Refrigerator is warm on the inside

Leave it off for 24 hours. Clean out the water and start it up again.

Hi,

Many times a freezer and/or refrigerator do not work right because of a dirty condenser coil...there are also many other things that can go wrong.

you hit the nail on the head there,,,its the thermostat its dead!
change it they often stick in the on poshion when they stop working to save any food inside of the fridge

Unplug the unit then turn the thermostat all the way on then all the way off, then slowly move from off to fully on position do you notice a spring popping sound at a certain point? Yes No? if yes turn it all the way off and wait ten minutes then plug back on, notice if the compressor comes on or not. If it does then turn the thermostat to half way on does it cool now? if yes you have the problem solved, if not you have an issue with the defrost circuit and you need tools to test it, if you have an ohm meter let me know and I will help you further. Thanks for using fix-ya

Was your fridge transported upright at all times? There are warnings on most brands not to lay them down due to potential damage. If that was not the case, those small units are often easy to repair.

[Note to garing: The person said there was no ice anywhere but on the back. Dorm sized refridgerators are rarely frost free, so your answer was pointless.]

no 1 setting is close to zero degrees C the setting should be around 4 for normal every day use
call a technician to fix /replace the thermostat
if you continue to use a metal object ( screw driver , knife, fort etc ) when defrosting , you problems with the fridge will soon be over as you will puncture the evaporator section and that is not repairable so you will require a new unit

Ok, this unit will need a recharge asap. this is the result of a low-refrigerant state.

The click you heard is the thermal overload. This snaps open when the compressor is too hot.
Unplug the unit for 24 hours and don't move it.
Then plug it in and see if it comes back on temp.

yes but would cost $100-$150 maybe more that a new frig dan
