5 warning signs your refrigerator needs repair

_{Your refrigerator is essential for keeping food fresh, but when it starts failing, you need to act fast. Here are 5 warning signs that indicate it’s time for professional servicing.}

1. Inconsistent cooling

• If your fridge isn’t maintaining a steady temperature, food may spoil faster than expected.
• Check the thermostat settings and ensure vents aren’t blocked.

2. Excessive noise

• Unusual buzzing, clicking, or knocking sounds could signal compressor or fan motor issues.
• If the noise persists, a professional should inspect it.

3. Frequent cycling

• If the fridge turns on and off constantly, it may be struggling to maintain the right temperature.
• Dirty condenser coils or a failing thermostat could be the cause.

4. Water leaks

• Puddles around your fridge could indicate a clogged or frozen defrost drain.
• Check for visible leaks and clear drain blockages.

5. Freezer frost buildup

• Excessive frost inside the freezer can mean a faulty defrost system or door seal issues.
• Ensure the door closes properly and inspect the gaskets for damage.

Pro tip 

Routine maintenance can prevent major repairs and extend your fridge’s lifespan.
