Refrigerator Repair Tips & Services – Keep Your Fridge Running Smoothly

Got a fridge that’s making weird noises or not keeping food cold? You’re not alone. A faulty refrigerator can ruin meals, waste energy, and drive you crazy. The good news is most issues are fixable with a few simple steps, and if you need a professional, Wells Appliance Repairs is just a phone call away.

The first thing to check is the power. It sounds boring, but a tripped breaker or a loose plug is the most common reason a fridge stops working. Reset the breaker, make sure the cord is snug, and give the unit a minute before you test it again. If the fridge still won’t cool, move on to the next checks.

Quick DIY Checks Before Calling a Pro

Temperature settings. Most manufacturers recommend a setting between 3°C and 5°C for the fridge and around -18°C for the freezer. If the dial was accidentally moved, you might think the fridge is broken when it’s just too warm.

Door seals. A torn or dirty seal lets warm air in, forcing the compressor to work harder. Close the door on a piece of paper; if it slides out easily, the seal needs cleaning or replacement.

Condenser coils. Dusty coils can overheat the system. Pull the fridge away from the wall, locate the coils (usually at the back or underneath), and vacuum them gently. This simple maintenance can improve cooling by up to 30%.

Airflow. Make sure nothing is blocking the vents inside the fridge. Overpacked shelves or large items jammed against the back wall restrict cold air circulation.

When to Call Wells Appliance Repairs

If you’ve gone through the basics and the fridge still runs warm, it’s time for a professional. Common issues that need a qualified tech include a faulty compressor, refrigerant leaks, or a broken thermostat. Trying to fix these yourself can be dangerous and might void any warranty.

Regular maintenance can prevent costly breakdowns. We recommend a professional check‑up at least once a year. During a service, we’ll clean the coils, test the temperature sensors, and make sure the compressor is running smoothly.

And don’t forget the little things you can do every month: wipe down the interior, keep the door gasket clean, and avoid placing hot food directly inside. These habits extend the life of your refrigerator and keep your energy bills down.

So the next time your fridge starts acting up, start with the easy checks. If the problem sticks, call Wells Appliance Repairs and let our experts handle the heavy lifting. A cold fridge means fresh food, lower bills, and peace of mind – and we’re here to make sure that stays true.
