Exceptional Commercial and Residential Refrigeration Repairs

A sudden inability to keep foods fresh is one of the first signs that your refrigerator or freezer needs service. You might notice certain foods that are particularly sensitive to spoilage, including milk and meats, spoiling sooner than expected. This could be due to any number of issues with your refrigerator. For instance, a damaged door seal or a refrigerant leak can cause warm air to infiltrate your refrigerator and cause performance issues. 

Another sign of trouble is when there is excess frost and ice build-up in your freezer. Most modern refrigerators or freezers have an automatic defrosting feature to prevent frost and ice build-up. This feature can sometimes fail. Excessive frost and ice build-up is a problem you should have your service technician check out as soon as possible.

Condensation occurs when moisture trapped in warm air condenses from a vapor to a liquid once the air is cool enough. Condensation is a natural part of the refrigeration process that helps keep your food fresh. Your refrigerator normally deals with small amounts of condensation. Door and seal failure can cause your refrigerator to sweat on the inside, resulting in water pooling at the bottom of the unit. Excess condensation on the outside of the refrigerator can also leave behind unsightly water puddles around the unit.

Excessive noise is another indicator that something's gone wrong with your refrigerator. If you can hear your refrigerator buzzing or humming from across the kitchen, have the refrigerator checked out before other problems develop.

Refrigerators built within the last few decades were designed with energy efficiency in mind. If your refrigerator suddenly starts using more electricity than usual, it could be a sign of trouble. Worn-out or malfunctioning parts can cause a sudden spike in energy consumption for your fridge, resulting in an unpleasant surprise in your monthly utility bill.

Your refrigerator's compressor and coils generate plenty of heat under normal operation. This heat is usually limited to the rear of the refrigerator. However, if the sides or front of your fridge feel warm or hot to the touch, you may be dealing with an overheating issue.
