Possible Causes

Dirty condenser coils, Condenser fan running slowly or intermittently, Door gaskets leaking warm air, Overpacked shelves blocking vents

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning coils or working near moving fans.

  • Clean condenser: Use a coil brush and vacuum to thoroughly clean the condenser coils under or behind the unit.
  • Check condenser fan: Ensure the fan spins freely and runs whenever the compressor is on. Replace if noisy or slow.
  • Inspect gaskets: Look for gaps, tears, or hardened sections in door gaskets. Replace if they do not seal tightly.
  • Organize contents: Keep air vents clear and avoid blocking the rear wall with large items.
