It’s the middle of the summer and the last thing you’d want to go through is a faulty fridge. This is undoubtedly something that you need to handle as quickly as you can. If your fridge fails to cool the foods you’ve stored within, this is quickly going to cause them to spoil and to go bad. This is why a timely and appropriate reaction is absolutely critical when it comes to it. Here are a few things that you might want to take into account.
Fan motors
If your fans have failed to run, this is most certainly going to prevent your fridge from cooling off whatever is inside. Make sure to listen carefully – working fans are easy to hear. Keep in mind that there are two of them – one of which is in the freezer – both of them need to be working. If one of them isn’t – it needs to be preplaced.
A quick piece of advice here – if the fan within the KitchenAid freezer is the one which has failed to work – make sure to check if there is ice built up. This might be preventing it from spinning and all you need to do is remove the ice. There is no need for you to look for a new fan. However, if that’s not the case, you would most likely have to replace it.
Dirty Coils
Your condenser coils are particularly important as they are mainly responsible for the overall heat transfer. Therefore, if they are particularly dirty, this might prevent them from working as intended or it could cause them to fail working altogether. Fortunately, cleaning your coils takes about 5 minutes. Take the KitchenAid fridge away from the wall and make sure to unplug it from the power source. By the way – this is a thing that you should take into account whenever you are attempting a fix of any kind. Once you are done, just vacuum the dirt spread through the coils and give them a nice cleaning. This should be more than enough to get it done.
If you experience a more serious problem, however, you should most definitely rely on the professionals to help you out. This is going to ensure that everything is handled as per the highest industry standards. If there is one thing that you should remember is that you should never conduct a repair that you are not certain of. This is likely to cause you more troubles than it would fix so it’s definitely something that you should account for. Call the professionals and let them handle everything – it would be a lot more convenient. It is important that they are licensed and insured so that your interests are covered. Additionally, it is essential to work with experienced technicians so that they quickly diagnose the issues plaguing the refrigerator.
