Is your Fridge Leaking?

Is your fridge leaking
Is your fridge leaking

A leaking fridge is a common problem that should be dealt with quickly. There could be any number of issues which can cause your refrigerator to leak. A leaking fridge can spoil our food, create a mess, make the floor slippery and be a safety threat. We depend on efficient fridges to keep our food fresh, cool and bacteria-free. An inefficient fridge uses more energy and does not perform its function well. Keeping your refrigerator well-maintained and serviced at all times is crucial. Is your fridge overdue for some service or maintenance? Schedule a refrigerator customer care service with OneDios.

Following are some of the reasons why your refrigerator might be leaking:

  • A blocked defrost drain

The defrost drain can easily get blocked because of an overstuffed freezer. Resulting in ice build-up as the condenser coils have to work harder to keep your refrigerator cool. This ice build-up instead of draining out pools at the bottom of the fridge or on the shelves due to the clogged defrost drain. 

To unclog a blocked defrost drain, remove frozen food items, empty the freezer, disconnect it, or squirt some hot water down the defrost drain. Ensure you regularly clean the drain hole to avoid water collecting inside the refrigerator. If the leakage still doesn’t stop, it’s time to call an expert. Call OneDios or download the OneDios app when you require immediate refrigerator repairs. 

  • Clogged water supply line

If your fridge has a water dispenser or an ice maker, there’s a chance that the water-supply line has a leak or is bent, causing your refrigerator to leak water from the back onto the kitchen floor. If the water supply line is torn or has a hole, replace it. Be sure to check your water line occasionally for dust, debris, or wear and tear. If you are facing any issues or need help replacing the fridge water supply line, download the OneDios app and put in a request today. It is a one-stop shop for all your refrigerator-related issues and queries. 

  • Uneven sitting fridge

Water can spill from a drain pan if the fridge isn’t level. A refrigerator is not perfectly level, and the front is somewhat higher for the coolant to flow effectively. If the coolant does not flow properly, water may collect under the fridge because of condensation. Ensure that your refrigerator is on a level surface and isn’t unbalanced. Refer to the user manual and learn how to adjust the level or ask a professional to do it. For any queries regarding fridge placement, feel free to call experts at OneDios.

  • Issue with drain pan

One of the most crucial parts of your refrigerator is the drain pan. The drain pan’s primary purpose is to take any extra water from the defrost cycle and send it to your refrigerator’s evaporator coils to evaporate. Dirt might build up in the pan, obstructing the defrost cycle and causing a refrigerator leak. Keep the dirt pan clean and check for holes and wear and tear. If you are uncomfortable cleaning your fridge’s condenser coils or drain pan, download the OneDios app and call a refrigerator service expert.

  • A loose door seal

The refrigerator door gasket or seal keeps the door airtight. A freezer door that doesn’t seal properly can lead to leaks if the freezer reaches melting temperatures. Check your door gaskets and seals for cracks and tears and replace them. If you are facing any issues or need help replacing the fridge gasket, download the OneDios app and put in a request today. Ice build-up may also not let the door close properly. Defrost the freezer by removing everything from it.

How to Fix a Noisy Refrigerator?

how to fix a noisy refrigerator

Noises or strange sounds from any appliance indicate that an underlying problem needs your attention. All machines make some or other noise, but an unfamiliar noise is a cause for concern. Likewise, all refrigerators make some noise; the soft humming sound reassures you that your food is cold and safe and your appliance is working correctly. An annoying or loud noise coming from your fridge needs to be investigated. Especially if it is accompanied by other issues like food not cooling appropriately, the ice maker not working, or the refrigerator not switching on, it’s better to call a professional. Call OneDios or download the OneDios app when you require immediate refrigerator repairs. 

We depend on efficient fridges to keep our food fresh, cool and bacteria-free. An inefficient fridge uses more energy and does not perform its function well. Keeping your refrigerator well-maintained and serviced at all times is crucial. Is your fridge overdue for some service or maintenance? Schedule a refrigerator customer care service with OneDios. The first thing to do is observe where the noise comes from – back, bottom, or inside of the refrigerator. To avoid unnecessary repairs, it’s essential to familiarise yourself with the various noises a fridge makes. Following are some of the noises your refrigerator might be making:

  • Locate the Source of the Noise

Firstly, identifying the source of noise is crucial once you hear noise coming from it. Is it the back, bottom, or inside of the fridge? This will help you narrow down the possible issue, meaning you will have to troubleshoot less. Noise from under the refrigerator could be due to a loose drain pan, or coming from inside could indicate an issue with the evaporator fan. So, locating the noise source is crucial in diagnosing and dealing with the problem. If you are facing any issues with your refrigerator, download the OneDios app and put in a request today. It is a one-stop shop for all your refrigerator-related problems and queries. 

  • Sounds like squealing or a bird chirping

The fridge isn’t supposed to sound like a bird or mouse trapped inside. If your fridge squeals or chirps, the evaporator fan is probably malfunctioning. Any issues with the evaporator fan mean the refrigerator won’t cool adequately. Unplug the fridge and check whether the fans are operating smoothly.

  • Sounds like buzzing or humming

Buzzing or humming sounds are often heard when the light is probably close to blowing out. You can easily replace the lamp on some refrigerator units, while others need a technician. It may be time to repair or replace the compressor if your refrigerator produces a deafening buzzing sound instead of a gentle hum. If you are looking forward to buying an Extended Warranty plan for your refrigerator, download the OneDios app and put in a request today.

  • Knocking sound

A knocking sound in the refrigerator usually indicates a failing condenser or malfunctioning fan motor. This is probably due to the fan being too hot or running too hard. When the condenser coils or fan are dirty, the refrigerator has to work overtime, which can cause it to heat up and hum loudly. Unplug the fridge and inspect the condenser fan located at the back for wear and tear and dust. Make sure that you keep them clean. If you are uncomfortable cleaning your fridge’s condenser coils, download the OneDios app and call a refrigerator service expert.

  • Clicking sound from the ice maker

If a clicking sound comes from your refrigerator, it’s probably from the ice maker. It indicates that the water line valve is loose or improperly connected. It usually happens when you move house or shift the refrigerator’s location. If you are facing any issues or need help replacing the fridge water supply line, download the OneDios app and put in a request today.

  • Rattling sound

When the drain pan under your fridge is loose, it produces a rattling noise. The drain pan needs to be secured back to resolve the issue. Download the OneDios app and contact a refrigerator service professional if you can’t fix your refrigerator’s drain pan.

  • Scraping or whirring sound

Whirring or scraping sounds from a frost-free refrigerator or freezer usually means ice has accumulated around one of the fans. You’ll also notice that your refrigerator isn’t as cool as it should be. There’s a chance your fan motor is broken, or the defrost timer may be faulty. The defrost timer has to be replaced if the refrigerator only makes much noise once or twice a day for around an hour. You must seek further investigation from a refrigerator repair expert. Call OneDios or download the OneDios app when you require immediate refrigerator repairs. 

  • Vibrating sound

A vibrating sound usually occurs when the refrigerator is not levelled or is uneven. In this case, the refrigerator’s compressor probably has to work hard, leading to a vibration sound. Water can also spill from a drain pan if the fridge isn’t level. Ensure that your refrigerator is on a level surface and isn’t unbalanced. Refer to the user manual and learn how to adjust the level or ask a professional to do it. For any queries regarding fridge placement, feel free to call experts at OneDios.

Is your Fridge Summer Ready?

A refrigerator is one of the essential pieces of equipment in the kitchen for keeping food safe. Refrigeration slows bacterial growth. Refrigerators have revolutionized food storage, allowing fruits, vegetables, meat, and grain products to stay fresh for days or weeks. Most refrigerators also have a freezer that can keep food frozen for months before thawing it out for a meal.

A fridge is a significant part of any home, and it’s hard to imagine living without one. Especially during the hot summer months, nothing is complete without chilled drinks, ice creams, and ice. To help you cope with the heat outside, your refrigerator must work hard to keep everything cool despite rising temperatures. An inefficient fridge uses more energy and does not perform its function well. Keeping your refrigerator well-maintained and serviced before summer arrives is crucial. Is your fridge overdue for some service or maintenance? Schedule a refrigerator customer care service with OneDios, before the summer heat gets too scorching.

Following are some steps that will help you to get your refrigerator summer-ready:

  • Check the refrigerator gaskets

The refrigerator door gasket or seal keeps the door airtight. If the seal is loose or has gaps, the fridge will not cool efficiently, and cold air will leak. Take a currency note, close the refrigerator, and push the note into the door seal. If the seal holds the note, it’s tight enough; if it falls out or is easy to pull free, the seal is too loose. The door seal will need to be replaced. If you are facing any issues or need help replacing the fridge gasket, download the OneDios app and put in a request today. It is a one-stop shop for all your refrigerator-related issues and queries. 

  • Clean the condenser coils

The condenser coils are located at the back of the refrigerator. Over time they get covered with dirt, dust, and pet hair and affecting the fridge’s functioning. Read the fridge manual carefully, and clean accordingly. Vacuum the coils or use a coil brush to remove the dust. Anything that obstructs the flow of air will reduce the condenser’s efficiency, so these coils should be cleaned regularly. If you are uncomfortable cleaning your fridge’s condenser coils, download the OneDios app and call a refrigerator service expert.

  • Keep the fridge stocked and well organized

Filling up the refrigerator helps the unit cool better and operate more efficiently. When stocking up, be careful not to block any vents or controls. A well-stocked refrigerator uses less energy compared to an almost empty fridge. Don’t buy stuff to fill the refrigerator; instead, fill pitchers with water and keep them in excess open spaces to create the full effect. Do not overstock the fridge, and ensure adequate space for the circulation of cool air inside. Keep the refrigerator well organized and the items covered. A neatly organized refrigerator saves money and time, reduces food waste and unpleasant smells, and increases the fridge’s efficiency. However, you can extend the life of your refrigerator with timely service and extend the warranty of your appliance.

  • Set correct temperature

For optimal performance and energy efficiency, the fridge and freezer temperatures must be set correctly. The refrigerator’s temperature should be at 4°C, and the freezer’s below 0°C. The temperature should be kept constant to keep food from spoiling. For any query regarding temperature levels, feel free to call experts at OneDios.

  • Remove old or expired items

Check the expiration dates of items, and make sure you take the expired items out of the fridge and throw them away so that it does not spoil or rot.

  • Clean the refrigerator

No one likes a messy and smelly fridge. The refrigerator should be cleaned weekly with a cloth and warm water to remove crumbs and spills. Remember to clean the door’s gasket to stay in good condition. Cleaning the refrigerator prevents it from leaking, smelling, and breaking down, making it more efficient. If you are looking forward to buying an Extended Warranty plan for your refrigerator, download the OneDios app and put in a request today.

  • Refresh the ice

Discard the old ice in the bin, wash the ice storage basket and ice trays, and make fresh ice before summer begins. Regular defrosting is needed to save energy and efficient functioning. 

  • Check the placement of the fridge

Do not place the refrigerator too close to the walls; a minimum 1-inch distance should be there. It helps dispense the heat generated during refrigeration and keeps the appliance running efficiently. Also, the fridge should not be placed directly near a heat source or where the sun will shine, as it will cause the unit to work harder and increase energy costs. For any queries regarding fridge placement, feel free to call experts at OneDios.

  • Check water filter

If your refrigerator has a water filter, check it and replace it if needed. A clean water filter will provide more sterile water and ensure that your ice maker runs more efficiently.

  • Repair and service

You should get the refrigerator serviced before summer arrives or call an expert. Getting your fridge serviced at least twice a year is always better. The expert will check the fridge and ensure it is in good condition. Regular maintenance increases the efficiency and lifespan of the refrigerator. Despite regular maintenance, things can sometimes go wrong with a fridge; in such cases, an extended warranty might help. If you are looking forward to buying an Extended Warranty plan for your refrigerator, download the OneDios app and put in a request today.

With these simple fridge maintenance tips, you can get your refrigerator ready for the coming summer season and enjoy the coolness with a cool summer drink rather than spending time and money on fixing it if something malfunctions. At OneDios, we handle all your refrigerator’s maintenance, repair, installation, and extended warranties.

Top 5 Must-Buy Accessories for your Refrigerator

Top 5 Must-Buy Accessories for your Refrigerator

Refrigerators being an essential home appliance, are frequently used all day long. Its usage can increase if the fridge’s stuff is organized nicely and neatly. Some of the times things go unnoticed and get spoilt without us even knowing. It is because we cannot see what exactly is inside the refrigerator.

A neatly organized refrigerator saves money and time, reduces food waste and unpleasant smells, and increases the fridge’s efficiency. However, you can extend the life of your refrigerator with timely service and extend the warranty of your appliance.

From stackable bins to additional drawers, there’s a solution to keep any food or beverage visible and easy to grab. Clear containers instead of coloured ones make items more visible and accessible. With advancements in technology, these parts and accessories for your fridge can make the groceries, fruits and veggies last longer and get things more organized.

  • Bottle and Can Organizers
  • Bottle racks, which get attached to the shelves, are a handy space saver. They keep your bottles in place – no more rolling or sliding on shelves.

  • Containers and Organizers for Storage
  • Transparent, clear and stackable storage containers should be used to store leftovers, cut fruits and vegetables, butter, cheese and raw meats.
