Refrigerator Not Cooling Properly
Check temperature settings (35°F–38°F fridge, 0°F–5°F freezer). Inspect door seals for gaps or damage. Ensure vents are not blocked.
Freezer Issues
Check for frost buildup on coils. Ensure airflow is not blocked. If problems persist, the compressor or evaporator may be faulty.
Strange Noises
Humming is normal. Buzzing, clicking, or grinding may indicate issues with the fan, motor, or compressor. Check for obstructions and level the fridge.
Water Leaks
Check for a clogged or frozen defrost drain. Inspect water supply lines if using an ice maker or dispenser.
Ice Maker Problems
Ensure water supply is on. Check ice maker switch and freezer temperature. Frozen lines or faulty ice maker module may block production.
Excessive Frost Build-Up
Inspect door seals and ensure doors close properly. Frost may indicate a faulty defrost system.
Refrigerator Runs Constantly
Clean condenser coils. Avoid overstocking and high ambient temperatures.
Conclusion
Check basic components like temperature settings, seals, vents, and coils. For complex issues with compressor, motor, or defrost system, contact a professional.
