We're leaving for the summer. Unplug the fridge or leave it on?

Either works if done right. Unplugged, empty it, clean it and prop the doors open. Running, keep the AC at a sensible setting and ask a neighbor to check it.

Is an older compact refrigerator worth repairing?

Fans, thermostats and defrost parts are worth fixing. A sealed-system leak on an old compact unit usually is not, and we will tell you.

Small kitchens, closed houses and rural power

Many manufactured homes around Zephyrhills have a compact refrigerator fitted into a narrow space, with little room around the coils. Dust and pet hair settle there, the condenser fan works harder, and the box creeps warm. Seasonal homes add their own problem: a refrigerator shut off with the doors closed for the summer grows mold, while one left running in a house with the AC turned up works harder all season. Power comes from Duke Energy Florida, Withlacoochee River Electric or Tampa Electric depending on the road, and rural lines can stay down longer after storms like Milton.

A safe check: unplug the unit, clean the coils and fan blade with a soft brush, and confirm nothing is stacked tight against the back. If the freezer is cold but the fresh-food side is warm, look for frost on the freezer's back panel, a sign of a defrost fault.

Planning a visit out here

Distances in east Pasco are longer, so include your park name and lot number, gate instructions, or directions to a rural drive when you book. The technician diagnoses the problem, explains it and gives the price before work. If a part is model-specific, we order it and return.

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.

Symptoms, causes and repair-or-replace advice for every type of refrigerator are in our complete refrigerator repair guide.
