If you open your refrigerator only to find that it’s not cool inside, it’s a clear sign that something is wrong. However, you don’t need to wait until your fridge stops working to call an appliance or HVAC repair service to provide repairs. If you notice any of these more subtle indicators that your refrigerator is malfunctioning, schedule a service call.

3 Common Signs of Refrigerator Malfunction

1. Puddles on the Kitchen Floor

It’s normal for refrigerators to produce some condensation. However, a properly working fridge has lines and drains designed to collect moisture and direct it safely away. If you notice water on your floor, however, these drainage lines may be clogged or punctured. Have them addressed right away to prevent further damage to your appliance.

2. Loudness

Your fridge may have a loose part, or the fan could be failing. Poorly performing appliances and operational inefficiency will drive your energy bills up. If your refrigerator is loud, call an appliance or HVAC repair company to inspect your appliance and replace any faulty parts.

3. Too Hot

There should never be a point where the inside of your fridge is hot, although the outside may throw off some heat as the appliance releases heat from the interior. However, if it’s warmer than usual, you may have a clogged condenser or a worn motor causing the appliance to overheat. A professional heating and cooling repair company can pinpoint the specific cause to prevent damage from overheating.
