FRIDGE & FREEZER REPAIRS IN CHRISTCHURCH

Fridge and freezer repairs are vital for maintaining food safety and preventing spoilage. Common issues include inadequate cooling, unusual noises, and frost buildup, which can stem from problems like faulty thermostats, damaged door seals, or blocked vents. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning coils and checking seals, can help prevent these issues. When a refrigerator or freezer malfunctions, it's essential to address the problem quickly, as even a minor issue can lead to significant energy waste or food loss.

TIPS & TRICKS

  • Empty and Clean Regularly: Aim to empty your fridge and freezer every few months. Remove expired items and wipe down shelves with warm, soapy water.

  • Use Baking Soda: Place an open box of baking soda in the fridge to neutralize odors. Replace it every three months for best results.

  • Check the Seals: Inspect door seals for cracks or dirt. Clean them with a mixture of warm water and soap to ensure a tight seal, which helps maintain temperature.

  • Clean the Coils: Vacuum the condenser coils on the back or underneath the fridge every six months to improve efficiency and prevent overheating.

  • Keep It Organized: Use clear containers to store food items, making it easier to see what you have and preventing spills.

  • Defrost Regularly: If you have a manual defrost freezer, defrost it when ice buildup exceeds a quarter-inch to maintain efficiency.

  • Avoid Overloading: Do not overcrowd the fridge or freezer, as this can restrict airflow and lead to uneven temperatures.

  • Wipe Spills Immediately: Clean up any spills as soon as they occur to prevent odors and bacteria growth.

 

By following these tips, you can ensure your fridge and freezer remain clean, efficient, and safe for food storage.
