Water Leakage

Water pooling around your fridge is more than just a nuisance—it could signal a blocked drain or failing seal. Addressing leaks early can prevent bigger water damage and keep your appliance running smoothly.

Causes:

  • Blocked or frozen defrost drain

  • Cracked or loose water supply line

  • Damaged door gaskets allowing condensation

 

Solutions:

  • Clear and flush the defrost drain

  • Inspect and replace faulty hoses

  • Replace worn-out door seals

Frost or Ice Build Up

Excess frost in your freezer or fridge compartment may result from a faulty defrost system or airflow issue. Fixing the root cause helps preserve food quality and energy efficiency.

Causes:

  • Defective defrost heater or timer

  • Warm air entering due to door seal issues

  • Frequently opening the door

 

Solutions:

  • Replace defrost system parts

  • Fix or replace damaged door gaskets

  • Avoid frequent door opening or improper storage

Fridge or Freezer

not cool enough

If your refrigerator isn’t staying cold, food safety is at risk. This problem can stem from airflow restrictions, thermostat issues, or dirty coils that need quick resolution.

Causes:

  • Thermostat failure

  • Blocked vents

  • Dirty condenser coils

 

Solutions:

  • Test and replace the thermostat

  • Clear airflow obstructions

  • Perform thorough cleaning

Noisy Refrigerators

Unusual humming, buzzing, or rattling from your fridge may indicate mechanical wear or loose components. Tackling the source of the noise ensures your appliance operates quietly and efficiently.

Causes:

  • Malfunctioning evaporator or condenser fan

  • Vibrating components (e.g., compressor, motor mounts)

  • Loose parts or items inside

 

Solutions:

  • Tighten or replace fan motors

  • Isolate vibrations with pads or spacers

  • Check and secure internal components

Runs or Cycles too often

A refrigerator that runs constantly can spike your energy bills and strain internal parts. Identifying why it won’t cycle off is key to restoring optimal performance.

Causes:

  • Dirty condenser coils

  • Improper thermostat settings

  • Leaky door seal

 

Solutions:

  • Clean the coils

  • Adjust the thermostat

  • Replace the gasket if it’s not sealing properly

Door misalignment

or not closing

A misaligned or unsealed door can cause temperature fluctuations and higher energy use. Realignment and gasket repairs ensure the door closes tightly every time.

Causes:

  • Warped door hinges

  • Debris on the sealing surface

  • Sagging refrigerator frame

 

Solutions:

  • Realign or replace hinges

  • Clean the gasket and surfaces

  • Shim or adjust leveling feet

No Ice

When your ice maker stops producing, it’s often due to a clogged line, low water pressure, or a faulty part. Timely repair can restore ice production and maintain your convenience.

Causes:

  • Faulty ice maker or water inlet valve

  • Frozen water line

  • Low water pressure

 

 

Solutions:

  • Replace the ice maker or valve

  • Thaw frozen lines

  • Ensure adequate water flow from the main supply

Common Triggers:

  • Sudden complete cooling failure

  • Power surges damaging components

  • Leaking refrigerant

 

Immediate Actions:

  • Unplug the unit if sparking or smoking

  • Call emergency appliance service

  • Use coolers to preserve food temporarily
