Dacor Freezer Repair Smithboro
Whether you own Dacor’s Distinctive Freestanding 4-Door Refrigerator or a smaller version of it, lack of maintenance will cause regular problems with your freezer element. You need to keep your Dacor Freezer Repair Smithboro and fridge away from direct sunlight at all time. The fridge should also be properly balance and a piece of wood can be used if the legs are uneven in the fridge. Simple but regular maintenance by a professional technician can also improve the life of the fridge, making it work efficiently and effectively. The freezers of Dacor are generally fuss free but the following issues are common –
No Cooling in the Freezer – If you have a fridge freezer combo and your freezer element is not cooling, the first thing to blame is the condenser coils. These coils should be cleaned semi-annually, otherwise they lead to issues with cooling. The evaporator fan motor can also be the culprit. It is a small fan located in the removable back panel of the fridge. Sometimes, the start relay can cause issues. The evaporator coils should also be checked to see if any frosting over has occurred. Other problem areas which should be left to the professionals are compressor, main control board, display, thermostat and the condenser fan motor.
Clicking Sound in the Freezer – The clicking sound in your upright freezer is caused due to two main components working erratically – the start relay and the compressor. If the start relay is the source, the freezer would also stop working and the humming/clicking would indicate that the start relay needs replacement. The compressor, on the other hand, is directly connected to the working of the start relay. Sometimes, the noise can come from the compressor itself and if that is the case, only a licensed Dacor technician should replace it.
Water Leaks in the Freezer – If the small freezer is leaking water, the most common part to get checked is the defrost drain. The defrost drain can often get clogged because of getting frozen. This is the reason why water is getting leaked inside the freezer. The frozen defrost drain can cause the water to overflow and there would be dripping water at the bottom of the freezer. It is best to call a professional and have it repaired. This is another problem that is caused due to lack of maintenance in the freezer.
Only Top Shelf Getting Frozen – This is for those freezers that have multiple shelves. If only the shelf at the top is getting frozen, the sealed system closest to that shelf might be leaking. First of all, check if the other shelves are functioning properly. If they are, then this is the most likely cause behind it. Usually, the entire freezer is replaced in such a case because simply replacing the sealed system tends to be cost prohibitive. However, a Dacor freezer repair Smithboro technician should be called in to get the system checked before any decisions are made.
Indicator Light of the Freezer is Out – In case the indicator light is out, it could be due to a malfunctioning indicator light or burned out light that simply needs to be replaced. Sometimes, however, you might have to call a Dacor Appliance repair Smithboro technician because there could be an issue with the display and user control board.
