Canal-front homes in Apollo Beach sit close enough to the bay that damp, salty air reaches the kitchen whenever the lanai slider opens. Over time it pits the condenser coil. A second fridge in the garage has it harder: on a July afternoon the garage can pass 100 °F, beyond many models' rating, and the compressor runs almost nonstop.
After an outage, a fridge that returns with a blank display or a silent fan may have a damaged control board. If floodwater reached it, leave it unplugged and have it inspected.
A Check You Can Do Before the Visit
Look at the condenser behind the kick plate for lint or white crust. Close the door on a dollar bill around the gasket. If it slides out with no drag, the seal is letting humid air in. The technician tests the sealed system, fans and controls and gives the price before repairs.
Before You Book: Refrigerator Checks
Safe first steps for the most urgent refrigerator problems, and when to leave it to a technician.
- Not Cooling
- Make sure nobody has knocked the temperature dial or display to off or to a warmer setting, then take off the grille at the base and see whether dust is packed onto the condenser coil.
- Freezer Not Freezing
- With the freezer open, hold in the door switch and listen for the fan, and move any food that is blocking the air vent on the back wall.
- Leaking Water
- Close the refrigerator's water supply, dry the floor, and watch whether water comes back; if it returns with the supply off, the drain or defrost system is the more likely source.
- Compressor Failure
- This is not a do-it-yourself repair: the compressor sits inside the sealed refrigerant circuit. Only note whether a click repeats from the back every few minutes, and pass that along to the technician.
