It’s a feeling of dread every Edmonton homeowner knows. You open your fridge for a snack, and you’re met with warm air instead of a refreshing chill. A broken refrigerator isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s an emergency. With hundreds of dollars worth of groceries at risk of spoiling, you need a solution, and you need it fast.
At Fixnow Appliances, we understand the urgency. A faulty fridge can disrupt your entire household. Before you panic, know that there are fast, reliable solutions available right here in Edmonton. This guide will help you understand common fridge problems and decide on the best course of action.
Common Refrigerator Problems We Can Fix Today
Most refrigerator failures come down to a few common issues. If you’re experiencing any of these, turn to a professional right away:
- The Fridge is Not Cooling: This is the most critical issue. It could be caused by dirty condenser coils, a faulty thermostat, or a problem with the compressor.
- The Freezer is Iced Over: Excessive frost buildup can mean a problem with the defrost system, preventing your fridge from cooling properly.
- Strange or Loud Noises: Banging, clicking, or loud humming can indicate a problem with the condenser fan, evaporator fan, or a failing compressor.
- Water Leaking on the Floor: This is often caused by a blocked defrost drain or a cracked drain pan, which can lead to water damage if not addressed.
The Big Decision: Should You Repair or Replace?
When faced with a broken fridge, you need to make a smart financial decision. Here’s our honest advice:
When to Repair Your Refrigerator:
- It’s less than 10 years old. Most quality refrigerators are built to last 12-15 years. If your unit is relatively new, a repair is almost always the best investment.
- The repair cost is less than half the price of a new one. Fixing a fan or a thermostat is far more economical than buying a brand-new appliance.
- It’s a high-end model. Built-in or high-end refrigerators are significant investments, and repairing them is usually the most logical choice.
When to Consider a Replacement:
If your refrigerator is over a decade old, has had multiple repairs in the past, or needs a very expensive fix (like a new compressor), it may be time to consider a replacement. But that doesn’t have to mean a huge expense.
