However, it\u2019s worth knowing that it is\na very hard-working appliance, and one that involves many perishable parts that\ncan break or have a limited lifetime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most common <strong>refrigerator problems<\/strong> may be fixable by yourself in some cases, but it is recommended that you call a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northlondonappliancerepairs.co.uk\/domestic-appliances\/fridge-freezer.html\">fridge freezer repair company<\/a> as they will be able to send an engineer who can accurately assess the problem, and fix it if possible. The following are the most commonly reported problems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Refrigerator is leaking<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>It will not operate<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>The compartment is too warm<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>The compartment is too cold<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>The fridge is noisy<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>It is running constantly<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each of the above may have a number of causes, so let\u2019s talk in more detail about each one in turn so you can get an idea of what the problem may be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Leaking Refrigerator<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tell-tale sign of a <strong>leaking refrigerator<\/strong> is that pool of water on the floor either under or around the appliance. You are likely to notice it very quickly, so it\u2019s not one you can really miss. There are a number of problems that are associated with a <strong>leaking fridge<\/strong>, but first, before you call out an engineer check that nothing inside the fridge \u2013 a bottle of milk or water, perhaps \u2013 is the cause of the leak, as this could save you time and money!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If this is not the problem, you need to be looking at the back of your fridge. Water circulates through the system constantly, and there is a drain \u2013 known as the defrost drain at the back (<em>usually near the compressor<\/em>) that can become blocked. You will notice any debris or blockage quite easily once you locate the drain. The drain will include a hose; you can disconnect this and use a pipe cleaner to push any debris away. Also, there will be a tray in which excess water collects when the machine defrosts. This can easily overflow, so it also needs to be checked carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A blocked drain can lead to ice build-up \u2013 this can happen very quickly \u2013 which in turn leads to water leakage. It could also be that the water supply is blocked or, in the winter, perhaps frozen, and this can have the same effect. You can check this yourself by having a look at the hoses involved, and again it should be easy to see. Usually, leaking fridges are caused by one of the above, but if you are still having trouble after checking these, get in touch with a reliable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northlondonappliancerepairs.co.uk\/domestic-appliances\/fridge-freezer.html\">refrigerator repair company<\/a> and they will send an <strong>engineer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fridge Will Not Operate<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your fridge simply will not work, it could be due to one\nof a number of factors. First, you need to check that there is power to the\nfridge itself. Make sure the power outlet it is using is working, and if so,\nthen you might need to check the fuses in the plug. It could also be that your\nmotor or other part of the operating system has simply failed, and often it is\nthe control board, which is not a DIY project. This may happen after a number\nof years of continuous operation, and you may need to look at the cost\nimplications of fixing it. If it is not a simple power failure, you need to get\nin touch with an engineer who can take a closer look and advice whether it\u2019s\nrepair or replace time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fridge is Too Warm<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The problem is this: no matter what you do with the\nthermostat setting inside your fridge, it simply does not get cold enough. It\u2019s\na common problem, and one that can happen with both separate fridges and \u2013\nperhaps more commonly \u2013 those that are combined with freezer units. Let\u2019s talk\nabout the latter examples first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cold air that permeates your fridge compartment, and\nkeeps your food cool, is usually generated by your freezer unit. This is the\nreason these combined appliances are popular. The freezer will typically be\nfitted with an evaporator fan, which drives the cold air through a diffuser,\ninto your fridge. The diffuser can become blocked easily \u2013 either by dust or\ndebris build-up or by something being placed in front of it \u2013 which causes the\nfan to fail to get its job done. You can have a look at this yourself \u2013 you\u2019ll\nfind details in the handbook \u2013 and it is easy to resolve by simply cleaning the\ndiffuser duct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In both designs, the problem can also be a broken thermostat. If you\u2019re adept at DIY and know how to find the thermostat you can check it with a multimeter. This is perhaps the most common of all the <strong>warm fridge problems<\/strong>. You may also need a new motor to drive the system \u2013 if you hear a low hum and nothing is happening, this can be the case \u2013 in which case it is best to call out the engineer, who will have a close look at the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note that a <strong>warm fridge<\/strong> can also come about as a result of the door not sealing properly, which allows external air into the fridge itself. This can be fixed by replacing the seals, and can be easily checked by looking for damage on the seals. They will become worn and need replacing in time, so check them regularly for signs of damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fresh Food Compartment is Too Cold <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is usually a <strong>problem with the thermostat<\/strong>, which we can assume is broken in the opposite setting to one that is warming the compartment. The thermostat effectively tells the compressor \u2013 the main component in a refrigeration system \u2013 and the motor that powers the evaporator fan (as mentioned above) how hard or otherwise they need to work. It is these devices that regulate the temperature in the fridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, if you have a <strong>faulty thermostat<\/strong>, your compressor and fan will work inefficiently, and the result may be that the fresh food compartment starts freezing everything. Once again, if you know how, you can check the thermostat with a meter, but there is a simpler way: with the fridge switched on, slowly rotate the dial from the lowest to the highest setting, listening carefully. At some point, you should hear a click. If you don\u2019t, then you have a faulty thermostat, and need to call out an engineer to fit a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Noisy Fridge<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you notice that your <strong>fridge is making a lot of noise<\/strong>, then you need to check a few areas of the appliance. The usual cause of a <strong>noisy fridge<\/strong> is a broken or worn evaporator <strong>fan<\/strong>. This is replaceable, but only by an engineer familiar with your make and model of fridge. An evaporator fan that is not working properly with have to work harder to do its job, and this causes the compressor to also work overtime, hence the louder noise than usual. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you notice a loud noise that comes about suddenly, it\u2019s perhaps best to unplug the appliance and contact the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northlondonappliancerepairs.co.uk\/domestic-appliances\/fridge-freezer.html\">refrigerator repair company<\/a>, as they will be able to have a closer look and advise you as to what needs to be done. Rest assured, it will usually be the fan, and while it is not a DIY job it will not be as expensive as you may expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fridge Running Constantly<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The above problem of a noisy fridge is closely coupled with this one, that of a fridge that is running constantly and going through its cycles too often. This can also be down to a <strong>faulty evaporator fan<\/strong>, or a <strong>broken thermostat<\/strong>, as either will make the system work harder to try and achieve what it is intended for. It could also be down to a blockage or debris around the condenser coils \u2013 you\u2019ll find these behind a grille at the bottom and near the back, your user manual should direct you to them \u2013 which can be removed using a vacuum cleaner (<em>remember to switch the freezer off first<\/em>).\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is also one very common problem that causes the fridge to work constantly, and that is setting the thermostat too low. Around 4C is the best level for a fridge to work without being asked to do too much, so check your thermostat often and make sure it\u2019s in the right area \u2013 and that it is working!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of the common faults with refrigerators are repairable, but with older appliances it is certainly worth taking expert advice on the financial viability of the repairs. It could be that buying a newer, more modern appliance will work out cheaper in the long run \u2013 they tend to be more efficient and use less power \u2013 and an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northlondonappliancerepairs.co.uk\/domestic-appliances\/fridge-freezer.html\">expert engineer<\/a> will advise you as to the best course of action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check your thermostat regularly, keep an eye out for blockages in the drain, and you should get the full lifespan out of your fridge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><amp-fit-text layout=\"fixed-height\" min-font-size=\"6\" max-font-size=\"72\" height=\"80\">The above are some of the most commonly seen problems that can occur with fridge freezers, but it should be remembered they are not the only ones!
