Freezer Repair Tips Provided by AM PM Los Angeles Appliance Repair

    SHERMAN OAKS, CA, September 07, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- With proper care, freezers should work well for quite some time. But since it is a unit that gets a good deal of use and is on all the time, eventually repairs will be needed. Tips on freezer repairs and keeping freezers working properly are provided by AM PM Los Angeles Appliance Repair. The better care an appliance receives, the more efficiently it will operate.

1. Do not put a freezer near a heat source. It will counteract the efficiency of the refrigerator and freezer. Keep it in an area where it is not by the oven or any other major appliance that generates a considerable amount of heat.

2. Make certain that the freezer door shuts securely. If the seal is not tight, air will escape and the freezer will not work properly, giving food a chance to spoil. The way to check for a tight seal is by shutting the door on a piece of paper. If the paper can be pulled out very easily, the seal is not tight enough and air will escape.

3. Do not keep the freezer door open for any length of time. Food cannot be kept frozen if the door is left open, and the freezer will have to work harder to keep food cold. This is wasting not only cold air, but energy as well.

4. Keep the temperature of the freezer at the appropriate level. If it is too low, food will not freeze properly. And if the temperature is too high, freezer burn will occur to the food. This is also a waste of energy.

5. Keep the inside of the freezer unit clean. If there is any spillage, clean it up promptly, before it has the chance to freeze and leave a mess.

6. When putting a refrigerator and freezer in the kitchen, allow for some room between the appliance and the wall, so that air will be able to circulate behind the appliance.

7. If the freezer unit does not defrost automatically, be certain to defrost it periodically to keep the freezer working properly without having to deal with a buildup of ice.
