spend for annual repair services. The decision to replace your appliance or not will be pretty obvious.
Conclusion
Keep in mind that most solutions are given in the appliance user manuals. So, you are always free to detect the problem by yourself. At least, it is the most rational and fastest way to find out what is wrong with your appliance.
