Miramar Problems That Need a Technician

• The fridge clicks every few minutes and stays warm. The start relay, the overload or the compressor itself.
• A freezer stood in water after a heavy rain. Leave it unplugged until it has been checked.
• Black spots in the folds of the door seal. Mildew from humid air; a stiff seal may also leak cold.
• The fridge light stays on with the door shut. A stuck door switch, which on many models also stops the fan.
• The oven heats, then quits halfway through a bake. A failing sensor, a thermal fuse or the control board.
• One cooktop burner clicks but won't catch. A wet or cracked igniter, or a burner cap sitting crooked.
• Water keeps dripping from the dispenser long after you let go. Often the water inlet valve.

A Fridge That Clicks but Won't Cool

You hear a click from behind the refrigerator, maybe a short hum, then silence. A few minutes later it happens again, and the inside keeps getting warmer. That pattern points to a compressor that is trying to start and can't.

Here is what is going on. A small start relay and an overload protector sit on the side of the compressor. The relay helps the motor get going; the overload cuts power when the compressor draws too much current or runs too hot. When the relay wears out or the compressor struggles, the overload trips over and over, and every trip makes that click.

What you can do right now:

• Look at the condenser coil at the back or underneath. A thick blanket of dust makes the compressor run hot; unplug the fridge before you vacuum it.
• Plug it straight into a wall outlet. An extension cord or a loose receptacle can starve the compressor of voltage.
• Move the food. A cooler with ice holds milk, meat and leftovers while you wait, and a thermometer tells you how warm the fridge has become.
• Don't keep unplugging it to force a restart. The overload is protecting the motor.

The technician tests the relay, the overload and the compressor windings and tells you which one failed. A relay or an overload is a small part. A failed compressor is sealed-system work, done by an EPA 608 certified technician, and you hear the options before anything is decided.

When a Freezer or Fridge Stood in Floodwater

Summer downpours and tropical storms can push water into garages and ground-floor rooms. A freezer or refrigerator that stood in that water isn't safe to plug back in, even after it looks dry.

• Keep it unplugged, and don't touch the cord or the outlet while you stand on a wet floor.
• Switch off that circuit at the breaker, but only if you can reach the panel from a dry spot.
• Throw out food that floodwater touched. USDA advises discarding it unless it's in a fully waterproof container, such as an undamaged, commercially sealed metal can.
• Note how high the water rose on the cabinet, or take a photo for the technician.

Floodwater can reach the compressor, the fan motors, the wiring and the control board, and it soaks the insulation inside the cabinet walls. A technician can test the electrical parts and tell you plainly whether the unit can be made safe again. When the insulation is soaked through, replacing the appliance is sometimes the safer choice, and you'll hear that from us directly.

Mildew in the Door Seal

Miramar summers are humid, and the soft folds of a refrigerator door gasket hold moisture and crumbs. Black spots or a musty smell around the door usually mean mildew has settled into those folds.

• Wash the gasket with warm water and a little mild dish soap, using a soft brush to reach into the folds, then dry it thoroughly.
• Skip harsh cleaners and solvents. They can stiffen or crack the rubber.
• Try the paper test. Close the door on a sheet of paper or a dollar bill at several points around the frame; if it slides out with no drag, the seal isn't gripping there.
• Check the corners for tears, and look for sections that stay flattened.

A gasket that has hardened, torn or lost its shape lets warm, wet air into the cabinet. The result is frost in the freezer, sweat on the door frame and a compressor that runs longer than it should. Most refrigerator gaskets can be replaced; the technician fits a genuine or OEM-approved seal made for your model and checks that the door closes evenly all the way around.
