Know when to Repair and when to Repurchase

Some fridges such as Sub Zero refrigerators are designed to preserve food for longer than what a traditional refrigerator is capable of. An air purifier keeps food at its optimal freshness point. Many models contain dual compressors and a moisture reduction feature.

Common Problems With Standard Units

A standard refrigerator that utilizes a single compressor and that does not contain an air purifier or moisture reduction feature may not adequately preserve food past the expiration date printed on its packaging. In fact, there may be instances in which vegetables and other perishable items spoil prematurely, due to inconsistent temperatures and high moisture content. As food spoils, methane is released.

This greenhouse gas smells unpleasant and could contaminate other food products that are located near the food product that was initially spoiled. Investing in a superior refrigeration unit will reduce the amount of spoilage that you encounter. All of the food that is stored within an advanced refrigerator appliance will retain its freshness for longer and will not smell or taste unpleasant. An appliance salesperson can show you some refrigerator models that are part of a classic, designer, or custom series.

Unit Types And Upkeep Needs

A quality refrigerator will contain a stainless steel frame. Some refrigerators may contain stainless steel doors and base pieces. A refrigerator may be designed to look like a series of cabinets or wall pieces. This type of unit may be designed to fit far back in a wall. The stainless steel frame that comprises a unit may have wood or laminate panels added to the front of it. If your kitchen contains a unique design layout, adding a refrigerator that is part of a designer series will support the design that is already featured in your kitchen.

An advanced refrigerator may contain a base freezer unit that is located under the refrigerator or a side-by-side freezer and refrigerator combo. Because an advanced refrigerator appliance uses the latest technology, you may wish to learn more about the mechanics associated with keeping food fresh within this type of refrigerator.

A fridge appliance repair technician should be consulted about any problems that are encountered with an advanced refrigeration unit. The devices that are used to purify the air within a unit or reduce the moisture content should be inspected on occasion. Many advanced refrigeration devices contain digital thermostats that are easy to program. Reach out to a technician to learn more.
