Brisbane Fridge Repair

frequently asked questions

What are some of the most common fridge repairs?

Our fridge mechanics have seen the following repairs the most:

Faulty or malfunctioning thermostat: The thermostat controls the temperature inside the fridge. If it is not working properly, the fridge may not cool to the desired temperature or may become too cold. Adjusting or replacing the thermostat can often resolve this issue.

Defective or worn-out door seal/gasket: The door seal or gasket ensures a tight seal when the fridge door is closed. If it is damaged or worn out, cold air can escape, leading to inefficient cooling and potential frost buildup. Replacing the door seal/gasket can restore proper sealing and temperature control.

Faulty condenser fan motor: The condenser fan motor circulates air across the condenser coils, helping to dissipate heat from the fridge. If the fan motor is not functioning correctly, it can result in inadequate cooling or increased energy consumption. Replacing the condenser fan motor can solve this problem.

Clogged or malfunctioning defrost drain: The defrost drain removes condensation and melted ice from the freezer. If the drain is clogged or not working correctly, it can lead to water leakage inside the fridge or freezer. Cleaning or unclogging the defrost drain can resolve this issue.

Defective or malfunctioning compressor: The compressor is responsible for compressing the refrigerant and circulating it through the cooling system. If the compressor fails, the fridge may not cool properly or may not work at all. Repairing or replacing the compressor is a more complex and expensive repair that may require professional assistance.

Damaged or faulty evaporator fan motor: The evaporator fan motor circulates air over the evaporator coils, facilitating the cooling process. If the fan motor is defective or damaged, the fridge may not cool evenly or adequately. Replacing the evaporator fan motor can restore proper cooling.

Refrigerant leaks: Refrigerant leaks can cause a loss of cooling capacity in the fridge. If you suspect a refrigerant leak, it is important to contact a professional technician as handling refrigerant requires specialized knowledge and equipment.

Malfunctioning ice maker: If the ice maker is not producing ice or is dispensing ice improperly, it may require repair or replacement of components such as the water inlet valve, water line, or ice maker assembly.

Electrical issues: Fridge electrical problems, such as faulty wiring, damaged power cord, or issues with the control board, can impact the fridge’s operation. These issues may require professional expertise to diagnose and repair.

Internal component wear and tear: Over time, various internal components of the fridge, such as the fan blades, switches, or relays, can wear out or become faulty. Replacing these components can restore proper functionality.

The specific repairs required can vary depending on the make and model of your fridge. If you’re experiencing issues, seek professional help from one of the qualified appliance repair technicians in NWAR.

Is it worth it to repair a refrigerator?

According to our experts, it’s worth it to repair a fridge if:

-The cost of doing so is 50% or less than the cost of a new one.
-The fridge doesn’t have a long history of repairs.
-The appliance is within its expected lifespan.
-Repairing it can prolong its lifespan.
-A technician has checked it and considers it’s worth repairing.

With that said, these are some factors our fridge mechanics take into account when deciding whether it’s worth repairing a fridge:

Extent of the problem: Minor problems, such as a faulty thermostat or a worn-out door seal, can often be repaired at a reasonable cost. However, if the problem is significant, such as a compressor failure or a major refrigerant leak, the repair cost may be high.

Age of the refrigerator: If it is relatively new and still within its expected lifespan, it may be more cost-effective to repair it. But if the fridge is old and has a history of multiple issues, it may not be worth repairing.

Potential lifespan: If the repair can extend the appliance’s lifespan significantly and make it function like new, it may be worth the investment. But if the repair only provides a short-term fix or there are indications that other components may fail soon, it may be more logical to invest in a new refrigerator.

Energy efficiency: Newer fridge models are generally more energy-efficient, which can lead to long-term cost savings on electricity bills. If your current refrigerator is inefficient and requires frequent repairs, replacing it with a newer, energy-efficient model may be a more cost-effective option in the long run.

Warranty and professional advice: Check if your refrigerator is still under warranty. If it is, repairs may be covered, making it more economical to get it fixed.

Additionally, consulting with a professional technician can provide insight into the specific problem, potential repair costs, and the overall condition of the refrigerator, helping you make an informed decision.

If you need help with this, give us a call. One of our technicians can provide recommendations, so you know whether it’s worth it for you to repair it.

What are the signs of a bad refrigerator compressor?

A refrigerator compressor is a vital component responsible for circulating refrigerant and maintaining the cooling process.

When a compressor starts to fail or becomes faulty, there are several signs you may notice indicating a problem:

Inadequate cooling: One of the primary functions of the compressor is to cool the refrigerator. If you notice that your refrigerator is not cooling properly, or if the temperature inside is consistently warmer than the set temperature, it could be a sign of a compressor issue.

Loud noises: A failing compressor may produce loud or unusual noises. These can include clicking, buzzing, rattling, or grinding sounds. If you hear any unusual sounds coming from the back of your refrigerator, it’s worth investigating further.

Frequent cycling on and off: The compressor should run in cycles to maintain the desired temperature. But if it frequently turns on and off in rapid succession, it may have a problem. This behaviour is known as “short cycling” and can be a sign of compressor failure.

Excessive heat: A compressor in good working condition should generate some heat, but if you notice excessive heat around the compressor or in the back of the refrigerator, it could be a sign of compressor malfunction.

Leaking oil: The compressor contains refrigerant and lubricating oil. If you see oil leaking from the compressor or notice oily residue around it, it indicates a potential issue.

Refrigerant leaks can also occur, but these are often more challenging to detect without specialized equipment.

Tripped circuit breaker: If the compressor is drawing excessive current or experiencing an electrical issue, it can trip the circuit breaker that supplies power to the refrigerator.

If you find that your refrigerator repeatedly trips the breaker, it could be due to a faulty compressor.

Even though these signs are commonly associated with compressor problems, they can also indicate other issues.

If you’re experiencing any of the above issues, it’s best to call a fridge technician. We can figure out what’s going on and give recommendations according to your specific needs.

Why the fridge is not cold but the freezer is?

If your refrigerator is not cold but the freezer is functioning properly, our technicians explain there are a few possible explanations:

Blocked airflow: Check if there is any obstruction in the vents or air channels between the freezer and refrigerator compartments.

If these passages are blocked by food items, ice buildup, or other debris, it can restrict the flow of cold air into the refrigerator section.

Faulty damper control: The damper control is a component that regulates the amount of cold air flowing from the freezer to the refrigerator.

If the damper control is stuck closed or not functioning correctly, it can prevent cold air from entering the refrigerator compartment while allowing it to reach the freezer.

Defective evaporator fan: The evaporator fan is responsible for circulating cold air from the freezer to the refrigerator.

If the fan is not working, the freezer may still get cold due to the cold air being produced by the evaporator coils, but the refrigerator won’t receive sufficient airflow to cool properly.

Damaged or worn-out door gasket: The door gasket forms a seal around the refrigerator door to prevent warm air from entering. If the gasket is damaged or worn out, it can allow warm air to infiltrate the refrigerator, resulting in inadequate cooling.

Faulty thermostat: The thermostat controls the temperature settings in both the freezer and refrigerator compartments. If the thermostat is not functioning properly, it may not be accurately sensing or regulating the temperature in the refrigerator, leading to insufficient cooling.

Insufficient coolant or compressor issue: If the coolant levels are low or the compressor, which circulates the refrigerant, is malfunctioning, it can result in an imbalance of cooling between the freezer and refrigerator compartments. This issue often requires professional repair.

If you have the proper knowledge and required tools, inspect these possible causes and troubleshoot accordingly.

But if you’re unable to identify or resolve the issue, contact us. One of our qualified appliance technicians can diagnose the problem accurately and provide the necessary repairs to restore proper cooling in your refrigerator.
