Why Your Refrigerator Isn’t Cooling and How Our Technicians Can Fix It
When your refrigerator stops cooling, it’s more than just annoying — it can cause food to spoil, waste money, and create a big headache. No matter if you have a top freezer, bottom freezer, side-by-side, or French door fridge, a cooling problem means something inside isn’t working right.
At A+ Appliance Repair and Maintenance, we’ve been fixing refrigerators since 2015. Our trained technicians help families and businesses in Los Angeles County, the Chicago Metro Area, and other nearby cities get their fridges working again quickly. In this post, we’ll explain the most common reasons your fridge isn’t cooling and how our team can fix the problem.
Common Reasons Your Refrigerator Stops Cooling
1. Dirty Condenser Coils
Your fridge has coils that release heat. If these coils are covered in dust, dirt, or pet hair, they can’t work properly, and your fridge won’t stay cold.
How We Fix It: We clean the coils and check for any damage that could cause future problems.
2. Broken Evaporator Fan Motor
This fan moves cold air around the fridge. If it stops working, you might notice the freezer is still cold, but the fridge is warm.
How We Fix It: We test the fan motor and replace it if it’s broken.
3. Bad Compressor or Start Relay
The compressor helps move refrigerant through the fridge to keep it cold. If the compressor or the small part that starts it (the start relay) fails, your fridge may not cool at all.
How We Fix It: We test both parts and replace them if needed using high-quality parts that match your fridge brand.
4. Thermostat or Control Board Problems
If the thermostat or control board isn’t working, the fridge might get too warm or too cold.
How We Fix It: We check and adjust the settings. If the controls are faulty, we replace them.
5. Low Refrigerant Levels
If your fridge has a leak, it can lose refrigerant, making it hard to keep cool.
How We Fix It: Our licensed technicians find and repair the leak, then refill the refrigerant safely.
