How to tell if your fridge needs replacing

Is It Time to Replace Your Fridge? Here’s How to Know.

Let’s face it, fridges don’t last forever. But how do you know when it’s time to say goodbye to your trusty old fridge and upgrade to something newer and more efficient? Here are some signs it might be time for a replacement:

Not Keeping Things Cool.

If your fridge isn’t keeping food cold or has inconsistent temperatures and thus you find yourself having to adjust temperature settings to keep food from going off and prevent mould or mildew growth, it’s definitely time to replace it. You can try cleaning the condenser coils and checking the door seal, but if the issue persists, it’s probably a sign that the fridge is losing its cooling power.

Excessive Noise.

If your fridge is making louder than usual noises or strange new noises (like buzzing, humming, or rattling), it could be a sign that something’s wrong with the motor or compressor. While some noise is normal, excessive noise can mean your fridge is nearing the end of its life.

Frequent Repairs.

If you find yourself calling the repairman more often than you’d like, it might be more cost-effective to replace the fridge rather than keep repairing it. Consider whether the cost of repairs is worth it compared to investing in a new fridge.

High Energy Bills.

As fridges get older, they can become less energy-efficient so, if your electric bill has been creeping up, your fridge could be the culprit. Newer models are much more energy-efficient and can help you save money in the long run.
