You need your refrigerator to keep food cold and fresh, but buying a new unit is expensive. How can you tell when it time to replace it? Consider an upgrade if you see these telltale signs of trouble.
1. Your food is going bad
Are you having to deal with a lot of sour milk or wilted lettuce? If food spoils before the expiration date or beverages take a long time to get cold, it could be a sign that your older unit has subpar power. Check the temperature setting on your unit to make sure it's cold enough. If that looks okay, consider an upgrade.
