How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before removing panels or accessing fans.
Steps:
- Verify temperatures: Use a thermometer to confirm freezer is near 0°F (-18°C). Adjust settings if needed.
- Check ice room fan: Listen for the fan running when doors are closed (use door switch). If not running, replace the ice room fan motor.
- Inspect seals: Check the ice room door flap and surrounding gaskets for gaps or damage. Replace worn seals.
- Check for frost on evaporator: Heavy frost on the freezer evaporator can reduce cooling. If present, a defrost system fault may require professional diagnosis.
