Possible Causes
Evaporator fan not running, Air damper stuck closed, Ice blocking air channels, Return air vents blocked by food
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before removing internal panels.
- Check for blocked vents: Move food away from vents in both fridge and freezer. Ensure air can circulate freely.
- Listen for fan: With the freezer door open, press the door switch. You should hear the evaporator fan. If not, it may be faulty or iced over.
- Inspect for frost: If the freezer rear wall is heavily frosted, perform a full manual defrost (12–24 hours unplugged) and then monitor.
- Access fan and damper: If the problem returns quickly, remove the freezer rear panel to inspect the fan and air passages. Clear any ice and ensure the fan spins freely.
- Replace failed components: If the fan motor is not operating or the damper is broken, replace the defective part.
