Possible Causes
Door gasket leak, Dirty condenser coil, Failed temperature sensor reading too warm, Refrigerant leak or weak compressor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug before cleaning or accessing components.
Steps:
- Check temperature: Use a thermometer to verify actual interior temperature. If it never reaches setpoint, cooling capacity is low.
- Inspect gasket and door: Ensure the door gasket seals all around. Replace if damaged.
- Clean condenser: Clean the condenser coil and verify the condenser fan runs.
- Test sensor: Check the cabinet temperature sensor for correct readings. Replace if faulty.
- Sealed system: If all above are good, a sealed system issue (leak or weak compressor) is likely and requires professional service.
