How to Keep Your Fridge Running Smoothly

Refrigerators are available in a variety of different sizes and shapes. They can be a perfect fit in small places like dorms.

Certain models can be used with smart devices. They'll let you monitor your fridge remotely and troubleshoot any problems that may occur. You can also use voice commands to control them.

Noise

Refrigerators produce a variety of sounds when they are operating. Some of these sounds are more noticeable than others. If you notice any of the below sounds identify the source and look for a quick fix before calling a repair service for your fridge.

Rattling

The fridge can rattle in the event that there isn't enough space between it and the cabinet or wall or if it's sitting at an unlevel angle. It's easy to solve - all you have to do is make sure there's at least a few inches of space between the sides and then adjust the fridge legs or leveling screws to raise or lower it according to.

Hissing

When the compressor is cooling your food, it can make a hissing sound. This is a normal sound that is caused by the compressor fluid or refrigerant moving through the system. If you're worried, count how often the compressor cycles and call a refrigerator repair service immediately if it does so more frequently than normal.

Squeaking

The sound of refrigerators can be loud when the fan or coils are dirty. If you hear a squeaking sound from your refrigerator, you can use the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner along with a rag and dish soap or water and warm water to clean the coils and fan. It is essential to do this twice a year, or more often in the case of a fridge that is older or used heavily.

Clicking

Frigs can also produce an ear-piercing sound, which is generally caused by the accumulation of ice around the freezer fan. Manual defrosting can resolve the issue but it could recur in the event that a professional is not called in.

If you hear clicking, turn the fridge freezer Uk back on. If you have an ice maker connected to your fridge, this sound could be caused by it. Make sure you turn it off when you are not using ice constantly.

The hum of your fridge is normal, and it can be a bit more pronounced at certain times of the day, or after large stockings or intensive freezing processes. This is because the refrigerator needs to work harder and faster to keep your food cool but it's not necessarily a sign of trouble with the fridge or its performance.

Dust

Dust from the household is an ideal habitat for dirt, fridge freezer uk bacteria and other microorganisms, as well as the traces of household chemical exposures. The tiny particles can be breathed in and elicit allergic reactions, and serve as an ideal place for microbes to grow including those that could cause infection when they come in contact with an open wound.

It's impossible to clean a fridge completely however, fridge freezer Uk regular cleaning can help reduce dust build-up and keep the temperature stable. A dirty fridge also consumes energy as it overheats and operates inefficiently. If you suspect that your refrigerator is producing louder sounds than usual, or if it's wasting power by overworking itself is it time to call the experts.

Contrary to other airborne particles dust doesn't just drift in from outside as is often believed. It's made up of resuspended dust from the house which could be contaminated with lead or other toxicants. It also contains pollen, mold and car exhaust. It also retains the legacy pollutants like DDT that were banned decades ago.

Some compounds, like flame retardants like decabromodiphenylether are able to dissolve into the air. However, the majority substances found in dust originate from objects that have been knocked off, such as electronic equipment. High-molecular-weight substances, such as surfactants used in cleaners and paint strippers, also migrate directly into dust.

A soiled refrigerator can impact your health, as well as contamination of food. It can harbor allergens like pet dander and droppings of cockroaches that can cause asthma attacks and allergic reactions. It also can contain bacteria spores, like staphylococcus aureus, that can cause infections if they find their way into an open wound.

Researchers have discovered that dust pollution is associated with a wide variety of health issues that include cardiovascular disease, cancer, leukemia and inflammatory bowel disease. Recent research revealed that dust in the homes of children with leukemia had higher levels PCBs as well as PBDEs and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Condenser Coils

If refrigerators are operating correctly, the coils on the front and back of the appliance are supposed to disperse heat generated by the compressor. If these radiator-like parts are covered in dust, pet hair or lint the compressor has to work hard trying to cool the refrigerator and reduces the efficiency of the unit. It is essential to regularly clean your coils.

If you're looking to tackle the job yourself, it is recommended that you unplug the refrigerator from its outlet and switch off the power source before beginning. This will lower the chance that you or your family members may be electrocuted while working on the appliance. It's also an excellent idea to wear a protective mask if you are sensitive to dust. You'll then have to find the coils. These coils are usually located at the back of the refrigerator or, in some instances, at the front and at the base. Refer to the manual for your fridge or contact the manufacturer if don't know where they are.

Once you've located the coils, you'll need to remove the access panel if you have one and then alternate between vacuuming the coils with an attachment for a narrow hose and then brushing them with a condenser coil cleaning brush. Take your time to avoid damaging or bending the coils. After you're done, replace the kick panel or push the fridge into position and plug it back in.

You can hire an expert if you're not comfortable doing it yourself. But it's much cheaper and less trouble to keep up with the cleaning routine to prevent the problem from arising in the first place.

Maintenance

Fridges are powerful appliances that run all day to cool down your food. They require regular maintenance to help them perform their job well. Simple preventive maintenance will ensure that your machines run smoothly for Frydge a long time.

One simple thing to do is clean the door seals. Jelly and other sticky foods can cause a buildup and stop the gaskets from sealing tightly, letting cool air seep out of tiny openings. Every few months, wipe them down with a baking soda solution and warm water using the toothbrush or sponge.

Another spot to look for issues is the fan in the back of the refrigerator. It can become noisy when it's blocked by paper, insulation or even a mouse (gasp). Unplug the shelves, remove the shelves, the refrigerator and then remove all removable parts. Vacuum cleaners equipped with connections for hoses are a great option to clean the coils as well as the area surrounding them. Make sure that you switch the fridge back on when you are finished.

It is recommended to consult the owner's manual to find out more on where to find the coils and the fan and what cleaning tools you may require. It's recommended to read the warranty thoroughly, to be sure you know what's covered and what isn't covered.
