Very cool, & you are welcome. We appreciate you sharing this. Looking forward to hearing back from you as the temperatures continue to return to the proper settings. Welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. 😎👍
Simple and easy solution for the majority home residents. Do not over stuff your freezer. Once a year blow pressure air (use wet and dry vacume, plug hose in exhaust port with narrow nose attachment) on the radiator Colling fins to blowout the dust and lints. Few simple steps will extend your refrigerator life and will stay trouble free.
This was helpful advice. I'm going to try unplugging my GE upright freezer for five minutes and then plug it back in and see if that can reset and help it begin cooling properly again.
Dude, thanks for this. Some guy gave us his old fridge to use as a garage beer fridge. It stopped cooling after 2 days. Never occured to me to flip the breaker! Worked!

Hey thanks for making video, my freezer and fridge not cold. It's only 3 years old. I have a double door top freezer on the bottom. To reset your mother board you just flicked the light switch 3 times in the freezer. Do you know if that's for all model's or will that be the same for my model thank you
What did u get back up and running? The fans or compressor? Mine doesn't have a switch like yours but a magned in the freezer that tells if the freezer is open or closed. My freezer isnt working and at 55f while my fridge part is working great at 40f. Any ideas? Ive tried this unplug and plug for 5 mins and freezer still not working. Also, nothing happens when i put power freeze either.
This was a great step in troubleshooting our fridge and freezer. Unfortunately, it didn't fix it, but I hope a future fridge will get fixed by this. :)
Thanks for watching. The reset procedure can be performed using the switch that turns off the light when door is closing and compressing switch. Do you have more than one?
@@rasputin1917 Thanks for watching, this is a reset procedure that allows the control board to reboot and re-communicate with additional parts to ensure refrigerator and freezer operate normally and as designed. 👍🧰
My GE will not start cooling again for 3-4 days after power outage. Lost all my food twice this year. Light comes on immediately after power is restored, but will not cool. Right now again I just lost all the food in both freezer and fridge, and light is on, but inside is room temp. Any idea why this would happen?
DEar Sir, good morning ! I have installed a new mother board in a WHIRLPOOL WRF555SDZ, all the functions seem to be working fine, even the compressor is running, but it is not cooling after more than 10 hours.

Hello. I have a "World Elite" freezer. The red lighter at the bottom of the freezer's exterior has been flickering since yesterday. Also the inner light at the ceiling of the freezer is dim. Normally, the red light is always ON but never flickers. Also, normally, the inner light is always bright. Now the issue is, the red light flickering, dim inner light and it's not freezing. My freezer is only 4 months old. The brand is WORLD ELITE. What do I do to get it back to freeze?
@@joydaniels6474 Thanks for watching, any update? Have you performed this reset procedure? If so, you can perform it a second and third time…as your unit may require it to fully reconfigure.

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders , as it turned out my compressor quit. The repairman had to replace it, on this 2 yr old LG fridge. I'm not happy at all.

Thanks for watching & we appreciate you sharing this. Any update? Most common cause is lack of airflow & ventilation.

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders New fridge. It's ruined my hardwood floors twice. Just replaced the water pump in the back that was a slow drip into the basement, found that one by chance! Then, we came home from being gone for 12 days and the water dispenser must've shorted out and ruined/cupped a 15' section of flooring in front of the fridge. I've replaced two freezer fans on this fridge already. I'm done!
I have an LG Moffatt MRFW1627W-V and I can't adjust my temp dial and have had frost issues in my freezer since prior to the issues with the temp control arising but i don't know if a condensation issue on the ceiling in the fridge also recently preceded the issue with the temp dial or as as result. How would I fix the temp dial if it is even repairable?
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. If this reset procedure is not working, let’s direct our attention to the temperature control thermostat. We have to check to see if the temperature control thermostat is working. To do this, you want to first place your control dial to the lowest or coldest setting. Next, slowly rotate the dial to the highest or warmest setting. During this rotation, you should hear a clicking sound. The clicking sound is our clear indication that your thermostat is still good and in proper working configuration. If you do not hear it click, the thermostat will need to be replaced. Keep us posted on your project.
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders it’s an older model fridge that doesn’t have digital controls, ice makers, or any of those other electronic bells and whistles.
@@massomouse1556 Oh no...🤔...that’s not good. Has it always been jammed or have you been able to move temperature wheel back-and-forth recently & it got stuck? Those wheels can get very stubborn over the years, especially when staying stationary in the same position for over a decade.

My fridge stopped cooling after some guys were working on my solar panels. They shut the power off for couple of minutes then when it came back on my fridge stopped cooling. Do I turn the circuit off while the fridge is plugged or should I unplug it and then turn the circuit off? Really hoping this works
Good morning, just poured a cup of coffee and am sitting down to answer any and all questions for the DIY community.

Will this work for older Whirlpool refrigerators/freezers too? Ours was made on 06 -07.
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. It will, what’s your update?
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders After troubleshooting I had a bad start relay. Spent $40 to replace it and now the fridge works perfectly again.
@@rwieber79
Awesome, that’s a pretty friendly price to get your unit back up and running. We appreciate you sharing this.
Enjoy your upcoming weekend Robert.
I can't find that switch in my Whirlpool freezer. Will the one in the fridge do the same thing?
Thanks for watching, your model may only have the switch inside refrigerator acting as a single stage/point contact.
Have you performed this reset procedure with refrigerator switch?

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Not a fix for me. I think my compressor is failing on my 7 yr old, WHIRLPOOL gold fridge. So angry. Shame on you, WHIRLPOOL. 🤬
@@karenb6791notakaren
Bummer indeed…7 years is too short of a time to live. Will you be replacing compressor or purchasing a new refrigerator?
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders New fridge. It's ruined my hardwood floors twice. Just replaced the water pump in the back that was a slow drip into the basement, found that one by chance! Then, we came home from being gone for 12 days and the water dispenser must've shorted out and ruined/cupped a 15' section of flooring in front of the fridge. I've replaced two freezer fans on this fridge already. I'm done!
@@karenb6791notakaren
Not good at all…😬
You’re making the right decision, time for a new refrigerator. 😎👍

Wow very helpful sir I will keep this in Mind thank you.
Good morning, welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Keep us posted on your project, thanks for watching Kevin.

I have an LG Moffatt MRFW1627W-V and I can't adjust my temp dial and have had frost issues in my freezer since prior to the issues with the temp control arising but i don't know if a condensation issue on the ceiling in the fridge also recently preceded the issue with the temp dial or as as result. How would I fix the temp dial if it is even repairable?
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. If this reset procedure is not working, let’s direct our attention to the temperature control thermostat.
We have to check to see if the temperature control thermostat is working. To do this, you want to first place your control dial to the lowest or coldest setting.
Next, slowly rotate the dial to the highest or warmest setting. During this rotation, you should hear a clicking sound. The clicking sound is our clear indication that your thermostat is still good and in proper working configuration.
If you do not hear it click, the thermostat will need to be replaced. Keep us posted on your project.
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders it’s an older model fridge that doesn’t have digital controls, ice makers, or any of those other electronic bells and whistles.
@@massomouse1556
Thanks for the reply, in this case you will rotate the small plastic temperature wheel. 😎👍
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders I can't, it's jammed.
@@massomouse1556
Oh no...🤔...that’s not good. Has it always been jammed or have you been able to move temperature wheel back-and-forth recently & it got stuck?
Those wheels can get very stubborn over the years, especially when staying stationary in the same position for over a decade.
That worked...thanks!
You are welcome. 😁👍🧰
Definitely worth a try. Thx!
You are very welcome, we are always here to help. Hope all is well.

How long do you leave it off for
Unplugged I mean

5 minutes unplugged will do it. Keep us posted.

The older refrigerators would cool down fast. The new ones take forever.

If my button broke
Is there a way to fix that button ?
Thanks for watching & there is indeed. We don’t have a video on that at the moment.
My whirlpool freezer doesn’t have that button to push
Thanks for watching, any update? In that case, you will need to unplug refrigerator and leave unplugged for a minimum of 5 minutes to perform reset.
Some refrigerators take roughly 30 minutes being unplugged to perform a full system reset. If you have the time, we recommend unplugging for 30 minutes.
You never explain why you rapidly push the button 3 times? 🙄
@@rikmuao4699
Thanks for watching, we do. This is a reset procedure from our owners manual. We follow the exact reset guidelines set forth by the manufacturer.
It resets the computer and compressor safety while power is still applied. 🧰
Whoa, too much 'outer space' stuff here for me. I'm still using the four-on-the-floor model.
You dont have enough room above or around your fridge for air movement, IMHO
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.

The LG refrigerator I have doesn't show the actual temperature. It only shows the target temperature.
Thanks for sharing, did the reset fix this issue?
Omg! Thanks so much. It’s below freezing after just an hour or so😀. Whoops. It went down to 17 degrees. Hours later back up to over freezing. Bummer. Any thoughts?
Awesome, you are very welcome Diane. Hopefully many stress free days ahead for you, thanks for watching.

Probably an LG.
Will this work on a Frigidaire?

Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. In your case, you will need to unplug refrigerator for a minimum of 30 seconds to perform a full reset.
😎👍
Unplugging it and plugging it back in worked for us. Thanks
Didn't work on my LG-LMXS27626S, I think she's dead Jim! This fridge has been a nightmare.
Thanks for watching, that’s a bummer. Maybe a faulty compressor...
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders LG, always a faulty linear compressor or bad PC board. They fail in months, not years or decades
@@chenz3007
Thanks for sharing.
Ohhh...our power kept being ugly over and over and over😮!!!! And I keep having to try to reset and defrost. It's crazy!!
Thanks for watching, that’s no fun. Electrical outages and surges when power is restored can cause havoc on electronics, including refrigerators. Hopefully another reset or two will help fully reset and reconfigure unit.
My circuit breaker is behind my fridge of all places.
Thanks for watching, that’s odd...🤔
How did the reset go?
I went thru 3 fridges over the last 3 years. Thought I just had bought shitty fridges and never thought about it could be the breakers..mind blown and sad I wasted so much time and money replacing a perfectly good fridge! 3 times!
