How to Keep Your Fridge Running Smoothly

Refrigerators are available in a variety of different sizes and shapes. They can fit into tight spaces, including dorm rooms.

Some models are compatible with smart devices. They let you monitor your fridge from afar and help you fix any issues that might arise. You can also control them via voice commands.

Noise

Refrigerators can emit a variety of sounds while operating, and some are more prominent than others. If you hear any of the sounds below find out the cause and look for a quick fix prior to calling a repair service for your fridge.

Rattling

The fridge may rumble in the event that there isn't enough space between it and the wall or cabinet or if it is positioned at an unlevel angle. This is easy to fix - all you have to do is ensure that there's at least a few inches of space on each side, and adjust the fridge legs or leveling screws to raise or lower it in line with.

Hissing

When the compressor is cooling your food, it may make a squealing sound. This is a common sound that is caused by compressor fluid or refrigerant moving through the system. If you're concerned you are concerned, track how often the compressor runs. Call a fridge repair service immediately when this occurs more frequently than usual.

Squeaking

Refrigerators can sound raucous when the fan or coils are filthy. If you hear a squeaking sound coming from your refrigerator, you can use the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner along with a rag and dish soap or water along with warm water to clean the fan and coils. It's important to do this at least twice a year and more frequently when your cheap fridge freezer, http://www.mioai.it/blog/index.php?entryid=311079, is old or is used frequently.

Clicking

A click sound can also be heard from a fridge. It is usually caused by ice around the freezer fan. Manual defrosting can resolve the problem however it is likely to recur until a professional is brought to assist.

The clicking can also occur when the fridge freezers is turned off, so be sure to restart it when you hear this. The sound could be caused by the ice maker if you have one to your fridge, so be sure to ensure this is switched off when you aren't using continuous ice.

The hum of your fridge is normal, but it can be a bit louder at certain times of the day or after heavy stockings or intense freezing operations. The refrigerator is working harder to keep your food cool, which means it has to work faster. This isn't an indication of any issue.

Dust

Household dust is an ideal habitat for dirt, bacteria and other microorganisms, as well as traces of everyday household chemical exposures. The tiny particles can cause allergic reactions and respiratory irritation, and they provide a perfect surface for microbes, including those that can cause infection if they come into contact with an open cut.

Cleaning a refrigerator is impossible, but regular cleaning can help to reduce dust and keep a more constant temperature. A dirty fridge also wastes energy when it overheats and operates inefficiently. If you suspect that your refrigerator is producing louder sounds than normal, or is running out of power due to overworking it, it might be time to call in the experts.

Dust doesn't drift into the air from outside as it is thought to be. It is made up of resuspended dirt from your home, which can be contaminated by lead or other toxic substances. It also contains mold, pollen and car exhaust. It also contains pollutant residues from the past, such as DDT which were banned more than half a century ago.

Certain compounds, like flame retardants such as decabromodiphenylether, volatilize and get into the air, but the majority of chemicals found in house dust are transferred directly from one object to another like by smashing fibers and small pieces of plastic off of electronic equipment. High-molecular-weight substances, such as surfactants used in cleaners and paint strippers, also migrate directly into dust.

A dirty refrigerator can adversely impact your health, as well as contaminating food. It can harbor allergens, such as pet dander and the droppings of cockroaches which can trigger asthma and allergies in many people. It also contains bacterial spores such as staphylococcus.

Researchers have discovered that a variety of health issues are linked to dust contamination, from heart disease to cancer to leukemia and inflammatory bowel diseases. Recent research revealed that dust in the homes of children who had leukemia contained higher levels of PCBs as well as PBDEs and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Condenser Coils

When refrigerators run properly, the coils that are on the back and front of the appliance should help disperse the heat generated by the compressor. But when these radiator-like parts are covered in dust, pet hair, or lint, the compressor is forced to work overtime trying to cool the fridge, and will eventually wear down the unit. That's why it's so important to regularly clean the coils.

Before starting, disconnect and shut off the refrigerator's power source. This will reduce the risk that you or your family members may be injured by electrocution while working on the appliance. If you're allergic to dust it is recommended to wear a mask for your face. The next step is to locate the coils. They are usually located at the back of the refrigerator, or in certain cases, on the front and base. If you're not sure where to find them, consult your fridge's owner manual or contact the manufacturer for more information.

After you've found the coils, take off the access panel (if there is one) and alternate between vacuuming them with the narrow hose attachment or brushing them using a condenser cleaning brush. It's important to be patient when doing this to avoid bending or damaging the coils. After that you can replace the kick panel or push the fridge into place and plug it back in.

You can hire a professional if you're not at ease doing it yourself. It's cheaper and easier to maintain the cleaning routine in order to prevent the issue from occurring.

Maintenance

Refrigerators are tough-working appliances that keep running all day and night to cool your food. They require regular maintenance to enable them to accomplish their task effectively. Simple preventive maintenance can ensure that your machines are running efficiently for a long time.

One easy thing to do is to wipe down the door seals. Jelly and other sticky foods can accumulate and block the gaskets from securing tightly, letting cool air seep through tiny cracks. Clean them by putting baking soda and warm water on a toothbrush or sponge every few months.

The fan at the rear of the refrigerator is a different spot to check. It can be noisy if it's blocked with paper, insulation or even mice (gasp). Unplug the shelves, remove the shelves, the refrigerator and then remove all removable parts. Vacuum cleaners that have hose attachments can be used to clean the coils and the area surrounding them. Make sure to turn the fridge on again after you have finished.

It is recommended to consult your owner's manual for details on where to find the coils and the fan and what cleaning tools you might need. It is also recommended to review the warranty to be sure you understand what's covered.
