How to Keep Your Fridge Running Smoothly Refrigerators are available in a vast variety of shapes and sizes. They can be fitted into small spaces, such as dorm rooms. Certain models also connect to smart devices. You can monitor your fridge from afar and fix any issues if they arise. You can also utilize voice commands to manage them. Noise Refrigerators produce a variety of noises while they're operating. Some of these noises are more prominent than others. Before calling a refrigerator repair service, you should determine the source of any sounds you hear. Rattling The rattling of the fridge can happen when there's no space between the fridge and wall or cabinet, or when it's placed at an uneven angle. This is a simple solve – all you have to do is ensure there's at least a couple of inches of space between the sides, and adjust the legs of your fridge or leveling screws to lower or raise it in line with. Hissing When the compressor is cooling your food, it can make a squealing sound. This is a normal sound that is caused by refrigerant or compressor fluid that is moving through the system. If you're concerned you are concerned, track how often the compressor runs. Contact a repair company immediately when this occurs more frequently than normal. Squeaking Fridges can be noisy when the fan or coils are filthy. If you notice that your fridge is making a squeaking sound clean the coils or fan with a vacuum cleaner using a brush attachment, a rag and water or just use dish soap and water. This should be done twice a year or more frequently in the case of older refrigerators or is heavily used. Clicking Frigs can also make an ear-piercing sound that is usually caused by ice buildup around the freezer fan. This can be resolved with a manual defrost, but will likely return until the issue is resolved by a service expert. The clicking can also occur when the fridge is turned off, so be sure to restart it in the event that this happens. If you have an ice maker installed to your fridge, this sound could be caused by it. Make sure to turn it off when you are not making use of ice frequently. The hum coming from your fridge is normal. It can be more pronounced during certain times of the day, or after heavy stockings or intensive freezer functions. This is due to the fact that the refrigerator has to perform more efficiently and faster to keep your food cold, but it is not an indication of a problem with the refrigerator or its performance. Dust Dust in the house attracts dirt, bacteria and other microorganisms as well as traces from the everyday exposure to chemicals in our homes. The tiny particles can cause allergic reactions and respiratory irritation and provide a perfect surface for microbes, such as those that could cause infection when they come into contact with an open cut. It's impossible to clean a fridge completely however, regular cleaning can reduce the accumulation of dust and keep the temperature consistent. A dirty refrigerator also consumes energy when it overheats and is inefficient. If you suspect your fridge is making louder noises than usual, or if it's running out of power due to overworking it It's probably time to call the professionals. Unlike other airborne particulates, dust doesn't just come in from the outside as is often believed. It contains resuspended soil from your home and is often contaminated with lead and other toxic substances, in addition to pollen, mold spores, and car exhaust. It also has pollutant residues from the past, such as DDT which were banned more than half 100 years ago. Some compounds, like flame retardants like decabromodiphenylether are able to dissolve into the air. But the majority of substances found in dust originate from objects that are knocked off, for example, 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, in addition to the food you eat being contaminated. It can contain allergens like pet dander and the droppings of cockroaches, which can trigger asthma and allergic reactions in many people. It can also contain bacteria-related spores like staphylococcus. Researchers have discovered that a wide range of health conditions can be traced to dust pollution, ranging from heart disease to cancer to leukemia and inflammatory intestinal disease. A recent study revealed that homes of children with leukemia were more likely to have higher levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons PBDEs and PCBs in their dust than the homes of healthy children. fridge freezers Frydge If refrigerators are operating correctly, the coils on the back and front of the appliance should be able to dissipate the heat generated by the compressor. However, when these radiator-like components are covered with dust, pet hair, or lint, the compressor works all day long trying to cool the fridge, and eventually wears down the unit. That's why it's so important to regularly clean the coils. If you're looking to tackle the task yourself, it is recommended that you unplug the refrigerator from its outlet and turn off its power supply prior to starting. 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 will then need to locate the coils. They are usually located in the rear of the fridge or at the front across the base in some units. If you're not sure where to locate them check the owner's manual or contact the manufacturer for more information. Once you have found the coils, you will have to take off the access panel, if there's one and then alternate between vacuuming the coils with an attachment for a narrow hose and rubbing them with a condenser coil cleaning brush. It is essential to be patient when doing this to avoid bending or damaging the coils. Replace the kick panel or move the refrigerator to its place, and connect it to the electrical outlet. If you aren't comfortable doing it yourself, you can always employ an expert. But it's much cheaper and less trouble to simply keep up with the routine of cleaning to stop the problem from occurring in the first place. Maintenance Refrigerators are durable appliances that keep running throughout the day and night to cool your food. To ensure they do their jobs well they require regular maintenance. Simple preventive maintenance can ensure that your machines are running smoothly for a long time. One simple thing to do is to clean the door seals. Jelly and other sticky foods can build up and prevent the gaskets from securing tightly and allowing cool air to escape through tiny cracks. Every few months, wipe them clean with baking soda solution and warm water using a sponge or toothbrush. The fan in the rear of the refrigerator is a different spot to check. It can be noisy if it's clogged with insulation, paper and even a mouse (gasp). Unplug the shelves, remove the shelves, the refrigerator and remove any removable parts. Vacuum cleaners equipped with connections for hoses are a great option to clean the coils as well as the area around them. Make sure to turn the fridge on again when you are finished. It is recommended to check the owner's manual for details on where to find the coils, the fan, and what tools to clean it with. It is also recommended to review the warranty to be sure you understand what's covered.
