One of the main reasons why it is so important to have your refrigerator repaired in East Brunswick is energy efficiency. No one wants an energy bill that’s higher than it needs to be, and when you don’t address issues with your door seal, compressor, thermostat, and ice build-up, your fridge is going to work harder than it needs to. Even if you have an energy-efficient refrigerator, the harder it works, the more energy it uses, and the more stress it undergoes. In addition to paying more for your energy use, you’ll likely need to buy a new fridge soon, too. All of that stress causes extensive damage and can burn out your appliance. The solution to saving money and elongating the life of your fridge is to call Mr. Appliance today.

In most cases, yes. But the truth is that if you let small issues that could have been repaired inexpensively run their course, you’ll be dealing with larger, expensive issues—and lots of them. Some repairs can be costly, but the general rule of thumb is that if the repair cost is more than 50% of what a new unit will run you, you should just go ahead and buy a new unit.

Most of the components or parts on your refrigerator can be replaced by our experienced service professionals, including:

• Thermostats
• Door seals and switches
• Compressor and condenser units
• Fans and evaporator units
• Electronic control board
• Water filters
• Light bulbs
• Ice makers
• Cold controls
• Defrost heaters
• Solenoids
• Valves
• Bins, drawers and shelves

It's important to keep your fridge set to the right temperature and not just to prevent rapid food spoilage. If it's even just a few degrees too warm, it can allow dangerous microorganisms such as Salmonella, E. coli O157:H7, and C. botulinum to grow in your food and seriously sicken your household members. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), your refrigerator should be set to no higher than 40 degrees Fahrenheit at a maximum. Many people have them set to about 37 degrees as a default, which is cold enough to avoid dangerous bacteria growth but not cold enough to freeze your food or wilt your produce. Your freezer should be set to about 0 degrees Fahrenheit to make sure your frozen goods stay frozen.

Some homes, especially older ones that have undergone a lot of shifting and settling over the years, just don't have perfectly even floors. If you've ever dropped an apple on your kitchen floor and had it go rolling away, you already know you're not dealing with a completely level surface. The truth is that sitting unevenly can hurt fridge performance, requiring you to call for frequent refrigerator repair in East Brunswick, NJ. This is because the refrigerator cycles the refrigerant through evaporator and condenser coils, and an unlevel surface means it can have difficulty circulating refrigerant in its liquid form.

But don't worry—you don't have to have your entire floor replaced to get your fridge operating at optimal performance. Most refrigerators come with "leveling legs" or rollers that can be adjusted individually to compensate for a slanted floor. Place a leveling tool on top of the refrigerator and adjust the legs or rollers until the unit is sitting evenly.

Something is going on with your fridge, but is it the compressor or the thermostat? Could it be a major repair or a simple one? The only way to tell is to consult skilled East Brunswick appliance repair experts, and thankfully, you now have the phone number of a reliable team. The appliance experts at Mr. Appliance can help diagnose and fix issues with our same-day service to get your routines back on track.
