![Refrigerator Not Cooling - How to Fix - What to Check [2020]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ocOW2GYxdTE/mqdefault.jpg)
My 20yr old fridge in my garage still works fine. Bought a new Kenmore elite for the kitchen -- trash within 2yrs
Same. My old Kenmore lasted over 30 years, new LG only 4 months.
My Samsung refrigerator by far the Worst!!
Mine was just over 3 years old 2 weeks past the 3 year warranty I purchased to be exact. Total BS
p
Truth
Today's consumer appliances are garbage
This video changed my life. I was unemployed, unhealthy, and alone. Then I watched this video and my life was transformed forever. Now I'm the CEO of a successful company, I have a six pack, I'm happily married, and have two healthy sons. Thank you Boulevard Home for the amazing video!!!
😂 lol
😂
I am stressed out cause my fridge is not working,that's why am here,but this comment took me out 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bro WTF 😂
😂😂😂
It was a job in itself to clear my apt so my frig had room to be pulled out. But pull it out I did, and--dustpan & brush in hand--I pulled its plug. Then I got to cleaning the dust bunnies off the floor, as well as the dust off the frig, its cords, the walls, and ran a wet cloth on the floor. Man did it pick up dirt! Fortunately there were no dead mice. OK so now that my 5 minutes had passed, I plugged it back in. And, voila! The machine went to town working again. Whoo hoo! Thanks for repair 'splaining BlvdHome!
Yup. It doesn't matter how old this video is, but I just recovered my 2018 Kenmore side by side. Arrived home and lost everything all my food. Called the repair companies and no one wants to come out to the white mountains in NH. I thought I had to buy a new fridge. Figured the previous owners installed the fridge over a hydro toe kick and heat is the enemy to the control panels.
I found this video very easy to follow.
Very clear.
I will try these things
Hi Thank you for the information in the video. My Maytag was not cooling in the refrigerator and the freezer sections. I followed your recommendations. I unplugged the refrigerator for 5 minutes and I think that resetting the computer board may have been enough for a positive response as the sound from the fans running could be heard. Had to listen closely as they are quiet but before the reset there was absolute silence. I will be giving time for the cooling process to take hold. Just in case, I have a call into the appliance repair service. Selling house and the appliances have to be in working order so no time to waste.
I will try all that you said. Hopefully its just a reboot thank you. Very informational for me
Thank you for sharing that info. Much appreciate.
Very helpful. To the point without amateur fluff. TY
Great info.!! I’m glad that now I can check the basics myself before calling the tech.. thanks a lot ! 👍
VERY INFORMATIVE AND PROFESSIONAL .
Thank you so much sir for your kind information and suggestions about refrigerator
YESSS! Thank u. All I did was unplug it. It works now
Very helpful and easy to understand video.
Thankyou for the instructions brother. I cleaned the back, under and all vents. switch on and fridge started. God bless you.
So glad to hear that, thanks for sharing!
thanks for your help , i really needed it !!!!!!
Very informative thank you.
Thanks a lot for your help and details
Very clear explained
Very helpful, thank you!
Listen to you I learn alot about my fridge now I know exactly what to do thank for your up date
But so you really need this background music?
Thank you I know where to start and go from there. 👏☺️
Thanks so much for your help
Thanks for the information! 😁
very informative!!! thank you!!!
Good video! Like your phrase reboot the refrigerator. I got an error code and it seemed to be warmer than normal. I rebooted (unplugged and plugged back in) and all was well. Good tips.
Thank you for the video, very help full, just a question how to identify if the evaporator van or the evaporator fan motor need replacement ?
My recent experience was that the Samsung unit I have went into demo mode for some reason. I've never touched the panel so I was glad to find a video that showed exactly what needed to be done to take it out of demo mode. Working again! I'm glad I had a big chest freezer to dump my meats to before they hit critical temps.
Great information thank you 👍👍
Se. Good information,, thank you, God bless you and you family 🙏🏽🤝👍🏽
Thanks for the information
very concise and professional
Very helpful thank you!
Appreciate this. My midea refrigerator has ice building up in the inside back of the refrigerator. Inside the vents. This is causing the refrigerator to get warm. I am having difficulty getting a repair person to come out as I am told they won’t service midea. Hoping for a suggestion
Very informative 🎉
Thank you very much you helped diagnose my fridge be able to convince my landlod that I knew what I was talking about. He sent a fridge repair person who found a bigger problem and fixed it. Thank you
We're so glad we could help! Thanks for watching!
What was the bigger issue??
Thank you for sharing
Good review. Made a check list and will go through each step. Hopefully won't need repair service.
Thank you 😊
Thank you ❤
Try this to get the freezer working again. I have an LG Top-Bottom Fridge that was having similar trouble. Compressor and exterior fan were working fine but the freezer was not cooling. I removed the front interior trim of the freezer and saw that the evaporator fan was not working. I carefully unscrewed it from the housing frame behind the trim and checked the resistance and continuity on the wire connector which were excellent. Now I've seen repairmen who would just tell you to replace the fan but at that time of day that was not an option. Having done this before with a standing fan, I realised that all this fan wanted was a cleaning and lubricating of the magnets and impeller respectively. Eventually over time with these two there is a build up of dirt, and rust in some cases, which must be cleaned and so here is where WD 40 is your best friend. I used some of this on a paper napkin to wipe the two surfaces after which I used some treadmill silicone oil, you can use something similar, on the curved surface of the impeller as well as the shaft and end joint housing. I reinstalled the evap fan and plugged it in. Not only did it spin, but it spun faster than before. Also, make sure you clean the plastic fan blade which should just pop off the impeller shaft. I placed mine under the faucet and used some dishwashing soap. Hope this tip helps someone to save some time and money. 😀
your fan was stacked? when you moved it with hand it was hard to turn the fan? because mine seem to turn by hand normally.. the refridge working fine. the motor back sound is ok the back fan working. but at the Freezer i dont hear or feel any air and it can only reach down to 19 celcius... so i think it might be the internal fan not working well because of what you said or the motherboard it turned bad and some component or all need to be replaced..
For me my freezer fan was burnt out. There was a little poof of soot above it.
Great video thankyou
Do black plastic / nylon bags pull more energy when in the fridge ?
Thank you so much
Great help!
Very informative thanks will do the steps
Glad that we could help, good luck with the steps!
Thanks a lot for the information, it helps a lot
Glad to hear that, thanks for watching!
Thank you so much very informative
My freezer door wasn't shut all the way overnight. I lost everything. But now when it gets cold the frost inside blocks all the vents. Then the fridge wasn't getting cold either. If I shut the whole thing down and clean inside and out before turning it back on, do you think that'll work?
How long can you estimate after replacing a control board, the refrigerator to cool down, so i can put my food back in and get on with life? Please let me know.
Old is gold, while new fridge or any appliances with too many functions are garbage. I have 20 year fridge in my garage working fine in harsh conditions, meanwhile a 4 years fridge with all the bells and whistles is struggling to keep it cool. But great video that k you.
Ur video is interesting I have a inverter frigadare its not freezing what should I do about it
thanks i have at least so thing to check
Very informative
Excellent video 😆🙌🏼💯thank you
Very useful video, thanks
Glad to hear that, thanks for watching!
My sister said our fridge made three huge pop sounds and there was a burnt smell afterwards. What do you think happened?? We're going to call around tomorrow.
Kinda upset that unplugging for 5min and replugging could’ve saved the food in my fridge 😭 but happy I found this video so I don’t have to replace my food AND the refrigerator! Thanks for the info!
they dont make it like my childhood my moms & grandparents used to have one for 20 years , all these days dont matter is f*n American made or not breaks down after few years need to replace this & that or paying services chargers , these days all about make one quick & sells it quick they dont give a F** about quality anymore..is f**ked up corrupted world , specially in U.S these days. .even American made Products is sux & breaks down soon enough
Hi, I have a Maytag that the freezer is working fine but the upper section is not cooling . Any suggestions? Thank you!
Thank you
Thanks 👍
What about the compressor relay? That would be something to definitely check.
Does the fridge not work without pressurized water from the water line?
I have a Whirlpool refrigerator, french door/deli drawer and bottom freezer. My vegetable drawer is freezing my vegetables. I had the temperature set at 38 and now I moved it to 36 and the drawers I moved the dial from the center to the left to low. My freezer is at 0 and its working fine. What suggestion can you give me?.
I have a Gd5yhaxnl00 year 04, now and in the future, how do I tell if my refrigerator has a computer? Thank for your video.
With my freezer on a Kenmore side by side only getting down to 15F so it is hard to make ice, my repairman came in looked at the coils said they were clean. Asked how old it was and said I need a new compressor. Is more analysis needed than that? Can it be something solvable for less than $1000?
Please let me know the temperature in freeze is showing 3 degrees instead of 4 degree, how to manage?
freezer side cools, fridge does not. I don't think the fan spins. Is there a video you'd recommend for fixing that?
I have a side by side Frigidaire not cooling at its peak
I crams the condenser and fan located in back
I noticed the freezer walls in the back is iced could it be the condenser fan that is froze or the heater not working ? I’m getting ready to remove the panes inside to take a look . What should I be looking for ?? btw no experience in refrigeration 😳
Thank u Sir such a great teacher ❤
Thank you, glad it was helpful!
But so you really need this background music?@@BoulevardHome
thanks
Thank u so much
My fridge and freezer wasn't working since 2 days and I have followed ur method and its started
I have turned off the plug and remove the stuff from the back and it's now working perfectly
Glad we could help. Thanks for watching!
It's very important to keep your appliances at the proper temperatures. Keep the refrigerator temperature at or below 40° F (4° C). The freezer temperature should be 0° F (-18° C). Check temperatures periodically. If the temperatures aren't kept at the proper settings the more chance Listeria, a bacterium that causes foodborne illness, can grow, especially if the refrigerator temperature is above the safe temperature. Thermometers are the best way of knowing these temperatures and are generally inexpensive.
Sir I have same problem as your reply how to resolve it
So why have a thermostat inside fridge.
I have an LG fridge and the temperature says it's at 37F, but it is clearly not cold enough inside. It's not warm, but not as cold as it should be. I have noticed that one of the vents inside the fridge does not have any air coming from it, white the other does.
@Wesmancan you can adjust but it does effect the life
my fridge says it's at 37 degrees and the freezer is at zero. I have Almond milk that should have lasted until the end of October and it's already gone bad. I had a guy come out,which he was glad to do for $99. He said what the part was that I needed, but when I ordered it and was ready to put it in, I realized it was the wrong part! I told the technician, but he never responded. No ethics these days.
My 2009 kitchenaid refer runs Google for 2 weeks than warms up. The compressor is fine coils clean evap motor runs. Is it the thermostat or the circuit board? Is the cooling sensor normally open or closed thank you
SERVICE RECOMANDATION: Let it defrost 1-2days, you need a second fridge but it works, this is for all new models, specialy no frost ones, if freezer is working but fridge temps are up, this might save a trip to service, also for summer better set temps 4 , -19
Thank u you just help us fix for fridge for free thank u
I just unplugged mine for 2 days and it works. Thank goodness because I didn’t have money to buy a new one.
Its doing it again please help 🙈
@@Glo2GoSprayTan_danielle My Liebherr already out of warranty last year, since the service guy came worked until this summer, than try defrost it for half a day and didn't work, so had to move again everything in another fridge & leave it for ~2 days with all doors open, working ok now, but it's very annoying for some one that doesn't have a second freezer to move the food.
@@KEEVVY please keep me updated I don’t know how the freezer works. The fridge is reading 58 now. When I unplugged it for a day ( after all my food was ruined in the fridge) it worked perfectly for like a week.
Thank you for the video. Returned from one week vacation with spoiled milk in the fridge. Seemed fridge was not cold. Checked the coil and it was caked with dust. Clean and reset and the fridge seems to be working so far. fingers crossed
Still working?
@@humza9460 yes nice and 🥶 cold
What do I look up in Google to find a professional who can help me fix my unit? I have done everything in this video and it still is not cooling well :(
Pleas urgent!! Let me know I can adjust the temperature on a LG two door on top.i know it's a button to adjust but my question it's: do higher number cool down mo?? Or going down on number make more cool ? Please! Help? Thanks
How long should it take to see the refrigerator and freezer are beginning to cool down? I unplugged for 5 minutes. It’s been about 20 since I plugged back in.still showing H1 and adjusting temperature.
I have tested my heating element under my coils and that needs to be replace…and my evaporator fan is not working but don’t know if it is the fan itself or maybe voltage to fan that causing it not to work
We have a cool freeze combi .
Only the freeze is working not the top .
What can i do?
Ive had my fan replaced, still collected Ice and blocked fan again. Then replaced electronic unit , but still temp won’t go lower than 50. I should say the freezer also freezes , but ice cream is soft. So both compartments aren’t keeping temp
Very helpful tips and tricks. Thank you. My fridge is cooling well but it is making a loud noise. Could you let me know why I am getting the loud noise off and on from the fridge
Sorry to hear about your noise! It's hard to say without seeing your fridge, but there is a chance that it's just a noise the fridge is meant to make. They tend to be really loud appliances. Sometimes in the owners manual manufacturers will list some noises that you can expect to hear, so you can check to see if it is a normal noise. It could be something like the ice maker making ice.
We just bought the Fridgidaire proffessional side by side. The fridge won't even cool. Brand new and it's crap. The freezer works great, tho.
$5,000+ and now we have to call the company and see if we can get a service guy out here. Ridicoulous.
Ur video is interesting I have a inverter frigadare its not freezing what should I do about it
😅😂
This was very helpful. I put my hand on two of the vents in my LG fridge (located on the left hand side) and the top one I don't feel any air coming out of, the bottom one has very cool air. My refrigerator is not cooling properly. I've done all that you suggested too. Any more suggestions? I have discovered that very few companies repair LG refrigerators. Oh! Joy! I called LG and they gave me a few to call that are far away from my home. I wish it were easier.
I despise my LG refrigerator. Ice machine broke within a year. Compressor broke within 3&1/2 years. Under warranty however there was only one repair shop that serviced that warranty. Appointments for just looking at it were two weeks out. Then it would be another two weeks before they actually repaired it. Had to pay $380 out of pocket so I didn’t have to wait a MONTH to have my fridge fixed. I will never buy anything, especially appliances, with the LG brand on it again. Plus the damn sales man at the store sold me one too big for my space for it and I couldn’t exchange it without paying MORE for a smaller fridge.🤬
Edit: LG also gave me two listings that were repair shops two or more hours away, obviously they don’t service my area and basically laughed at me when I called.
Edit #2: and yes I’m here looking for solutions to my fridge and freezer not cooling enough. Four years since the compressor was replaced.
Try to changed #1 the thermostat, its located behind the back pannel #2 check the heat element me sure it has conduit. Test them with a voltmeter you can get one at harborfright, a 20 voltmeter bucks will do it, set it to omms , it should drop down to 0.0 that means it has conduit. Same thing with the thermostat. It the thermostat works but its not defrosting its because the heater element its broken, the thermostat it will tell the heater element to Start defrosting, when the element its good but the thermostat isn't working is not sending signal to the heater element usually happens every 6 hours the defrosting cycle, when is not defrosting the coil get clogged of frost blocking the air flow to chill the entire frege, good luck hope this will help you to fix the problem. A good thing is that the freezer works so thats a plus.
@lapis9749,
Just FYI, LG's old name was Gold Star. Those old enough to remember the 1980s and early 1990s will remember that name. Gold Star was one of the few Asian companies that sold low quality electronics in the USA.
Their quality is much better today but their customer service is still poor. Samsung is not any better.
Do thermostats typically go bad and need replacing?
What would be the cause of the freezer is working, but just not the other compartment?
I realize this is an old comment but my guess would be that you have a dual evaporator fan setup and that the fridge fan is not working.
thank you this vedio was good information . i bought this 1 1/2 year and now the freezer is not working. i will try your steps and get back to you
Which steps did you try? I removed everything from the fridge and my freezer works better now 👍
I have single fridge so what is right number setting for getting cool
I'm in the UK and have a rangemaster American style side by side refrigerator and freezer. I can hear the normal noise and the fan next to the condenser at the back is working and I've taken the bottom panel off where the fan is and sucked dust etc out with a vacuum cleaner but it is still not cooling. Any ideas?
I need the manual for my Enmore Elite refrigerator
I have an old LG model number; GR-409GQ refrigerator! The compressor seems to be working okay but its not cooling inside! Thought it was the evap. fan but i removed it and connected it to 230 volts of power and it seemed to work just fine. Help me out with ways of troubleshooting. and no there is no frost build up, theres just no cooling at all in both compartments
I have a new Deffy water dispenser refrigerator which just stopped cooling, what might be the problem,? If it s a brand new refrigerator
We tried it all. Ours is only like 4 years old and now we wait on the technician to come next week.
Hello my ge fridge compressor runs for 5 minutes and then turns off for 8 minutes. Is that normal? Please answer me thanks
The day before my refrigerator stopped cooling, the kitchen smelled like burn electrically I thought it was people downstairs. I’ve unplugged the frig … do you have any ideas? I have 20 years roper side by side…
:Your video was informational, Thank you. I have a question we have a 2015 Frigidiare the problems we are experiencing are the refrigerator keeps raising up to 65% and marking H Temp not allowing us to reset the temp. We have notice the freezer box in the fridge is condense with ice. We have recently unplugged the water line because this was happening every few weeks and since we did that refrigerator started working again but just for a few weeks again and we are experiencing the same issue. The freezer stays cold but not as cold to keep items frozen and the refrigerator at a luke warm temp. Any suggestions?
I have the same problem
Looking for solution right now.
I vacuumed the coils and vents. I unplugged the unit, waited 5 minutes, and I upugged everything back. I don't hear any fans blowing now and before I did this the freezer was working. I checked the circuit breaker and so what should I do now? this frige is only 5 years old.
We have Samsung four door fridge the cumpasor working fan everything but it’s not cooling what should be the problems
Hi Blake, my refrig is strange recently. One morning I found everything melt (room T), I turned dial to coldest (both compartments), it did not kick in. Then I turned the dial to 'off ' (not power off), waited for 2 min, turned back on to normal settings, it started to cooling again.
The same thing happened again this morning.
Do you know what the problem is? Should I replace it?
Thanks!
my Refrigerator still working but the cooling is not very freezing like always only in the under side but the top side is cooling just fine, even when i put it to the max level its still not enough all my drink just feel almost cold but not freezing what should i do?
