If you're having problems with your refrigerator, you may not need an expensive repair. The problem could be small and simple, and a minimum of work or a few refrigerator parts you install yourself could do the job. Let's take a look at some of the most common issues that people have with their refrigerators and how to solve them.

1. The refrigerator is not running, and the light is not working

This problem means power isn't getting to the unit, and may be caused by a plug that's not in the outlet securely, a damaged electrical cord, or an outlet that's not providing power. Blown fuses and tripped circuit breakers are a common cause of problems, but the outlet itself could be damaged, too. Check the voltage if all other systems are functioning. If you're using an extension cord, try removing it to see if the cord is damaged. Sometimes, the only refrigerator parts you need are a new plug or cord.

2. The refrigerator isn't running, but light is functional

This is a little more difficult than a simple lack of power. Check the temperature setting to see if it's been turned off or to zero, and be sure there is a space of at least three inches between the sides and back of the unit and the walls and furniture around it. A one inch gap above the refrigerator is also required for proper air flow.

If these are all correct, you'll next need to clean the condenser coils carefully. If this doesn't help, unplug the refrigerator and wait two hours, then plug the machine back in. If it starts, there's a compressor problem causing overheating. It may also be necessary to test the temperature control, evaporator fan, defrost timer, compressor relay, overload protector and compressor motor to find out what's wrong.

3. The refrigerator is working but the light isn't

In this case, you should try replacing the bulb and testing the switch to make sure both are working.

4. The refrigerator runs, but isn't cold enough

First, check the temperature setting and make sure there's enough space for airflow inside and outside the refrigerator. Look for objects blocking the vents, test temperature control, and clean condenser coils. Door seals or a faulty door switch may also be a problem. Look for functional defrost heaters and timers, as well as testing the evaporator fan. A clogged drain tube or a refrigerant leak may also be the source of your problems.

5. Refrigerator is too cold

This should be a simple fix for most units. First, check the temperature setting. Then, try the temperature control if that doesn't work.

6. The refrigerator makes a lot of noise

If you hear hissing and popping from a frost free unit, this is normal. The defrost heater causes this noise. If other noises occur, make sure the unit is level, then check the drain pan and the fans for the condenser and evaporator. The compressor mounts should also be inspected.

7. The refrigerator won't stop running

This common problem could have a number of causes. If you just adjusted the temperature control, live in a humid area, or recently loaded the unit, the machine may run for over twenty-four hours before becoming entirely cool. If this time has passed or none of those circumstances have occurred, defrost the freezer. Cleaning the condenser coils, checking the door seals and testing the door switch may also be necessary. A new switch or other refrigerator parts can be a real help.

Keep Heat Transfer System Repairs Uneventful

Traditional heat transfer fluids (HTFs) and systems have been around for many decades. While much has been learned and written about the safe operation of these flange systems, less has been shared about the proper approach to making uneventful repairs.

The safe execution of repairs depends upon effective planning to protect against potential hazards. This article focuses on mitigating potential HTF-related hazards that could be encountered when repairing high-temperature organic HTF systems (those normally operating above 500°F). It is not intended to supersede any fluid-specific risk information available from the manufacturer, nor process or equipment-specific risk details associated with individual processes involved.

Every process has unique hazards associated with the chemical(s) being handled. Effective job planning and execution takes into consideration the hazards of both the processes and HTFs involved. The risks associated with HTFs can be divided into three primary areas: fire, human exposure and environmental exposure. The single, best source for fluid safety information is the material safety data sheet (MSDS) provided by the manufacturer.

Fire potential is typically assessed using flash point, fire point and autoignition temperature (AIT) data . Most of the commonly used HTFs operating from 500°F to 750°F, including diphenyl/diphenyl oxide (DP/DPO) eutectic fluid and the others listed in the table, have hydrocarbon chemistries. As such, they are typically classified as Class IIIB combustible liquids capable of igniting under the right conditions (fuel/heat/oxygen).

Depending upon the system design, operating environment, and fluid age and maintenance, some fire properties might become depressed below the values shown, which can increase fire risk. With awareness of these conditions, proper job planning can interrupt the hazard mechanisms and greatly reduce or eliminate the fire risk. A safe approach to fire prevention should include minimizing spark potential, inerting, conducting work while equipment is near ambient temperature, and insuring the area is cleared of hydrocarbon residues before beginning hot work.

Limiting the potential for human exposure to chemicals should be at the forefront of job planning considerations. Specific chemistries of HTFs will help define certain personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements, materials selection for fluid handling, etc. Review of the MSDS and technical literature will aid in the proper selection of PPE to avoid permeation of gloves or protective aprons, and could prevent failure of polymer components and other equipment resulting in a loss of containment.

The most common HTF-related injury is thermal burns. Whenever possible the system should be allowed to cool sufficiently to prevent burns from hot fluids or equipment contact when hands-on work begins. An additional benefit of cooling the fluids is reduced vapor pressure, thereby lowering potential exposure to fluid vapors.

Should non-routine material transfers be required, selection of hose materials, gaskets, containers, and O-rings/seals should all conform to manufacturer guidelines to avoid unexpected leaks, releases and physical contact. Ideally, job plans will incorporate these considerations, plus knowledge from industrial hygiene monitoring, to best determine the right combination of splash, face, eye, thermal burn, and/or respiratory protection required for each situation.

Exposure to the environment can also be safely managed by proper planning. Chemicals should be responsibly handled, but certain fluids might have regulatory restrictions that place stricter emphasis on environmental protection. This information should be provided in the MSDS.

During repairs, the bulk of the fluid should be kept properly isolated within the system designed for its containment, if possible. Any fluids that require removal by pumping, draining, blowing or other means should be transferred using equipment and materials fully compatible with the fluid chemistry. Any doubts about materials compatibility should be first resolved through discussion with a competent person knowledgeable of the fluid.

Additional preventive measures to protect the environment might include temporary dikes/curbs, drain plugs and absorbent media/pigs/socks. For fluids with high crystallizing points (e.g., DP/DPO), ensure that the piping is cleared of standing liquid to avoid possible failures due to expansion effects upon freezing. This can be done by draining low points, blowing lines with inert gas, and carefully opening low point flange, if necessary. Successful management of this component of the job will help prevent unnecessary clean-up work, disposal of fluid and recovery materials, and allow faster completion of the job, thereby minimizing downtime.

is a brass washer more suitable than steel for use as an oil pan drain plug washer?

Brass is a softer metal and is more suitable because it will "mold" and fit the space between the drain bolt and the oil pan better than a steel washer. If you must use something other than brass, use stainless steel as it will not rust as rapidly as plain steel, a tertiary choice would be galvanized steel. In any event if you need to use something other than brass, it should be replace asap with brass.
good luck
