Fixing the fridge. Does it make sense?
Fixing the fridge. Does it make sense?
A broken refrigerator is always a problem. Especially if it's summer outside. What we can do? Look for a good service center and experienced private masters or is it better to go to the store for a new one? A new refrigerator will be expensive, because a good one will definitely not be cheap.
In which case you need to change the refrigerator
Everything will depend on the degree of failure and your desire. If the damage is minor, it is easier to call the master or try yourself (if you are 100% sure that you will not make it worse). Well, if you need a complex repair, it is better to start asking the price for new products, but before that, still specify the cost of repair.
If the equipment requires serious repairs, such as rewinding the motor or replacing the evaporator, you can take your time with the purchase. Such a unit after a good repair can work another 10-15 years.
If the refrigerator is younger, you should think about the feasibility of purchasing a new model. Especially if the repair will cost a little less than the new one.
Who should I contact?
A familiar master or specialist from a little-known company is not the best choice for repairing Your refrigerator. Most often, he is not able to take responsibility for his work. Moreover, such repairs are often much more expensive than reported by phone. Be careful! It is better to contact immediately the professionals from the company "WILSHIRS refrigerators & appliances, Inc."
How to extend the life of the refrigerator
To make the refrigerator last longer without repair, use a few simple tips to follow.
- Install the refrigerator away from radiators and kitchen stoves. When installing Underfloor heating, leave a small place without heating, to install a refrigerator on it.
- Do not install the unit in a niche where it will not have access to free air circulation.
- Distribute the products in the chamber so that each of them has convenient access to cold air. Avoid excessive clogging of the cameras with food.
- Make sure that the refrigerators door is always closed. To do this, put the front legs slightly higher than the rear. Then the door will slam shut on its own. In addition, you need to monitor the cleanliness of the seal on the door. Otherwise, contamination of the seal will prevent the door from closing properly. You can check the quality of closing with a sheet of paper. If you put a piece of paper between the door and the wall of the refrigerator, and it does not fall out, then the seal copes with its function. If the paper falls out or is easily pulled out, the seal must be replaced.
