Temperature Control Issues
Temperature control issues can be an indication that a refrigeration system is in decline, with variable temperatures likely reflective of this. Drastic changes in temperature are likely to damage products, affect processes and halt the progress of important tasks, so getting these issues rectified by a trusted repair professional is advisable. Thermostat issues are easy to diagnose, but refrigerator leaks and broken compressors will always need to be dealt with by specialists.
Fan Failure
The refrigerator fan is an essential component which helps to maintain a consistent temperature, so if the fan fails, temperatures may become erratic. Fan failure may be due to an obstruction within the system, such as dust build up or stray objects. Other options are that the motor may be defective or there could be an ongoing issue with the fan’s power supply which requires maintenance.
Odd Noises
There are many reasons why odd noises may be coming from a refrigerator, and it should always be making a very soft humming sound. If you haven’t noticed a sound for years and suddenly you start to hear the motor, this is unlikely to be good news. Malfunctioning motors that run needlessly can also increase your energy bills, so this is something to consider if you notice anything uncharacteristic.
Flooding
One of the more obvious signs that a refrigerator unit is faulty will be if it begins to flood or excess water is forming around the appliance. If you notice water on the floor or damp patches forming on walls and surfaces, be sure to call Mitchell’s repair professionals right away. To prevent this from happening, consider pulling your fridge out twice annually to clean under it and check.
