Let’s set the scene. You’re hungry. You stroll to the fridge like a boss. You open the door. And boom. Warm milk. Mushy ice cream. And a smell that says “I gave up two days ago”. So what now? New fridge? Call a repair guy who charges half your salary? Or just cry softly into a tub of expired yoghurt? Relax. We’re going to walk through this together. Like two friends fixing a fridge with a spanner and a prayer. And while we’re at it. Let me tell you why Electro Home should be the first place you look if you ever want to upgrade. But first. Let’s get that fridge back in the game.
Common Fridge Problems (And How to Fix Them Without Calling Your Uncle)
Problem 1: Fridge is running but not cooling
Alright. This one’s a classic. You hear the fridge buzzing. But your butter’s melting faster than your patience.
Try this:
- Check the thermostat setting
Someone may have turned it down by mistake (Blame the kids).
- Is the door sealing properly?
If cold air is leaking out. The fridge works overtime but nothing stays cold.
- Clean the condenser coils
Dusty coils means poor cooling. Grab a vacuum. Clean the back or bottom of the fridge (Yes, you’ll find 3 socks and a mystery button).
Problem 2: It’s too cold
Like… frozen juice cold. Everything’s turning into ice. Even the eggs look scared.
Try this:
- Check if the vent is blocked
Cold air has to move around. Don’t pack stuff too tight.
- Thermostat might be faulty
If it’s gone mad. The fridge doesn’t know when to stop. You can replace it yourself
Or you know… convince a cousin with tools.
Problem 3: Fridge makes weird noises
Humming is normal. Clunking, knocking, or high-pitched whining? Not so much.
Try this:
- Check for loose trays or bottles
Sometimes the noise is just two ketchup bottles arguing.
- Make sure the fridge is level
Uneven legs means weird sounds.
- Fan could be dirty
Clean it gently Or replace it if it’s struggling.
Problem 4: Water leaking from somewhere
You didn’t order fridge tears. So where’s the water coming from?
Try this:
- Blocked defrost drain
This one’s sneaky. Find the drain hole (usually at the back). Clean it out with warm water and a straw or pipe cleaner.
- Check the door gasket
Loose seal = warm air = condensation = puddle party.
When to Stop Fixing and Start Shopping
Sometimes. It’s just not worth fixing. Like when:
- The fridge is more than 10 years old
- You’ve had the same problem 3 times already
- You’re spending more on repairs than on groceries
And that’s when Electro Home steps in. Like the hero your sandwich deserves.
