Five Costly Refrigerator Repairs to Avoid Using Routine Maintenance
Maintenance doesn’t just extend the life of your refrigerator or freezer and keep it running efficiently. It also helps prevent costly repairs down the road. Without regular maintenance, refrigeration issues that seem minor can lead to more significant component failures.
Here are five common refrigeration problems you can prevent with routine maintenance:
Power Loss
This is sometimes an easy fix. For example, if the problem is a tripped circuit, it can be as simple as a quick trip to the circuit breaker.
However, if the breakers are fine and there are no current outages in your area, a loss of power could indicate a more serious problem with your freezer’s electrical circuits. Regular maintenance plans include inspections of electrical components to prevent total power loss.
Ice Buildup
Your refrigerator or freezer shouldn’t look like an ice cave. However, ice built up around the evaporator coils could be a sign that:
- Your freezer equipment is not defrosting enough during the defrost cycle.
- Water is not draining properly.
- Your cooler or freezer is working harder than it should to transfer heat outside.
Maintenance service calls include thorough inspection and cleaning of evaporator coils and drainage.
A Leaky Shell
A leaky shell can cause your refrigeration equipment to work harder than it needs to, costing you money. It can also lead to moisture within the refrigerator or freezer, leading to ice buildup around delicate components.
Regular maintenance will help prevent leaks from developing in your refrigerator or freezer shell.
Poor Airflow
A condenser unit blocked by debris or placed in an enclosed space with poor airflow can cause a refrigerator to work harder to cool itself. If a condenser unit is poorly installed or becomes clogged with debris, it can put unneeded strain on the refrigerator and cost more on energy bills.
A commercial refrigeration repair technician can help you avoid this problem during a routine service call by checking your airflow and clearing blockages if necessary.
A Continuously Running Refrigerator Motor
Motors in freezers and refrigerators should quit running when the temperature reaches the set temperature. If your freezer or refrigerator motor continues to run, it could signify the unit is trying to maintain the set temperature.
A constantly running motor will eventually break down and lead to more significant issues. Regular inspection and lubrication of your motor will make it more efficient and less likely to break down in the future.
Save With Maintenance Plans for Your Refrigeration Equipment
Our technical specialists are all industry experts with years of experience identifying and fixing refrigeration issues. They know what to look for during routine maintenance service calls and can spot the minor signs of wear and tear that signal the potential for more significant problems in the future.
We’ll help keep your refrigeration equipment running at peak performance to save you money on your upcoming energy bill and future repairs. Regular maintenance calls typically include:
- Testing the refrigeration temperature
- Testing the pressure controls and electrical connections
- Inspecting the door and shell for potential leaks
- Confirming the refrigerant charge
- Cleaning the coils
- Lubricating bearings and motors
- Recalibrating the fans, defrost controls, and motors
- Making recommendations for any necessary repairs
- Checking for adequate airflow
Once your maintenance service call is complete, we’ll send you a report detailing the completed work. We may also provide recommendations for future repair or replacement and offer other ways to improve your refrigeration unit’s performance.
Refrigeration Repair With Responsive Emergency Services
Some repairs can’t wait until morning. For example, if your refrigerator or freezer breaks down, it doesn’t take long for the products inside to be ruined by rising temperatures.
