Long summers and a hard working fridge
Hot months keep a refrigerator running almost without a break. Dust and pet hair cling to the condenser coils, which shed heat from the back. Clogged coils make the compressor work harder and wear faster. The compressor is the pump that moves coolant through the fridge. Extra fridges in hot garages fail even sooner. Ice makers and water valves also clog with minerals from local water.
How a fridge visit runs
Our tech checks the temperature in the fridge and the freezer. After that, the fans, start relay and defrost heater each get a meter check. The defrost heater melts frost off the cooling coils each day. We also clean the coils if they are thick with dust. You hear the price up front, before any work. A fan or relay is often a simple swap. A leak in the sealed system of an old fridge may make replacing it wiser.
Over a hundred days of 90 degree heat
Bush Intercontinental Airport sits about 13 miles east of Northgate Forest. Weather records there show about 102 days a year at or above 90 degrees. Mornings often bring humidity over 90 percent as well. A fridge in that heat cycles on and off all day. Every opening of the door lets in warm, damp air. Frost then builds faster on the cooling coils. When the defrost system fails, that frost blocks the airflow and the fridge warms.
