Fridge Appliance Repair
Which Fridges Can We Fix?
Free-standing
These refrigerators are among the most frequent models on the market. Their most common types (French door, side-by-side etc.) can be found in almost every Canadian house, but it doesn’t influence their repair difficulty. The most common problems encountered by free-standing types are the device’s too high internal temperature and door malfunctions. Such issues may require professional equipment that is not always available to ordinary homeowners.
Built-in
Unlike the previous one, this type of refrigerator is only gaining in popularity. But because of this appliance’s complex installation and built-in nature, it can be challenging to get to the place of failure if you detect the first symptoms of a malfunction. This model also has compressors at the top, which often results in higher overheating than free-standing models.
Ice Maker
Ice makers are pretty expensive appliances. They are made of stainless steel, so they are durable. There are counter-top, portable, under-counter, ice makers, modular (ice machine head) ice makers and ice dispensers. They produce ice the same way, but the dispenser and modular ice maker are more advanced appliances.
Wine cooler
This type of refrigerator is distinctly different from previous ones because even its name indicates a particular way of using it. The difference is not limited to the name – at the same time, it’s not easy to repair. In addition to frequent compressor problems due to overheating or lack of power to start, these devices have issues with the thermostat and capacitor, which in turn affect the already mentioned compressor.
