. Cut everything off for a few minutes then turn it back on
and listen for a click from the compressor relay as the compressor tries to
start.

relay.

Is the evaporator fan in the freezer running. It blows cold
air into the fridge side through a damper in the wall between the freezer and
fridge. Make sure the damper is open.
Below the evaporator fan is the evaporator coils. Remove the
back cover in the freezer to observe the frost pattern. Light frost everywhere(NORMAL)
or a partial pattern of ice(LOW ON FREON) or nothing(LOW FREON OR COMPRESSOR
PROBLEM).
Not all refrigerators are insulated the same and not all
condensers are in the same place. Your cold control is monitoring the
temperature of the refrigerator section and is designed to turn off the
compressor to keep things from freezing in that section. If it stays cold long
enough outside in your garage the cold control thinks its cold enough and won't
turn the compressor on. A makeshift closet to hold a little heat the unit
generates will probably help.
Hi,
Many times a freezer and/or refrigerator do not work right because of a dirty condenser coil...there are also many other things that can go wrong.
If you are hearing a clicking or buzzing then check out the last two tips.
If your refrigerator is running but warm, then...
Check out these tips that I wrote about that... it is a great place to start trouble shooting your unit...and something that you can do rather then calling a repair person to do a simple thing for you...
