If the problem persists despite cleaning, your refrigerator may have its temperature set too low. It will continue to run at very low temperatures. Adjust the temperature of your fridge to determine if cycling is affected. If you have persistent problems, contact a professional fridge repairman. Water leakage, a problem that can occur in refrigerators, is quite common. This can be caused by a blocked drain, or a clogged or frozen water supply.
A majority of refrigerators come with both an condenser fan or evaporator fan. The condenser fan cools the unit's condenser. While the compressor runs, the evaporator fan draws air over the freezer’s evaporator coils. Each fan runs simultaneously and problems with one motor can make your refrigerator louder. If you are unsure if these fans have broken motors, it is possible to inspect them. Before performing the inspection, unplug your refrigerator.
You can block the drain of your unit's frozen defrost by food particles or other debris. It is typically accessible from inside your freezer. Warm water can be used to flush the drain, but you may have to manually clean it. You can locate the defrost drain line at the back your refrigerator. To clean any clogs, use hot water and soap.
Refrigerator repair averages around $220. Actual costs will vary depending on the type of repair required. The cost of replacing a temperature sensor may be lower than that of replacing a compressor, but it is more expensive. It's usually cheaper to repair a refrigerator if it is less 10 years old than the new refrigerator. A refrigerator less than 5 years of age is usually worth the cost, as it will likely last for many years.
