How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before accessing sensors or dampers.
Step-by-step:
- Adjust settings: Raise the fridge temperature setting by 1–2 degrees and monitor for 24 hours.
- Check food placement: Avoid placing delicate items directly in front of cold air vents.
- Inspect damper: Locate the air damper between freezer and fridge (often at the top rear). Ensure it is not stuck fully open due to ice or mechanical failure.
- Defrost if iced: If the damper area is iced, unplug and defrost the unit fully.
Action: If temperatures remain too low despite adjustments, the sensor or control board may be faulty and should be tested.
