- First, check to see if the light comes on or if there is any fan, motor, or other sound coming from the appliance? If so, the refrigerator isn't really completely stopped--go to the specific problem you are having. If not, try adjusting the thermostat to a colder setting. If that doesn't work, read on.

Second, check to see if there is power getting to the refrigerator. To do that, plug a lamp or other device into the same outlet the refrigerator is plugged into. If there's no power, check the fuses or circuit breakers. If the fuses or breakers aren't the problem, contact a qualified electrician to restore power to the outlet.

If there is power to the appliance but it still seems to be stopped, there may be a problem in one or more of these:

• Wiring



• Thermostat



• Defrost timer



• Compressor



• Overload and/or relay

Unfortunately, we can't describe all of the possible problems and repair solutions here. If you are unable to troubleshoot the problem from here, you may need to contact a qualified appliance repair technician.

- Yes, no(or low) freon or refrigerant would definitely prevent it from cooling.

- well you need to add more freon on the compressor, just make sure you burf first the propane. and the after that you can inject the freon..

- of course you must add freon on the compressor unit... is it better to burp first the remaining freon on the unit..
