REFRIGERATOR REPAIR
TIPS
If your refrigerator
is not running or is not cold
enough...
-
Turn the thermostat up to the next highest
setting. If it comes on, let it run for 24 hours
and check temperature to confirm it is working
properly.
-
Clear/remove anything blocking the air
flow around the outside of the refrigerator (on
top, underneath, behind, beside, in front of,
etc.). Allow 3" of clearance all the way
around.
-
If there are condenser coils on the rear
of the box, make sure the box is several inches
from the wall and that nothing is on top at the
rear, blocking the heat from coming off the
coils.
-
If the condenser coils are underneath the
refrigerator, clean the coils with a vacuum cleaner
thoroughly at least twice a
year.
If the door is sticking or not
closing properly...
-
Wipe off the face of the gasket
with a wet rag and make sure the interior shelves,
drawers and food are not preventing the door from
closing from the inside.
