Do-It-Yourself Refrigerator Repair Tips

Before you call for a repair, here are a few simple tips to troubleshoot common refrigerator issues:

Refrigerator Not Cooling?

Check that the thermostat is set correctly and clean the condenser coils to remove any dirt or dust build-up. Make sure there’s enough space around the fridge for proper airflow.

Water Leaking?

Inspect the water line behind the refrigerator for any leaks or damage. Ensure the defrost drain is clear of clogs to prevent water from pooling.

Excessive Frost in Freezer?

Check the door seal to ensure it’s not letting in warm air, which can cause frost. You can also try manually defrosting the freezer and monitor if the issue persists.
