Side By Side Refrigerator Not Cooling?
Both sides of the LG refrigerator are cooled by cold air blown onto the evaporator coils by a fan, which then circulates the air in both directions. The evaporator fan motor draws air from the evaporator coils (cooling) and directs it to the refrigerator and freezer compartments. A faulty evaporator fan motor drives a fan that blows cold air around the refrigerator coils. Without this fan, the refrigerant will not cool enough to keep the temperature in the refrigerator.
If the evaporator fan is not working, you will notice that your GE refrigerator is hot and the freezer is cold. If one of the fans fails or the compressor is turned off, the refrigerator will cool little or no cooling at all. If the fan fails, cold air will not flow into the bay. If the condenser fan motor is not running, the freezer may be cold but the freezer is not cooling.
If the refrigerator is not cold enough, something may be stuck in the condenser fan motor blade or the condenser fan motor may be defective. If the condenser fan is not working properly, the refrigerator temperature may rise and the compressor may overheat. Without a working fan, your refrigerator can easily overheat and not cool properly.
If these coils are covered in dust, dirt, or lint, the refrigerator may not cool properly. As the refrigerant cools in the evaporator coil, frost may form on the coil. While a refrigerator’s defrost system usually melts this frost, if it doesn’t work properly, the frost can build up and block airflow to the evaporator coil. If any part of the refrigerator’s defrost system fails, ice can begin to build up on the evaporator coil, making your Whirlpool refrigerator work harder to keep it cool.
If the refrigeration fans and compressor are running but the refrigerator or freezer is not cooling properly, check for problems with the airflow or the defrosting system. If the refrigerator is still not cooling properly, the problem could be the refrigerant level or the compressor. If your refrigerator compartment freezes contents even when the refrigeration control is set to the lowest setting, the problem is most likely with a faulty refrigerator temperature sensor or cold control. A refrigerator with a low level of refrigerant cannot reach the low temperature set on the refrigeration control dial.
Frost in the freezer can also block vents, reducing or preventing cold air from entering the refrigerator. If the refrigerator is full, objects may block the vents that let cool air into the refrigerator. If there are too many items in the refrigerator, they may prevent cold air from entering the GE refrigerator. Cold air flows from the sides of the refrigerator to the freezer and back to the refrigerator.
Door seals ensure that cold air inside the refrigerator is trapped inside rather than escaping into the kitchen. If one side of the refrigerator is lower than the other, its heavy door doesn’t always close tightly. Even if the rest of the refrigerator is working fine, if the magnetic seal on the door (also known as a “door seal”) fails, cold air can escape from the refrigerator.
You may have also noticed that your refrigerator is noisy, which may be due to your refrigerator making more of an effort to maintain the proper temperature. If you notice that your refrigerator is constantly turning on and off, or if the continuous hum becomes loud enough to be noticed, your refrigerator may be broken. If you find that the refrigerator is plugged into a working outlet, the refrigerator switch has not worked, the cold control is set correctly, but the device still does not show signs of life, leave the door closed to keep cold air in and call a repair shop. human.
If you’ve checked the above reasons and your Whirlpool refrigerator is still warm, you may have a broken condenser fan motor, failed thermostat or other parts, which means it’s time to call in a repairman. When you find that your Whirlpool refrigerator is not cooling but the freezer is working fine, a failed evaporator fan motor is a common fault. A faulty evaporator fan motor will slowly cause cooling to stop on the cooling side due to lack of circulation. If you can hear the compressor running but the refrigerator is not cooling, the problem is most likely frost-clogged evaporator coils or a blocked or broken evaporator fan.
If you open the refrigerator and find sour milk or warm wine, it should be obvious that your refrigerator is not cooling well enough. Since our freezer works well, and since I didn’t feel cold air coming out of the fridge vents (see diagram), it’s pretty obvious to me that one of the two parts isn’t working properly.
The temperature of the air inside the refrigerator is maintained through a series of internal and external vents. Often, people unknowingly block the vents when they store food inside the refrigerator or other items near it (for example, in the refrigerator).
Over time, coils that are not in a sealed box can become covered in dust, hair, or pet hair, reducing their ability to keep the air in the refrigerator cool. The coils dissipate the heat from the refrigerator into the room with the help of a fan. The coils are shaped like a snake and are often found under the refrigerator. The evaporator with a working system should have a very, very thin layer of white frost on all coils from top to bottom.
