Common Fridge Problems We Fix

There are plenty of reasons for why your fridge is having problems, but it’s nothing our technicians hasn’t handled before while repairing fridges for years. Here are some common fridge issues we’ve solved before:

If your fridge isn’t staying cold, the condenser coils might be dirty or the evaporator fan could be failing, that fan helps move cold air through the fridge. A faulty compressor, which is the part that pumps refrigerant through the system, can also stop the cooling altogether.

The ice maker uses a small motor to rotate and release the ice once it’s formed, if that motor fails, it won’t dump ice. It also relies on a fill valve that opens up to let water in; if that’s clogged or broken, no water means no ice.

Most dispensers stop working due to a frozen water line or a faulty inlet valve. The dispenser switch or control board might also be the issue, they send the signal to release water when you press the lever.

A bad evaporator fan motor can screech or buzz as it wears out, that fan is what keeps cold air moving through the fridge. If you hear clicking, it could be the compressor relay trying (and failing) to kick on the compressor, which is what keeps everything cool.

If the freezer is just kind of cold instead of freezing, the evaporator coils might be iced over, they’re supposed to absorb heat and let the cold air circulate. The defrost system, which includes a heater and timer, is meant to melt frost off those coils so frost doesn’t block airflow.

Uneven temps usually come from a worn-out thermostat or a failing damper control, the damper controls how much cold air flows between the freezer and fridge. A bad temperature sensor can also throw the whole system off.

If the freezer is fine but the fridge is warm, it could be a blocked air vent or a stuck damper door. These parts help balance cold air between the two sections.

Leaks often come from a clogged or frozen defrost drain that’s the little channel that lets melted ice drain out. A cracked water line or faulty inlet valve can also cause slow leaks under or behind the fridge.

If your milk is warmer than it should be, the evaporator fan might not be working, vents could be blocked, or the damper’s stuck, stopping cold air from flowing in.

If the door won’t shut, the gasket might be dirty, torn, or warped, that’s the rubber seal that keeps cold air in. It could also be misaligned hinges or items inside the fridge pushing the door open slightly.

Too much frost usually means the defrost heater or thermostat has failed these parts melt ice off the evaporator coils during normal cycles. A bad door seal or frequent door openings can also let in moisture that freezes up fast.

When your fridge is too cold, it could be a broken thermostat not shutting the cooling off when it should. A stuck damper or malfunctioning temperature sensor might also be letting too much cold air in from the freezer.

To prevent smells in your fridge, regularly clean spills and food residues, throw out expired items, and place an open box of baking soda inside to absorb odors. Additionally, ensure proper ventilation and avoid storing strong-smelling foods uncovered.

It’s recommended to clean the condenser coils at least twice a year to maintain optimal performance. Dirty coils can cause the fridge to work harder and may lead to cooling problems.
