How to Understand that Defrost Thermostat is NOT OK?

Visual Check

Before ordering a new refrigerator and throwing the old one away, follow these easy steps of personal self-inspection. Of course, be sure that it is possible to have full access to the appliances, and you can safely perform all actions without damaging anything or anyone. Otherwise, call our same-day appliance repair service, and our specialists will help you.

Step 1

Make a thorough inspection of all food inside your fridge, going from upper to bottom shelves. Is it severely damaged? In your personal view, do you see the following temperature fluctuations:

the temperature gets too high

the temperature gets too low

temperature is unstable, fluctuating too much in general.

If you notice that most food is damaged in some way, make the following notices:

What type of damage do you see?

In what part of the fridge does food seem to be damaged more/less?

In what way is the food damaged?

What time approximately was your fridge out of order?

Do you hear strange sounds while opening/closing the fridge?

After performing these actions, you can pass to the second step. Carefully write down all your notices, as they also might be useful if you contact the specialist and start describing the actual performance of your fridge.

Step 2

Check the thermostat dial. It might be knocked while using the refrigerator. As a rule, the optimal temperature for food storage is between 30 and 40′ F (-1 and 4 C).

Keeping this information in mind, inspect the dial and fix it on 37′ F ( 3 C). After that, put a meat thermometer and check it after an hour.

Step 3

If the dial is set correctly but the temperature is wrong, you need to reach the thermostat by unscrewing the fridge’s cover. Be careful while unplugging the appliance and use the correct tools. You will need to have a new thermostat to replace the broken one.
