Keep Your Cool<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Is your refrigerator struggling to keep up with the summer heat? Watch out for these warning signs: soft ice cream, quickly spoiling milk, or unusual noises. These could indicate a failing motor. Don’t wait until it’s too late – call Appliance Master today to prevent food loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is your freezer acting up?<\/strong>\u00a0Ice crystals, frost, or freezer burn might mean your freezer temperature is rising above 32\u00b0F. Check for air leaks by seeing if the door holds a slip of paper in place. Bottom freezer drawers should slide smoothly without gaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid DIY Fixes:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Clearing defrost drains or removing ice buildup can cause more harm than good. It won’t solve the problem and may void your warranty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clean Those Coils:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Regular cleaning can boost efficiency by up to 30%. Condenser coils should be cleaned at least once a year \u2013 more often if your refrigerator does not have good air circulation or if you have furry pets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mind The Room Temperature:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If the room temperature is too high, your refrigerator will need extra energy to stay cool. If it’s too low, the thermostat may not cycle properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid placing your fridge near heat sources or in cold areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Remember, you can help your refrigerator maintain its temperature by opening it less frequently, letting hot foods cool before putting them in the fridge, and keeping your fridge and freezer full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
