1. Temperature Control Issues
Do you experience spoiling vegetables, milk, and other foods within a very short span, even when you keep them in the fridge? It could happen because your fridge is no longer able to cool properly.
How to fix it: Use a thermometer to verify the temperature—it should stay between 37°F and 40°F.
2. High Electricity Bills
The cost of your electricity continues to rise despite the fact that you have not been using more elsewhere. It occurs as the fridge gets older; it struggles to maintain the cooling temperature, thus it consumes more electricity than usual.
How to fix it: Compare last year’s bills. If they have considerably increased, it may be time to swap out your fridge, as the newer models consume 40 per cent less energy.

3. Unusual Operating Noises
Sometimes you can hear an excessive amount of humming, grinding, clicking or buzzing noise in your refrigerator. It occurs because of worn fan motors, loose internal components or failing compressors.
How to fix it: A low humming sound is okay but loud or abnormal sounds are a sign to take your refrigerator to a professional technician and never ignore these obvious noises because they are indications of major mechanical problems.
4. Moisture and Condensation Problems
You may notice puddles inside your fridge, frost building up everywhere, or wet spots on your kitchen floor.
Why it occurs: This happens because of broken door seals or internal parts that are unable to keep the humidity at the right level.
Fix it: First, test the door seals using a dollar bill. If it opens without resistance, replace the door seals. Pre-existing seals must first be cleaned, but long-standing moisture conditions should be investigated by a professional.

5. Accelerated Food Spoilage
You might observe that food goes bad unusually fast, even while stored in the fridge.For example, fresh lettuce rots out in 2 days, cheese becomes moldy rapidly, and leftovers lose their smell more readily than usual.
Why it occurs: Your fridge is not able to ensure a constant level of temperature and humidity to preserve food.
Fix it: This usually is the initial indication of refrigerator malfunction. Check the temperature settings and clean vents, but in the case of continuous spoilage, replacement might be required.
6. Excessive Heat Generation
The back or sides of your refrigerator generate excessive hotness; it happens because the compressor over strains to keep cool temperature inside your fridge.

7. Appliance Age and Performance Decline
Replacement age: Most refrigerators tend to last between 10 and 15 years before needing a replacement.
Check this: Find a sticker inside your fridge or check your purchase receipt.
Money tip: If your fridge is over 10 years old and showing signs of trouble, replacing it might cost less than fixing it.
