Common Refrigeration Problems

Your refrigerator is the heart of your kitchen. It is the one appliance that each person in your household will likely use multiple times each day, so it is no surprise that refrigerator troubles can arise from time to time. Here are some common problems with refrigerators, along with some troubleshooting tips.

Common Refrigeration Problems

Why Is The Fridge Not Cold But The Freezer Is?

To help you understand why your fridge is not cooling, here are some troubleshooting tips that may help you identify the source of the problem:

  • Make sure the air vents are not blocked and condenser coils are cleaned.
  • Ensure the refrigerator is not overfilled.
  • Check if your room temperature is hotter than normal.
  • Opening the door often can warm the refrigerator.
  • Check if the refrigerator is in “showroom” or “demo” mode.
  • It is important that your refrigerator is not positioned next to a heat source or in a cold garage. This may result in the refrigerator not operating at peak performance.
  • Check if the power recently went out.

If you need further assistance with your fridge not cooling, our Certified Technicians can help.

Why is My Fridge Leaking?

If you’re noticing your fridge leaking water, there may be several reasons why. Here are some troubleshooting steps that may help you determine the source of the leak:

  • Check to ensure that the water filter is correctly installed and not damaged.
  • Check to confirm that the water supply line is connected and not cracked or damaged.
  • Verify that the tubing is firmly inserted into all fittings/connections (back of fridge).

  • Check if the ice dispenser chute is clogged and ice has clumped together.
  • Verify that the ice bin is installed correctly.
  • Check if the “Control Lock” or “Dispenser Lock” is on.
  • Ensure that the refrigerator doors are securely closed.

Why Does Food Freeze in the Refrigerator?

If you notice that your refrigerator is freezing food, here are some steps that may help you identify the source of the problem:

  1. Temperature Settings

If your food is freezing, then it is possible that your fridge’s temperature setting is set too low. This is a common problem that can lead to your refrigerator freezing food. Ensure temperature settings are at optimal levels in accordance with the user and care guide.

  1. Food Storage

A fully stocked fridge does a better job at absorbing cold air. If it’s empty, it can cause items to freeze. It is important to be mindful about how and where food is stored in your fridge. Ensure that food is not blocking your air vents.

  1. Leaky Door Seals

Your refrigerator’s seals keep cold air in. When they leak, your fridge has to work harder to maintain a consistent temperature. As a result, this can lead to frozen food.

If your food continues to freeze in the refrigerator, our Certified Technicians can help.
