Iced drains and tired heaters in Wheaton kitchens
Wheaton refrigerators tucked into 1950s and 1960s cutouts run long cycles, and the defrost system pays for it. Several times a day a heater under the freezer coil switches on to clear the ice. When it burns out, frost builds until air stops moving and the fresh food side warms. Many models also wrap a small heater around the drain tube. If that one fails, melt water freezes in the tube and spreads as ice across the freezer floor. A start relay strained by those long cycles can begin to click. A damper can freeze in place. We test each heater, the relay and the damper.
A Wheaton refrigerator call, explained
Our tech opens the freezer back wall to read the frost pattern, since it shows which heater failed. Then the relay and the damper get metered. Heaters and relays are affordable parts, and they keep a fridge that fits your cutout in service. Wheaton households approve the figure in advance. A repair warranty follows every finished Wheaton job.
Refrigerators in Wheaton's 1950s and 1960s kitchens
Much of Wheaton's housing dates from the 1950s and 1960s. A kitchen from then was built around a smaller refrigerator. The cutout is tight on width and height. Few new models fit it without a remodel. A fridge that fits that cutout is worth fixing. We pull it out, clean the coils and test the fan and thermostat. If the compressor is the problem, we say so before any work. We fix top-freezer, French door and side-by-side models. Call (312) 600-6540 and we will set a time.
