Importance of fridge repair

With our reliable and experienced fridge repair services, you can extend the lifespan of your fridge and ensure that it continues to operate optimally, providing you with peace of mind.

Common Issues with Hitachi Fridges

Not cooling

If your Hitachi fridge is not cooling properly, it could be due to several reasons:

• The door could have some issues, as it may not be closing completely or the gasket is worn out and needs to be replaced.
• Additionally, the evaporator fan motor and the defrost heater may not be functioning correctly.
• Another common culprit is the temperature control thermostat or the door bin hitting the shelf, keeping the door from closing entirely.

By identifying and addressing the root cause, we can prevent your Hitachi fridge from cooling and keeping your food fresh.

Leaking water

One common issue with Hitachi refrigerators is leaking water. This can be caused by a clogged or frozen defrost drain, a damaged door gasket, a cracked drain pan, or a damaged water line. And to fix these problems, we do the following:

1. We use a hairdryer to thaw the defrost drain.
2. Then we inspect and replace damaged gaskets or hoses.
3. After this, we manually empty the drain pan, assess it for cracks, or replace the water line or filter.

So, if you need any help, you can consult our technician for assistance if needed.

Strange noises

Strange noises coming from your Hitachi fridge could be a sign of several issues. Among them are the following:

• The fan blades in the freezer or condenser, damper control assembly, compressor, water inlet valve, and ice maker assembly are all potential culprits.
• Additionally, ticking or scraping sounds could indicate a faulty defrost timer, and a rattling noise from the bottom of the fridge may mean the drain pan needs to be secured.
• Cleaning and inspecting the condenser fan and checking the evaporator fan can also help identify the source of the noise.

In the end, we have to remind you that it’s best to call our professionals for any repairs to ensure they are done safely and correctly.

DIY troubleshooting tips

Cleaning the coils

Cleaning the coils of your Hitachi fridge is an important aspect of maintenance that will ensure efficient and effective performance. Dust and debris can accumulate on the condenser coils, making it difficult for the fridge to release heat into the surrounding air. This can cause the fridge to work harder and result in decreased efficiency and poor cooling performance. Follow these steps to clean the coils:

1. Unplug the fridge or shut off the circuit breaker.
2. Use a coil brush to knock off the dust from the condenser coils.
3. Vacuum the area to pick up the dust.
4. Move the fridge and vacuum the area behind it.
5. Snap the bottom front toe grill back onto the fridge.

Cleaning the coils should be done at least twice a year, but more frequently if you have pets that shed or if the fridge is located in an area with increased dust levels.

Checking the door seal

One aspect of fridge repair is checking the door seal. A malfunctioning seal can prevent the fridge from maintaining safe temperatures and increase your electricity bill.

To check the seal, run your hand along the edges of the closed door. If you feel a gust of cold air, you have found a loose area.

Push some petroleum jelly into the groove underneath the loose rubber and push the seal back into the channel.

You can also test the seal with a piece of paper to see if it needs to be replaced.
