4 Signs Its Time To Replace Your Refrigerator

2

• For many, a refrigerator is the most important
  appliance in any home. Everyone in your house
  will quickly grow discontent should the fridge
  stop working. If you dont fix it quickly, you
  run the risk of losing hundreds of dollars in
  spoiled groceries (or even food poisoning, if you
  dont catch it soon enough).
• Typically, when youre having problems with your
  refrigerator, youll know it. If you have a home
  warranty, your best bet is to contact your
  warranty provider to set up a visit with a
  service technician youll save a ton of money
  if the repair or replacement is covered under
  your plan.
• If you dont have a home warranty? Well, here are
  four signs its time to replace your
  refrigerator.
• The ice maker no longer makes ice.
• Your ice maker should frequently make a churning
  noise while it produces more ice. With all their
  moving parts, built-in ice makers are known to
  cause problems for homeowners the problem could
  be anything from a broken augur to a defective
  water valve. Fortunately, a professional should
  be able to identify any clogs or mechanical
  issues in no time.

2. The fridge is sweating, either inside or onto
the floor. The seals around your refrigerator
should be able to keep moisture out even during
humid summer months. You might notice excessive
condensation within the fridge or leaking onto
the floor if theres a problem. In some cases,
there are DIY solutions where you can re-seal the
fridge yourself, assuming you have the necessary
tools. That said, we recommend placing a claim if
youre covered by Select Home Warranty so we can
find the solution for you. 3. The coils are
burning hot on the back of the fridge. If you
can feel intense heat coming from behind the
fridge, then its a sure sign you need a
technician to check it out. The coils behind
refrigerators are insulated and might need
replacing. In the instance of overheating coils,
your fridge is not operating efficiently even
dangerously. When this happens, get an expert
out to your home right away. A technician
experienced in refrigerator repair will be able
to advise whether replacing the coils is worth
it, or if a new refrigerator would be the best
solution. The older your fridge, the more likely
you will be to need a replacement.

4. Temperatures are either too high or too
low. Whether your fridge isnt working hard
enough and your food is spoiling or your freezer
is over-doing it and leaving all your food
ravaged with freezer burn, you should always be
in control of the temperature. If youre having
either of these problems and find yourself
frequently throwing food away, its time to call
an expert. The problem may be resolved with some
simple maintenance, or you might even need a
mechanical replacement for internal components
like the thermostat. Either way, its best to
contact a professional before its too late. Did
