Fix Refrigerator Not Cool

When a refrigerator does not keep your milk cold or your ice cream frozen, there are some potential reasons. Try some quick remedies before you try repairs that are more complicated if your refrigerator is not cooling and if your freezer is not working. You should make sure that your refrigerator is connected to power. When you open the refrigerator door, the light should be on. Then you should check the thermostat because you may have accidentally turned it off. If your thermostat is defective, it is best to replace it with a new one. The ventilation openings of your refrigerator should not be covered by anything, neither by a wall nor by any other objects, the ventilation should circulate cold air so that the refrigerator is cooled. In addition, the refrigerator coils should be kept clean as they aid in cooling. The condenser fan must also be clean and free to perform its function. If you clean the fan and it still does not work, you should replace it. When the thermostat calls for further ventilation, the refrigerator condenser fan and compressor, mounted above the ground on the rear of most refrigerators, come on. It may mean that the condenser fan is jammed or wearing out or that the relay or compressor is bad if you don't hear the compressor running after the door has been left open for a while. All these steps will help you find out why your refrigerator is not cool and how to fix this problem.
