If the Food isn't as cold as it Should

The most obvious indication that your fridge or freezer isn't working properly  is that food isn't as cold as it ought to be. As per Pete Argos, an appliance repairman who is also the author of the book Appliance Repair Made Simple and Cheap the first step in repairing your refrigerator is to determine whether the problem is consequence of a compressor issue, defrost or air circulation problem.

"If both the freezer and refrigerator are heating up, then it's likely to be an issue with the thermostat or compressor," Argos says. "If only the refrigerator is becoming warmer then it's probably an issue with the defrost system or air circulation problem." A malfunctioning defrost can create ice on the walls of the freezer, or the floors. If you believe the problem is a defrost problem, Argos recommends starting your refrigerator repair by unplugging your refrigerator and keeping it open to the elements for at least 24 hours. (For security reasons, make sure to empty the refrigerator of all contents and find a storage space that can keep foods at the right temperature for refrigeration.)

After that, reset both temperature controls back to middle settings before plugging the refrigerator back into the wall. "The refrigerator should return to normal temperatures within one morning," he says. "If the problem persists after two weeks you'll be required to call your service technician."

Argos provides these suggestions to ensure your refrigerator is operating efficiently, even if you don't have a issue right now. It's simpler to prevent damage than fixing refrigerators entirely.

Clean door seals by washing them with warm soapy water. check for cracks large enough or tears. Replace if necessary.
