Condenser Fan Motor Error
Symptom
Chemical or plastic burning smell coming from refrigerator, especially near the back.
Overheating Electrical Component
Symptom
Clicking sound every few minutes, compressor attempts to start but shuts off quickly, refrigerator not cooling.
Compressor Hard Start / Overload Trip
Symptom
Condensation or moisture forming on the outside of the refrigerator cabinet or around door gaskets.
Exterior Condensation / High Humidity
Symptom
Door gasket is torn, cracked, or hardened, causing warm air leaks and frost buildup.
Door Gasket Deterioration
Symptom
Excessive frost buildup in freezer, thick ice on shelves and walls, door difficult to close.
Excessive Frost / Moisture Ingress
Symptom
Freezer is cold but refrigerator section is warm, food spoils in fresh food compartment while ice remains solid in freezer.
Airflow Restriction Between Freezer and Fresh Food
Symptom
Freezer too cold, ice cream rock hard and items covered in frost, while refrigerator may be colder than setpoint.
Overcooling / Thermostat or Sensor Out of Calibration
Symptom
Ice buildup only on the back wall of the freezer behind the panel, airflow reduced and temperatures rising.
Defrost System Failure
Symptom
Ice cubes are small, hollow, or clumped together in the bin.
Poor Ice Quality / Low Water Flow
Symptom
Ice maker not making ice, ice bin empty after 24–48 hours.
No Ice Production
Symptom
Interior light stays on when door is closed, causing heat and possible melting near the light area.
Door Switch or Light Circuit Failure
Symptom
Interior lights work but compressor and fans do not run, display may be blank or unresponsive.
Control Board or User Interface Failure
Symptom
Refrigerator cycles on and off rapidly, or temperature swings widely.
Control Cycling / Thermostat Hysteresis Issue
Symptom
Refrigerator door will not close properly or pops open after closing the other door (on French door models).
Door Alignment / Seal Issue
Symptom
Refrigerator has a persistent rotten or fishy smell from the back or underneath, not inside the compartments.
Contaminated Drain Pan / External Spill
