Possible Causes
Dirty condenser coils, Failing condenser fan, Door gasket leaks, Low refrigerant charge or partial blockage
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Condenser cleaning:
- Unplug the unit and pull it away from the wall.
- Locate the condenser coils (underneath or at the back) and vacuum dust and lint thoroughly. Use a soft brush to avoid bending fins.
Check condenser fan:
- With power restored, ensure the fan near the compressor runs when the compressor is on.
Door seals:
- Inspect gaskets for gaps or tears. Close a sheet of paper in the door; if it pulls out easily, the seal may be weak or the door misaligned.
Note: If coils are clean, fans run, and seals are good but cooling is still weak, a sealed-system issue (refrigerant leak or restriction) is likely and requires a certified technician.
