Hartman’s Appliance Repair Offers Troubleshooting To Keep Refrigerators And Freezers Cooling This Summer

United States - July 17, 2022 —

The Hartman’s Appliance Repair team has provided appliance repair to homeowners throughout Central Florida, Orlando, Tampa, and surrounding areas for more than 30 years.

Refrigerators and freezers are essential appliances for Florida homeowners, especially during the summer heat. Hartman’s Appliance Repair, a family-owned repair business offering affordable and often same-day service to Central Florida residents, knows how frustrating it can be if these appliances aren’t working correctly.

Food will spoil after four hours if a refrigerator stops cooling, even if the doors stay closed. Food lasts longer in a freezer — 24 hours in a half-full freezer and 48 hours in a full freezer. This food loss is costly for homeowners, so it’s imperative to assess the problem and make repairs quickly.

Not all appliance problems require a professional repair company. Instead, running through a quick checklist can solve the issue in some cases or help uncover the root of the matter in others. In either case, homeowners should try to troubleshoot the problem before calling a professional, as any information learned can be used to get the appliance back up and running.

Troubleshooting tips for refrigerators and freezers

If a refrigerator isn’t cooling correctly, try these steps before calling a refrigerator repair service:

- If the refrigerator stops working but the home’s electricity is still on, ensure the unit is still plugged in — some plugs can loosen from electrical sockets. Next, check the electrical panel to ensure the circuit breakers and fuses haven’t been tripped.
- If the fridge is on but isn’t cooling, check the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Some models have temperature controls that can be triggered by items resting against the sensor.
- If the refrigerator is plugged in but still isn’t working — and if it has an electronic control pad — unplug the appliance for about a minute, then plug it back in. This action can reset the appliance’s onboard computer memory.

A standalone freezer should maintain a temperature of zero degrees Fahrenheit or below. If the freezer isn’t working as designed, run through this quick checklist:

- Make sure the unit is properly plugged in and nothing has loosened the connection. Then, check the home’s electrical panel to ensure the circuit breaker or fuse hasn’t been tripped.
- Next, ensure no one has accidentally adjusted the temperature control. 
- If the freezer has an electronic touchpad, unplug the unit for about a minute, then plug it back in. Doing so can reset the digital controls or onboard memory.

If these tips fail, call in a pro

Call a professional appliance repair service if these troubleshooting tips fail to address the problem. Check online reviews or ask neighbors and friends for referrals. Ensure the service can fix the specific equipment brand and look at the experience level of the business and its employees. 

A credible repair business lists its prices upfront, gives a precise estimate of repair costs, and provides a warranty of its service. For example, Hartman’s Appliance Repair uses new parts and waives its diagnostic fee if a return visit is needed within 30 days of the initial visit. Its technicians can repair most appliances the same day services are requested.

Conclusion

Hartman’s Appliance Repair offers affordable and fast repairs to keep Central Florida’s homeowners’ machines running smoothly. Its highly trained technicians can address any issue cleanly and professionally, from refrigerators and freezers to cooktops, ovens, dishwashers, and more.
