Refrigerator not cold enough, food soft in freezer and milk spoils quickly in fresh food section.

Safety: Unplug the unit before removing panels or cleaning coils.

• 1. Confirm temperature settings: Set freezer to around 0°F (-18°C) and refrigerator to 37–40°F (3–4°C). Avoid the warmest settings.
• 2. Clean condenser coils: Remove dust and debris from coils to improve heat rejection.
• 3. Check evaporator fan: Listen for the fan in the freezer when the compressor is running. If silent, test and replace the evaporator fan motor if faulty.
• 4. Inspect for frost on evaporator: Remove the freezer rear panel. A solid block of ice on the evaporator indicates defrost system failure (heater, thermostat, or control). Manually defrost and then test/replace the failed component.
• 5. Check door openings: Frequent or prolonged door openings can raise temperatures. Ensure doors close fully and gaskets seal well.
• 6. If evaporator shows only partial frost pattern: A small patch of frost on one corner suggests low refrigerant or a weak compressor, requiring professional service.
