New Frig Won't Cool

notify shipper and amazon this is fixya your on wrong site

May be out of gas, or low on gas. Can you hear the unit running when you power it up?
May want to check on the overload unit to see if it is ok

Is the compressor running? If so, feel the discharge line is the line cold? If not the unit is probably out of Freon, which means it will have a leak somewhere in the system.

So lets start with this do you hear any clicking noises coming from behind the frig? Can you hear the fan running in the freezer? Does the frig cool at all?

Hi,
Here is a tip that I wrote about the reasons why the sides and/or seals couldbe getting hot on your refrigerator.

Suggest you do a 12 hour defrost then re switch on. most of the time excess ice is the problem.

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Be aware removing the feet and or wheels will make moving it even empty likely to damage the floor. A better option might be to remove flooring if possible. A quarter inch is not much and maybe the cabinets could be trimmed?

clean condenser unplug let compressor cool to reset may be 1 hour. Tom

You are setting your fresh foods side to 34 but the display will go back to showing the actual temp. It is still set at 34. The refrig should be able to reach the 34 setting, so although 40 is an OK temp for a refrig, it is not what you set it to and you are definitely having a problem with the unit. Instead of starting to go through a long list of checks, I would advise you to call for warranty service, as the unit is only 3 months old.
Please don't bother rating this solution, as anything but a FixYa will lower my score. Thanks.

Yes it can. a short in the windings will cause a relay to fail. let me know if you want to make sure it is a compressor
