Is your refrigerator not cooling or freezing?

Is your refrigerator not cooling or freezing? Don’t worry, let’s troubleshoot it together!

First, check if your fridge is plugged in and the power switch is on. It might seem obvious, but it’s always a good start.

Next, make sure the thermostat is set correctly. Sometimes it gets bumped and needs adjusting. Set it to the middle setting and see if it starts cooling.

If the fridge still isn’t cooling, check the vents inside. Make sure nothing is blocking them, allowing cool air to circulate properly.

Also, inspect the door seals. If they’re damaged or not sealing properly, cold air can escape. You can test them by closing the door on a piece of paper. If you can pull the paper out easily, the seal needs to be replaced.

Lastly, clean the condenser coils. Dust and dirt can build up and prevent the fridge from cooling. Unplug your fridge, locate the coils at the back or underneath, and gently clean them with a brush or vacuum.

If you’ve tried all these steps and your fridge still isn’t working, it might be time to call a professional.

Hope this helps! Keep your fridge running smoothly and your food fresh!
