Both the refrigerator and the freezer are slowly warming. I have the unit that has the coils underneath and not on the back. I also have several dogs and a cat. When I pulled the front off, the coils were covered with hair and dust. I thought it was just not pulling enough air across the coils so I cleaned them as best as I could but the unit is still warming. I checked the breakers in my breaker box hoping one of them was not thrown all the way thus not giving the unit full power, but that did not seem to be the case. Any suggestions??? I appreciate anay help that I can get.
Pull the refrigerator away from the wall, and remove the 'cardboard' cover from the back. Make sure the condenser fan is working. If not, replace it! Also check that the area around the compressor is not blocked.
Testimonial: "I have it pulled away from the wall, and I have the cardboard removed. The fan is working fine and I have cleaned around the condenser. Thank you "
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...
