Fridge Not Cooling

A refrigerator that doesn't cool may be caused by several factors, such as a lack of ventilation, incorrect installation, defective or unclean gasket seals, disorganized food storage, wrong appliance placement, or broken internal components. Food rotting rapidly, sometimes resulting in odors, excessive condensation on food and beverage packaging, and tepid or room temperature interior are all symptoms that your refrigerator is not keeping its optimum temperature.

Temperature Controls That were Improperly Adjusted

The recommended temperature range for a refrigerator is between 32- and 40 degrees Fahrenheit. If the settings are adjusted incorrectly, your refrigerator may not be producing cold air. When the temperature controls are accidentally brushed by an object or your hand, the settings are often reset. If this is the reason why your refrigerator isn't working properly, adjust the thermostat so that it's set to the temperature you want it to be, making sure to check the settings for both the freezer and the refrigerator as they have their own individual systems.

Your Refrigerator Has a Leaky Pipe

The plumbing in a fridge is a bit more involved. The problems with the pipes need to be fixed immediately. The accumulation of ice is a common cause of clogged drain lines. The kitchen floor may have been damaged because the drain pan was destroyed and water leaked through. There might be too much moisture buildup inside your fridge because the door doesn't close tightly enough.

Location for Setup

The location of your refrigerator's installation might impact its ability to keep food cold. Indoor refrigerators should only be set up in homes where the temperatures seldom fluctuate by more than a few degrees. Because garages don't have the same climate control as homes, an indoor refrigerator installed there may not be able to maintain an adequate temperature. Then, make sure your fridge is set up in a spot that gives it enough room to breathe by checking the clearance around the sides and back of the appliance. Standard clearances for refrigerators are 1 inch in the rear and 1/2 inch on each side. There may be a need to reposition your fridge if it lacks the necessary clearances. Maintaining optimal refrigerator performance requires a level installation. The refrigerator may require shims to be leveled if it is not sitting on a flat surface.

Contaminated Condenser Coils

If dust, pet fur, grease, or spiderwebs become stuck in the condenser coils of your fridge, the cooling system will not work correctly. We may need to clean the condenser coils on your refrigerator if it isn't producing cold air. We have been in the industry so long and know each makes and model and the precautions on specific directions on cleaning the condenser coils since they all differ. Another common cause is blocked ventilation. If your refrigerator isn't chilling, we check for obstructions in the air vents. Cool air can't enter the appliance if the vents are blocked. Make sure nothing is blocking the vents on the inside of your fridge and freezer.
