Simple Solutions for Addressing Common Refrigerator Repair Issues • Noisy Refrigerator • There are a certain amount of sound a fridge can make that’s normal. However, when it begins to transcend from normal sound to excessive noise, something must be done. The action here depends on the source of the sound. When the sound originates from beneath the fridge, the condensing defrost tray is the likely culprit. When it is from the back, a loose compressor or fan is the likely cause. When all these are adjusted and the noise persists, call a refrigerator repair specialist. • Refrigerator Fails to Run • This may be due to a basic power problem. First check if the fridge is plugged in. Then check if the outlet is intact. Also, you should check if the refrigerator cabinet light is on. If it is not on, it signifies lack of power in the fridge. This is indicative of a power cord issue. If the light is on and the fridge fails to cool, the condenser is faulty.
