Possible Causes

Compressor not running, Sealed-system fault, Evaporator heavily iced blocking airflow, Control PCB not energizing compressor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Steps to diagnose:

  • 1. Listen for compressor: If the fan runs but the compressor is silent, investigate compressor start and control issues.
  • 2. Check for ice: Remove the inner rear panel and inspect the evaporator. If it is a solid block of ice, resolve defrost system faults.
  • 3. Verify temperature: Use a thermometer to confirm actual cabinet temperature and monitor changes over several hours.

Action: If the compressor is not running or the evaporator is not getting cold, a professional may be needed to check the sealed system and control board.
