My Refrigerator Isn’t Coming On?

If the fridge is trying to chill, but cannot do the job, the fridge is going to be running all the time. If your fridge does not start, and no fans are running, you might have a faulty control. If either of the fans is out, or if the compressor is off, then your fridge is going to provide very little or none of its cooling. If the evaporator fan is not working, or it is turned on while the compressor is running, the appliance cannot generate cooling air.

If the evaporator fan does not operate, then no cool air is going into your cooler. If The condenser fan motor is not working, you might get colder freezer, but not cool inside freezer. If the condenser fan is not working correctly, your fridges temperature can go up, and your compressor can get too hot. Without a functioning fan, it is easy for your fridge to get too hot and stop cooling.
Even a small leak could cause problems in the refrigerator as well as in the freezer, with neither cooling problem being addressed. Condenser coils, and problems with them, may mean that your refrigerator is not getting enough cold air. If the coils are not working correctly, it can be really hard for the fridge to cool.

It is important to note that coolers that have the condenser coils in the back will not have fans. Check that there is nothing stuck inside the condenser fan, and that it is spinning freely (models with coils on the back will not have a fan). The condenser fan is located in the lower portion of the refrigerator, inside a compartment close to the compressor and condenser coils (note, cooler models with coils on the back, rather than on the bottom, will not have a fan).

The compressor looks like a tank, and is located behind the refrigerator on the bottom. There are coils located underneath or behind your fridge which cools down the fridge and condenses refrigerant. The compressor is part of the refrigerator that compresses and pushes refrigerant vapour to coils on the outside of the refrigerator.

The condenser fan is there to keep both the compressor and coils cool, so if that breaks, then the refrigerator starts heating up. Plug in your cooler, and ensure that the fan is running while the compressor is running. If the fan is still running on your freezer, but the refrigerator is not getting any cooler, then either the compressor or compressor startup relay may be broken.

If your fan is running, but your compressor is not starting, or you are hearing clicking sounds coming from your appliance, check your overloaded relays for signs of overheating or arcing. If the fridge is clicking, or the compressor will not start despite the fact you hear the fans running, there is a chance the overload relay is arcing or overheating. If you can hear the compressor running, but the fridge is not cooling, it is more likely the issue is clogged evaporator coils from freezing, or the fan is jammed or broken. If you set the fridges thermostat for colder air, the fridges compressor will start up, forcing less air to flow through the cooling fan.

Normally, your fridges condenser fan and compressor, located near the floor in the back of most fridges, turn on when your thermostat calls for more cooling. When a refrigerator fan is running, that means that both the defrost timer and cold setting on your fridge are on COOL. The fan, an evaporator, circulates cool air through the freezer, and when it stops working, temperatures start rising across the refrigerator.

The evaporator fans job is to pull cold air out from a different set of coils and circulate throughout the whole unit – first in the freezer, and then in the cooler (or fresh produce section). The coils are the most labor-intensive part of a fridge, and they are part of the process of taking hot gases and turning them into cool liquids, which makes a refrigerator cool. Clogged condenser coils can create a bad circulation of air, restricting the fridges ability to maintain cooling.

Even if your fridges other parts are working properly, if your doors magnetic seal–also called a door gasket–is not working properly, cold air inside the refrigerator may escape. The freezer might work properly if a defective air seal is working properly, but cold air might not get to the refrigerator.

Since your fridge is designed to keep food and beverages cool, we understand how frustrating it can be when the refrigerator is not cool enough. It is no wonder when your fridge starts running hot, stops cooling the right way, leaking water, or suddenly goes from being a silent appliance to being loud, you might understandably get anxious about whether your hard-working appliance is going to give up. Over stressing the fridge degrades its performance, making it less than ideal for food preservation.

A good rule of thumb is to store plenty of food items in the fridge, which helps keep the temperature down, but not to pack it too tight that the air cannot circulate easily from shelf to shelf. It is not good to pack your refrigerator full to the brim with food, as air circulation may become limited.
Organize your fridge, or remove some foods that may block airflow and keep your cooler from cooling. Find vents both in the freezer section and in the fridge and clear anything that might block it.

Insufficient room could be heating up the compressor, which could shut the refrigerator down.
A fridge with lower-grade refrigerant cannot achieve a lower temperature than that set by the Cold Control dial. When your fridge is not staying cold, you must immediately fix the issue in order to prevent perishables from spoiling.
