You can’t repair a thermostat.įridge not cooling is not always a big problem. If it doesn’t work, you have to change it. Remove the wiring, clean it and put it again. Open the unit inside the refrigerator and take the thermostat out. You might be setting a low temperature but the temperature inside is not as per your settings. It is located behind the knob you use to set the temperature. It’s like the brain tells the refrigerator what to do. The thermostat is the device that controls the temperature inside the refrigerator. Even the slightest leak can give rise to both fridge and freezer problems, with no cooling issues. It is mostly found in the panel at the top.ĭamage in housing causes a loss of cool air. The Air Damper is housed inside a plastic box, sealed well to prevent loss of cold air. You need to ensure that the system is unplugged and you have given it time to slow down.Īir Damper is the device that decides how much cold air enters the fridge’s lower portion from the freezer. It’s a small white or black switch-like device located in the wiring of the system. It can be also due to a fluctuating voltage supply. It might be due to overload or due to the age of the compressor, which requires more current to start. If you hear periodical clicking coming from the compressor side, it most likely Start Relay failed and trying to start the compressor, but unable to. Problem: Compressor relay switches on and off The compressor looks like a tank and is located behind the refrigerator at the bottom. Compressor is defective: The compressor needs to be replaced. The compressor is making a loud knocking or grinding noise. This is the part that makes the sound you hear from behind the fridge. Compressor or inside of water cooler is hot. Let’s see where the parts are located and how we can fix the problems If both Freezer and Fridge are not cooling, the problem could be in any of the parts. It’s a simplified version of how your refrigerator works. The refrigerant converts into vapor and goes back to the compressor. The refrigerant absorbs the heat inside while flowing through the evaporator coils. It enters the evaporator coils inside the freezer and fridge. The cool liquid flows through the expansion valve. The hot gas cools down in the condenser coil and becomes liquid. The compressor compresses the refrigerant gas. These are the parts that make your refrigerator work- Compressor, Condenser coils, Evaporator coils, Air Damper, Refrigerant or the Thermostat If that isn’t the problem it could one of the following parts. Why is the fridge not cooling? Sometimes, the problem could be as simple as not plugging the socket or, food packets blocking airflow. If your fridge is not cooling though the light is on, here is what you should do. If the compressor is warm then it's likely the tech was correct that the unit has leaked refrigerant, in this case you would need a qualified tech to track down the leak and repair it, He would also need to recharge the refrigerant, It also may be possible the compressor was damaged.
