Refrigerator

The lifespan of a refrigerator is anywhere between 10-20 years depending on how well it is maintained. Here are some factors that can help you decide whether a repair makes more sense or replacement: Age of the fridge- If the fridge is older than 15 years, consider replacement Electricity cost- If you have a 10 year old fridge, investing in a highly rated energy efficient new fridge to cut back on electricity costs, would make sense. Overall assessment- Spend time in assessing the problem with the fridge and understand your choices from the service expert

When you open the fridge, warm air combines with the cold air and condenses on the sides of the fridge creating moisture. This may result in excess build up of frost which may result in freezer burn or spoiled food.

With regards to a fridge, following problems can occur: If the fridge is noisy especially when you open the door, the evaporator or the condenser fan blade may be at fault When the evaporator fan motor fails A defective condenser fan motor

Refrigerator maintenance is very simple and you can do it yourself. Following are some tips: Inspect the door gasket for dirt.
