Repair Service Built for Philadelphia-Area Homes
The 19073 ZIP code is Newtown Square, centered on Newtown Township in Delaware County, with edges reaching into neighboring townships. It is a largely suburban area of single-family homes on wooded lots, from mid-century ranches and split-levels to larger two-story colonials built since the 1980s, plus several townhouse and condominium communities. Attached two-car garages are common, and many of them hold an extra refrigerator or chest freezer.

Summer and Winter in the Attached Garage
An attached garage is a convenient spot for the beverage refrigerator or the freezer of bulk food, but it is not climate-controlled. An insulated garage that shares a wall with the house moderates the extremes, while an uninsulated one with a south-facing door can get very hot on a July afternoon and cold on a February night. The appliance feels both.
Heat is the more common problem in Newtown Square garages. A condenser that is dusty, a cabinet pushed tight into a corner, or a door opened often on a hot day all make the compressor run longer. That shows up as a warm fresh-food section, frost on the back wall of the freezer, or a refrigerator that runs without stopping. Leave a few inches around the cabinet, keep the coils clean and check the door gasket by closing it on a dollar bill: if it slides out easily, the seal is weak.
In winter, a standard refrigerator can let its freezer warm because its thermostat senses the fresh-food side, which the cold garage keeps cool. Chest freezers generally handle cold rooms better, but their manuals still list a minimum room temperature. If you buy a new unit for the garage, look for models specifically rated for garage use.
Getting the Garage Ready
Open the garage door or let us know which door to use, and move the car out if the refrigerator is at the back wall. Clear a path and leave space to roll the unit forward. If your community has rules about service vehicles in the driveway, let us know. Have the model number from inside the door or on the back panel.
