Why Is My Refrigerator Not Cooling Properly?
By AT Appliance Services Repair
A refrigerator that isn’t cooling properly can lead to spoiled food and frustration. If your fridge isn’t as cold as it should be, here are some common causes and solutions.
1. Dirty Condenser Coils
The condenser coils release heat from the fridge, but if they’re covered in dust and debris, they can’t do their job efficiently. Clean the coils (usually located at the back or bottom) with a vacuum or coil brush every six months.
2. Faulty Evaporator Fan
The evaporator fan circulates cold air throughout the fridge. If it’s not running, your fridge won’t cool evenly. Listen for a humming sound—if it’s silent or making a loud noise, it may need replacement.
3. Blocked Air Vents
Placing food too close to the air vents can restrict airflow, leading to warm spots. Make sure vents aren’t blocked and allow space for air to circulate.
4. Malfunctioning Thermostat
A defective thermostat may fail to regulate the fridge’s temperature. Try adjusting it—if there’s no response, a replacement may be needed.
5. Broken Start Relay
The start relay helps power the compressor, which cools the fridge. If it’s faulty, the compressor won’t run efficiently. A technician can test and replace it if necessary.
6. Defective Compressor
The compressor is the heart of your fridge’s cooling system. If it’s failing, the fridge won’t cool properly. Unusual noises or excessive heat at the back of the unit may indicate compressor issues.
