Know When Buying a New
Refrigerator is better than a Repair
• Excessive Condensation
o If you notice that your refrigerator sweats like anything, it might indicate
excessive condensation. Be sure to check the rubber sealing around the
door. In most cases, you will know it for sure if there are water droplets
there. Any signs of mold or mildew also confirm that your refrigerator has
issues cooling properly. Now, you have to check how bad the sealing is. If
the problem has just started, you may be able to repair it on your own or
by a professional. If problem persists for long, your refrigerator would no
longer be usable.
• Motor Getting Hot
o It is quite common to feel the back of your refrigerator to be a bit warmer,
but there is something wrong if it is extremely hot. There are coils in the
back of the refrigerator that may be warm but should be hot because
they are properly insulated. In most cases, it is a good idea to call a repair
technician because the coils have to be inspected thoroughly. You may
consider repairing the coils, but keep in mind that it may cost a lot and
you may not experience the same performance as before. In fact, it is a
better idea to buy a new one if you already have an old refrigerator.
