Have you ever opened your freezer and noticed that everything on the top shelves is no longer frozen but the meats on the lower shelves are still as hard as can be? If not, you may want to count yourself among a select group of individuals as it’s a problem our refrigerator repair pros have run across many times before. When it does happen to your favorite kitchen fridge/freezer, you’ll need to act fast.
Our qualified refrigerator repair technicians suggest taking a look at the shelves in the upper portion of the freezer first. If they are covered in what looks like a layer of frost, remove all of the items and expect the packaging for damages. Then transfer the undamaged items to the bottom shelves and consider tossing the rest. Why? All of that frost buildup, coupled with the uneven cooling issue, could mean that there is a coolant leak somewhere. And if there is a leak, it may be necessary to repair or replace the entire refrigerator/freezer.
Should the top shelves look normal and frost free, the problem could be nothing more than a dry rotted, buckled, torn or otherwise damaged gasket. In those cases, the refrigerator repair service call will generally be very quick and relatively inexpensive. That’s because many refrigerator/freezer gaskets tend to cost less than $100 a package and installing them is a rather straightforward affair. So much so, that some experienced DIY enthusiasts have previously removed and replaced the gaskets without our refrigerator repair technicians’ assistance.
However, if the gasket removal and replacement job gets botched, it could cause other problems to occur. For example, other areas of the refrigerator/freezer could heat up, thereby causing bacteria growth and food spoilage issues to crop up in no time at all. So if you are the least bit hesitant about being able to complete the replacement project on your own, it’s best to leave it to our refrigerator repair technicians.
