How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit. Refrigeration repairs involve high pressure and should be done by certified technicians.
- Check evaporator temperature: After 10–15 minutes of operation, the evaporator should be very cold to the touch and may frost lightly. If it remains at room temperature, there is a cooling issue.
- Inspect condenser coil: Clean dust and lint from the condenser fins and ensure the fan is operating.
- Listen to compressor: Confirm the compressor is running (steady hum and slight vibration). If it is hot and cycling off quickly, it may be failing.
- Look for oil stains: Oil around joints or tubing can indicate a refrigerant leak.
- Professional service: If the compressor runs but there is no cooling, or if a leak is suspected, contact a refrigeration technician. Recharging or replacing the sealed system is not a DIY repair.
