Reactive Blog #5 - Fridge Freezer Fixes

Fridge Freezer Fixes


A common and annoying problem you may have with your fridge freezer is a beeping alarm going off. This blog should help you find the solution to your problems.


Check the Fridge Door Seals


Broken or cracked door seals may prevent the fridge from closing, like any other door. Most of the time the seals are just dirty, which will also prevent them from closing. Wipe around the door seals with a wet cloth and try closing the doors again. If it appears the seals are cracked or broken. Your best option would be to replace the seals on the door. This should fix your problem.

Check If Fridge Is Overfilled


Over filling your fridge or freezer will stop the doors from shutting properly. This can cause it to start beeping, warning you that the fridge is not shut. It is best to either rearrange what is in the fridge so it will shut or to remove some of the least important items from the fridge.

Defrost the Freezer


If your fridge freezer does not have an auto-defrost function, then excessive ice can build up in the freezer and can cause the alarm to go off. Check the freezer and see if there is a build up of ice in the icebox or freezer. To fix this problem you should switch off the fridge and let the ice melt. Once the fridge is defrosted, the beeping should stop.

Check the Fridge Is on an Even Surface


For a fridge to function properly it must be placed on an even and flat surface. Even a slight slant will cause the fridge to set off a beeping alarm. Check if the fridge is balanced evenly and then see if the beeping stops, this should fix your problem.
