  1. #Frost_Build-UpFrost build-up in your freezer or refrigerator can prevent your appliance from working efficiently. The root cause is often a faulty defrost system, including the defrost heater and thermostat. If these components are not working, they may need replacement to restore proper functionality.

  2. #Water_Pooling Under the Fridge If you notice water pooling beneath your fridge, the issue could be a damaged drain pan or a blocked #defrost_drain. Start by inspecting the drain pan for cracks or holes and cleaning it if necessary. If the defrost drain is clogged, clear any debris to ensure proper water drainage.

  3. #Poor_Cooling If your fridge isn't cooling as it should, the condenser coils might be dirty. #Dust and grime on the coils can reduce cooling efficiency, so regular cleaning is important. Also, ensure your fridge is level and that the door seals are intact. If the temperature is still off, adjusting the #thermostat could help.

  4. #Unusual_Noises Fridges often make noises, but if you hear unusual sounds, it could indicate a problem. First, ensure your #fridge is level. Then, inspect the fan and #compressor for any loose or damaged parts that may need #tightening or replacement.

  5. #Food_Freezing If your food is freezing inside the fridge, it's likely due to blocked #air_vents. Ensure that food isn't #obstructing the vents, which can disrupt #airflow and cause uneven cooling. Adjust the #temperature settings between 35°F and 38°F to keep your food #fresh without #freezing.
