Refrigerator Not Cold Enough in Queens, NY

Refrigerator Plug – Sometimes, your refrigerator plug falls out of the outlet or is unplugged by someone in the home.

Thermostat Verification – Check your thermostat to determine if it is set to an appropriate temperature.

Door Check – It’s important to check the refrigerator gaskets and doors, the elastic strips around the edges of the door, and the light in your refrigerator.

Cold Air Circulation – There may be food or drinks blocking the vents and obstructing cold air from proper circulation.

Compressor – The compressor compresses and pushes refrigerant vapor into your refrigerator’s coils. This action creates heat that forms hot gas to cool and absorb your refrigerator heat. If it is not working properly, the refrigerator cannot reach a lower temperature.

Condenser Coils – Condenser coils are part of your refrigerator that carry the compressor’s warm air to your evaporator coils. If the condenser coils are clogged, your refrigerator cannot get proper air circulation to stay cool.

Condenser Fan – The condenser fan works to keep your compressor and condenser oils cool. When it isn’t working properly, it can overheat the working parts of your refrigerator.

Evaporator Fan – Your evaporator fan pulls air across your evaporator coil to cool it and pushes it through the system. Your refrigerator cannot produce cool air when the evaporator fan isn’t working.

Air Damper – Your air damper controls air transfer between your freezer and refrigerator. If the air damper cannot open, the cold air from your freezer cannot adequately travel to your refrigerator.
