Seems to be running, but not cooling?

3 1/2 years old. Under counter mount. Door seals. Light works. Condenser vacuumed regularly. When turning dial on, the fan or compressor comes on. Air flow from the bottom front of the unit. Sometimes sounds like water running in the back of the unit. Cools to a certain point, but then shuts down and does not come back on. The only way to get the fan (or compressor) to come back on, is to turn the dial off, let it sit for a few minutes and then power back up. Repeats the same cycle. Thermostat? Control panel? Bad compressor?

SOURCE: I have a u line

If compressor is running then unit has a sealed system issue- throw it away unless still under wty. If comp not running then probably bad relay on it. Only way to check is to replace relay. Please contact me if you need further help or leave feedback if appropriate as that is how I get paid. Thanks for letting me help you!

SOURCE: cools at start up....then gets warm..compressor is warm.

I would need to know the model of this. However if the condenser fan is Not runing then the problem is that. If it is then it could be the sealed system and you will need a tech to check it out.

SOURCE: Refrigerator compressor motor will not run.

Does the fan work? If yes then the compressor has a relay and overload that might be bad. Or it could be a compressor that is bad. If its a compressor then you will need to have a tech verify that it is the problem. If nothing is running then it could be a thermostat thats not switching it on. Let me know if you need any more help with it.

Good day,
You should first verify the age. There should be a 5 year warranty on the compressor. In your owners manual it might refer to it as a sealed system component or compressor.
Call your selling dealer and verify that. If it is, then have a service call performed by them, or an authorized repair station they use.

My GE Profile French door refrigerator won't cool under 47' Fahrenheit?
Here are some possible causes and solutions to consider:

1. Check the temperature settings: Ensure that the temperature settings are set to the recommended levels for your refrigerator. You can refer to the user manual or manufacturer's website for the recommended temperature range. The target range is between 35-38°F

2. Clean the condenser coils: Dirty or clogged condenser coils can prevent the refrigerator from cooling properly. Clean the condenser coils located at the back or bottom of the refrigerator using a vacuum or brush.

3. Check the evaporator fan: The evaporator fan circulates cool air throughout the refrigerator and normally runs constantly. If it's not functioning correctly, it can cause the refrigerator to stop cooling. Check that the fan is running and for any obstructions or damage and replace it if necessary.

4. Check the door seals: The door seals ensure that the refrigerator is properly sealed, preventing warm air from entering. Check the seals for any cracks, gaps or damage and replace them if necessary.

5. On many Fridge Freezers, the cold air for the fridge is vented from the freezer side into the fridge. If the freezer coils ice up or block due to faulty defrosting, it can cause no cold air to reach the fridge compartment.

6. Checking the refrigerant gas levels: If the refrigerant levels are low, the refrigerator will not cool properly. Only qualified technician can check the refrigerant levels and add more if necessary.

Hot door seal, rail, divider strip between refrigerator and freezer.
If the mullion (rail between the fresh food section and the freezer section) on your refrigerator is hotter than normal this tip will help identify and remedy the issue hopefully before it gets to the point of loosing the cooling.

Theory:
Refrigerated surfaces will attract moisture, especially in the warmer more humid areas and times of year. Since the refrigerator and freezer are cold moisture can accumulate near the door from normal use, this moisture can get into the door seals and cause them to not seal properly, mold and otherwise cause a nuisance.

Why Hot:
To keep the moisture from accumulating on this surface the refrigerator manufactures have run part of the hot condenser tubing inside the cabinet close to that rail, under normal running circumstances this rail will be slightly above room temperature and the amount of heat not noticeable. The condenser is the set of coils that are on the back or bottom of the refrigerator and disperse the heat from the unit. If the condenser is very dirty or the fan that keeps the condenser cool is not running then the condenser coils and thus the mullion (rail) gets very hot and overheats. This heat will eventually cause the compressor to work harder and possibly overheat and turn off occasionally to cool itself. This will lead to reduced cooling in the freezer and refrigerator.

Fix: If the coils are under the refrigerator, pull the front grille off of the bottom, check if you feel air coming out, if not then the fan is not running, look for dust and dirt build up on the coils, clean with a brush and vacuum, do not be afraid to get aggressive with the brush. If the fan is not running you will need to go to the back of the refrigerator and unplug the power cord. Remove the back panel off the bottom and you should see the fan. It may have some dust or other debris blocking the fan blade from turning. If so clean that out very good, clean the coils from the back if accessible also. Be sure to put the back panel on as it is there to direct the air flow across the compressor and coils, without that panel the condenser will overheat.

If the fan does not run after cleaning it you will need to replace the fan motor, it is a common part that should be available at most retail appliance part dealers. Just be sure to get your model and serial number before calling.

My fridge seems to be continually running and keeps everything cold. It is in a hot garage during the day but it still runs continually during the night. It is twenty years old.
Find the condenser coil. It is either on the back or underneath. Be sure it is clean of dust and dirt. You may have to blow out areas you cannot reach Use a vacuum as you blow out to catch dirt Reduced capacity due to dirt is a cause of running too long. Also check the door seal. Place a $1 bill at the door seal and close the door. You should not be able side the bill out with the door closed. If you can you need a new seal.

Old whirlpool freezer door left slightly ajar.light on inside.door won't seal. Rubber on door warm.
FRIDGE COILS or door walls SEEM VERY HOT:

The condenser coils do get hot. They can even be to hot to comfortably touch and this is normal.

The refrigerator should not run constantly but shut off with each defrost cycle.

Running constantly and never cycling off can indicate a cooling problem.

One thing to try is to wait till it has been running a few minutes then open the door and turn your cycling thermostat towards the off position. It should cycle off before getting to the off position on the dial.

If it does not cycle off then it's not getting cold enough to satisfy the thermostat. This is likely the reason the refrigerator runs all the time.

A thermometer in a glass of water can be used to check the temperatures in the refrigerator section.

You can check that all fans are running.

the reason the outer side of the door seal area is getting hot is the compressor is over heating, probably the condenser fan motor to your compressor is bad.
It should be a little warm but not hot. they don't use heaters anymore ( some older models still use heaters) around the doors, instead they use the condenser coils to remove condensation and moister, you might want to check your condenser coils on the bottom or back of fridge to see if they need cleaning
If the condenser coils/condenser fan are all plugged up they need cleaning and/or the condenser may fail or has failed..

The ones that use an electric heater will have an "energy saver" switch that will turn it off.: God is the reason I give you free advice so God is good!

Subzero 532 refrig fan(& compressor) doesn't shut off
the higher the number on a fridge the warmer it is so setting it to 1 is close to 0C
when working on a fridge or freezer always turn it off at the wall
if the fridge is keep cold but not cold enough set it back to say 3
if the compressor is running and the back fins / wall is hot then the fridge is working
use a piece of paper between the door seal and the fridge edge to ensure that it is sticking to the fridge and sealing off properly

The above will take you to the installation manual for your unit. This is to make sure you have set up the unit to their specs.

There are multiple things that can cause a lack of cooling. Let's cover a few of them.

1: Make sure the condenser coil under the unit is clean. You have to be able to take a flashlight and see light through the coil and fins. Be sure unit is off when cleaning. Use vacuum, compressed air, or a long, stiff bristle brush and go with the fins direction so they do not bend over.

2: The termostat may be set wrong or is not working as designed. Look for the compressor and fan on the condenser to cycle off when temp is met and on when it gets too warm. If unit is running all the time, look for frozen up evap.

3: If evap is frozen up, no air can pass through so no cooling is taking place. Air can not go through a solid block of ice. Clear ice with warm water. Again, make sure unit is off first.

4: Door not sealing or closing all the way. Seal on door should have magnets that help seal them to the door frame.

5: Again, if unit is running all the time, as in #2 above, unit may be low on refrigerant (freon). If you suspect this to be the case, have a qualified tech do the repair. Make sure he locates and repairs the leak. Adding freon without the repair means he will be back to do it a second time. The system is a sealed one and you should not have to continually add freon.

Good Luck and hope this get you going.

GE refrigerator 12 years old runs continuously, exterior warm
Probably not. Newer (and I mean under 15 years old or so) refrigerators may run more % of the time than older units, but are using far less energy while running, so total energy consumption is actually less. The newest energy star models often use less electricity than a single incandescent light bulb uses if left on 24/7. If your run times are noticeably longer just recently, and there have been no other significant changes to account for it (like more and / or longer door openings or a warmer ambient temp., etc.) then you may have caught a defrost problem or bad door gasket problem early. The warm temp on the outer case near the freezer is to prevent condensation from forming in those areas, and is normal. (as a matter of fact, older refrigs often used low wattage electric heaters for that task, almost all newer units use waste heat from the cooling system to accomplish that task) Please don't bother rating this solution, as anything but a Fix-Ya lowers my overall score. Thanks.

Whirlpool Refrigerator Door Seal surface is HOT.
If the air flow on the condenser under the fridge is too low, the hot gas won't be cooled enough before it goes to the door jamb to stop condensation. Remove the plastic cover under the doors and look at the condenser (tube/wire thing underneath). If it is clogged with fluff, get a vacuum and nozzle and give it a good clean so the air can pass through. Other than that, your condenser fan may have stopped.

Frig won't cool, freezer works fine
Defrost unit completely. You're frosting up. Then, avoid leaving the door open, leaving liquids and food uncovered. Clean condenser coils. If it happens again, you need refrigerant.
