Refrigerator Repair in Illinois
Chicago winters and older two-flat kitchens bring their own refrigerator problems. Refrigerator Repair Help gets Illinois homeowners fast, honest refrigerator repairs from local technicians.
Refrigerator problems that are common in Illinois
Cold weather causes a problem many people don’t expect: a second fridge in an unheated garage or porch can stop keeping the freezer frozen in January. Most standard refrigerators control cooling from a sensor in the fresh-food section. When the room is near freezing, that sensor rarely calls for cooling, so the compressor barely runs and the freezer slowly thaws. Many manufacturer manuals list a minimum room temperature of around 55°F for this reason.
Older Chicago apartments and two-flats also tend to have tight kitchens and refrigerators wedged into alcoves with little airflow. Poor ventilation makes the compressor run hot all year. A technician can check the condenser, the fan and the clearance around the unit before recommending parts.
