Check to be sure both fan in freezer and fan at compressor is running. If fans are running and compressor is running continuously, most likely it’s a freon blockage or leak problem.
Nataly if there is not any cold air anywhere and compressor is running that indicates a Freon leak and worth very little due to repair cost. You must be sure that compressor is running not the fan noise
I understand that your Refridgerator is not getting cold. I do not know if it is just the fridge or the fridge and freezer. If both are getting warm then you need to make sure the compressor is running in the back at the bottom of the fridge it will be humming. If the compressor is not running then nothing is going to get cold.
If the compressor is running then you may have a problem with your fan not running inorder to move around the cold air. Below are two tips that will help you to check both of them.
the coolling in a refrigerator occurs when the compressor forces freon thru the system and the expansion of gas in the coils of the freezer takes heat away thus cooling the fridge. if no cooling is happening then the compressor is not running, the freon is to low on the charge, or the small "cap" line from the compressor to the cooling coils is blocked. Unfortunately the compressor is the most expensive part of the refrigerator and if it has stopped this can be a expensive problem. there is a few other things that can make the compressor stop. there is an overheat protection device on the side of the compressor that once in a while opens up thus no electrical power to the compressor and no cooling. the other part that can fail is the cold control thermastat. if this opens up the fridge can't start the compressor because the open condition of the cold control never "calls for cold". the other simple thing that can stop the cooling is a totally frosted up coil condition. the air can't circulate around the coils so no cold gets to the inside of the fridge. simple test step one unplug the fridge for 10 minutes then plug back in. Do you hear the motor in the bottom run? If it runs wait ten more minutes and put your hand into the freezer compartment. Do the sides feel cold? if the motor (compressor) in the bottom runs but freezer doesn't get cold then the system is defective and there will be no easy fix. If the freezer does show cold then the problem could be with the "evaporator" fan that circulates cold. this is an inexpensive part and can be replaced at a reasonable cost.
the first thing to check is the thermostat if its stoped working them it wont be telling the compressor to start up and the unit wont get cold,,
have this looked at first as its the cheapest part to renew
hi there,
if there is a steak running of compressor check the
the lubrication oil or change oil if neccessary.also check
the motor condition by loosening the belt from pulley
and run alone the motor if still tripping off,replace bearing
of the motor.have a nice day and fix my rate thanks a lot
First, make sure the compressor is running. It is underneath the refrigerator body. If the compressor is running, and you still don't have cold air, check the compressor fan. This should be close to the compressor. This fan draws air across the coils and removes heat from them. The compressor and fan must both be operating properly to get cold air.
hi there....locate the high pressure pipe (small diameter pipe)...touch it by hand and feel is it cold....warm.....hot............
cold.......compressor running but no ressure......change comressor
warm.....compressor running....low in gas or internal gas leak..try recharging system may not be repairable
hot.....compressor running.....blocked system....usually not repairable
