Possible Causes
Blocked air vents, Faulty damper control, Evaporator fan speed issues, Incorrect loading of food
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before accessing the damper or fan.
- Check loading: Avoid blocking vents with large items, especially near the back wall and top of the fresh food compartment.
- Inspect vents: Locate and ensure all air vents are clear of frost and debris.
- Damper function: Observe if cold air is flowing from the damper when the fresh food compartment calls for cooling. Replace the damper if it does not open/close properly.
- Fan speed: Listen for the evaporator fan ramping up and down. If it runs erratically or not at all, replace the fan motor.
