Problem 1: A leaking fridge 

This one is not only a problem, but it also’s a messy problem, and it can be dangerous considering some extra water can make the floor a hazard for everyone in the house. Luckily there’s usually one main culprit of a leaking fridge. 

You may have a blocked defrost drain. To fix this all you have to do is clear that blockage and let the water drain properly. For this issue try:

• To flush the debris out with warm water 
• Remove the blockage by hand

Problem 2: A frosted fridge 

It’s already cold enough outside you don’t need your fridge looking like a winter wonderland. If you see a buildup of ice in the back of your fridge you’ll need to address it quickly. First, why is this happening:

• A door being open for too long
• Broken seals that don’t preserve the temperature 

These buildups of ice happen from humidity and cold meeting to form ice, the best way to prevent them is to firmly shut your doors. Try to:

• Shut refrigerator door quickly 
• Check and replace broken door seals 
• Lean the fridge so gravity helps you always close the door 
• Put a “close door” sign on the door, to remind whoever opens it

Problem 3: A noisy refrigerator 

A noisy refrigerator is a problem not just because of the disturbance of the sounds but because it could be cycling too often and spending lots of energy. 

The main reason this could be happening is due to dirty condenser coils, usually placed at the bottom of the appliance. Simple vacuuming and cleaning of the coil can solve this issue.
