Please read all of the appliance maintenance tips
below. All of the simple tips are meant to prevent your
appliances from future failure. Appliance repairs can be
costly and 99% of the time the reason for that is improper
usage or lack of very basic maintenance. We strongly encourage
that if your appliance, air conditioning or heating unit
don’t function properly and requires repair, simply
call one of our service technicians who has the knowledge,
experience and right tools to fix it. San Jose Air conditioning
/ Heating and Appliance repairs is available for all
your needs.
Most importantly, however, you can keep your refrigerator
running the way they should merely by following certain
simple preventive maintenance procedures regularly. Not
only will such maintenance help you derive the benefits
of maximum efficiency and performance, but it will also
result in a longer and more trouble-free life for your air
conditioner.
REFRIGERATORS, FREEZERS,
AND AUTOMATIC ICE MAKERS maintenance tips
Many refrigerators have forced-air condensers; that means
they have a small fan to pull air across the warm condenser
coils. These condensers must be cleaned regularly, usually
every thirty days. Regular cleaning is essential to prevent
a lint buildup far back in the condenser coils where you
cannot reach it with a vacuum. If you can reach the coils,
vacuum them thoroughly with a soft brush attached to the
vacuum hose.
To reduce the energy consumption of your refrigerator,
position it as far away from any warm air ducts or the range
as possible. Test your refrigerator's temperature periodically,
Put a glass of water in the refrigerator compartment for
24 hours, and then insert a reasonably accurate thermometer
in the water. To check the freezer temperature, place the
thermometer between several packages of food that have been
in the freezer compartment for at least 24 hours. The ideal
refrigerator temperature is around 37 degrees, while the
temperature in the freezer section should be about zero.
A colder refrigerator or freezer does not preserve food
any longer, and it costs you more for its higher energy
consumption.
Be sure that your refrigerator or freezer is connected
to a separate 15-ampere circuit with a grounded outlet.
The appliance should have adequate air space above, behind,
and on the sides, and never add more warm food than can
fit into 10 percent of the unit's storage compartment. The
box must be sealed effectively to prevent the hot air outside
from entering and warming the closed compartment. Test the
seal by closing the refrigerator door on a dollar bill.
Next, pull the bill out. If there is no resistance as you
pull, the door needs adjusting. The most frequent cause
of too much hot air entering the refrigerator, however,
is not a failure in the door's sealing ability; it is in
the fact that the door is opened too frequently. Make sure
that your refrigerator door is opened only as often and
for as long as is absolutely necessary to take out or put
back the items you refrigerate.
If the compressor runs continuously or excessively, there
may be any of several possible problems. You may have the
thermostat set too high or the door may not be providing
the proper seal. The required repairs are obvious. Other
possible causes for the compressor functioning excessively
are not so simple to fix. For example, there may be a leak
in the system. The thermostat would continually tell the
compressor to function, but the unit would not get any cooler
because there would be no refrigerant to vaporize in the
evaporator coils. You would have to call in a repairman
to fix the leak and to recharge the refrigerant.
If, on the other hand, the compressor does not function
at all, check for blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers
before examining the components of the cooling system. Other
possible causes of compressor malfunctions are defective
thermostat, defective timer, defective relay, and defective
compressor.
If the refrigerator is excessively noisy, you should be
able to correct the problem easily. A refrigerator that
is not level will clatter; check it with a carpenter's level
and adjust the refrigerator's position if so indicated.
Of course, a compressor that is loose in its mountings will
rattle noisily; merely tighten the mountings to quiet the
unit.
Finally, the noise may be caused by the tubing of the cooling
system hitting against the cabinet of the refrigerator.
If this is the case, you should be able to adjust the tubing
to, prevent it from striking the cabinet.
An automatic ice maker is merely a mold to which a temperature-sensing
switch is attached. When the water in the mold reaches a
preset temperature (usually around 15 degrees), a motor
is energized and the ejection cycle is initiated. As the
ice leaves the mold, fresh water flows in to fill it again.
A switch senses when the storage bin is full, and it stops
the ice-making action at the appropriate time.
If your automatic ice maker suddenly stops working, look
for a blockage in the water-inlet valve strainer. To clean
these strainers, you must unplug the refrigerator and remove
the water line where it enters the valve (usually at the
bottom edge of the refrigerator). Then, remove the stainless
steel strainer and clean it thoroughly with an old toothbrush.
You can usually trace unpleasant tastes or odors in the
ice to uncovered foods in the refrigerator compartment.
The odors get picked up and circulated throughout the cabinet,
and the ice absorbs them readily. Brown paper bags used
for food storage are often responsible for the tastes or
odors since these bags have a high sulfur content.
Be sure to unplug your refrigerator before attempting to
service it, and take special care to avoid damaging any
of the refrigerant-carrying tubing. Few refrigerator problems
originate in the sealed system itself. When they do, call
in a refrigeration technician. The refrigerants are non-toxic
under normal conditions of slight concentration, but they
must be handled with care. If you suspect a leak in a refrigerator,
open several windows, provide plenty of ventilation, and
shut off any open flames (such as pilot lights).
