Why isn't my refrigerator cooling properly?

Answer 1

is it plugged in? check the dial within the fridge to unsure it is not set to low. if it is all the way turned up and it is still not cold you may need a freon recharge. Call your local appliance shop.

Quite possibly the compressor is not operating correctly. possibly the condenser is verry dirty or the condenser fan motor is not running. The fridge doors may not be closing tightly or the evaporator fan motor may not be running when the doors are closed.

Answer 2

Is it plugged in and on?

If it is test the plug by plugging in a lamp to the socket to ensure the socket is working.

If the socket light the lamp then the refrigerator has a fault.....(probably the compressor)

First, you should allow proper time for your refrigerator to cool, anywhere from 12-24 hours. Do you have food or items in your refrigerator? If you do not want to fill it with perishable food, fill some jugs with water and place them in there. Another thing to check it to make sure the outlet you have it plugged into can handle the appliance.

Usually found on the top back panel, the damper is a flap that controls the amount of cold air from the freezer that enters the refrigerator. If you search our site by model, you will get a drawing of your model that will show you where your damper is located. The flow of the damper is controlled by a thermostat based off of the temperature of the refrigerator. If the damper is not opening, it could be the reason why no cold air is entering the refrigerator section. To check to see if the cold air is coming from the damper, simply place your hand over the damper vent. If you do not feel cold air coming through the vent, the damper may be stuck in the closed position. Remove the vent and manually open the damper, or replace it if that does not seem to work.

There are a variety of things that may cause that. Most common is the de-frost timer, which is a small black box usually under the front grill. It's generally black and has a wireloom with 3-5 wires attached to it with a small plug. Other things may be the actual defrost heater or the circulation fan in the freezer compartment or the main switch. These are complicated things to deal with AND you need a good multimeter. -Possibly best to call a good handyman -or YouTube it and see if any good movies on it come up.

Typically it is either the compressor has gone bad or there is a coolant leak or it has low/no refrigerant
