Refrigerators
Understand cooling problems, airflow, frost, and when a refrigerator needs professional diagnosis.
Before you call
Understand the problem
Cooling trouble can have several causes, from a blocked vent or door seal problem to a component that needs testing. Notice which compartment is warm and whether the problem is constant or intermittent.
Helpful details to note
- Is the freezer still cold while the fresh-food section warms up?
- Are there unusual sounds, frost, or water where you do not expect them?
- Has the door been closing fully, and are interior vents clear?
