When the compressor is running, two fans should be running. One inside the freezer compartment that moves air over the evaporator coils. The other is under/behind the fridge that cools the condenser coils.

If the fan on the condenser coil (the one under/behind the fridge) stops working, the system cannot dissipate the heat from those coils, and thus cannot sufficiently cool the inside of either the freezer nor fresh food compartment.

On mine, when the condenser fan failed, I noticed right away. The front face of the wall separating the compartments became very hot. Extremely hot.

Apparently the refrigeration system is designed so that waste heat keeps condensation from forming where the magnetic gaskets on the door need to seal. When the condenser fan failed, there was too much waste heat (because no heat was being dissipated from the condenser coils by the fan), thus making that gasket-sealing area very hot.

If it is your condenser coil fan, you can relieve the problem temporarily by removing the bottom back panel from the fridge and aiming a box fan (a regular room or window fan) at the condenser coils. This will circulate air over the coils, thus removing heat from the coils.

LG freezer not freezing, thoughts?

Condenser Coils clean or Evaporator Coils clean?

An iced up evaporator coil can cause a freezer not to freeze goods. That is caused by a failed defrost timer or a failed defrost heater.

Or it needs gas topping up.

If my refrigerator gets hot and stays hot is my defrost staying on

Not likely. When the defrost timer fails, it normally doesn't work at all, so the evaporator freezes into a solid lump and doesn't let cold air pass through the fins.

Or your circulating fan might have failed, or you need refrigerant gas.

If it is actually heating up, like 65'F to 85'F it is gas that is needed.

Bottom of freezer freezing bottom of frig cooling top of freezer and top of frig not cooling or freezing

I'm thinking you have a Bad fan. Not circulating air? You should hear the fan running when you open the door.

FRS26R4CB0-Freezer not freezing and Fridge not getting Cool

Hi Candi,

I don't know this model but most friges are the same,
Check on the bottom back, there should be a radiator with a small fan
installed.

If the fan is not working this maybe your problem,
It is not colling the gas.


You also may have a gas leak or the gas compressor is not working
or starting to work because of a faulty capcacitor.

Samsung rs2630sh not cooling or freezing

If it has fan to deliver cold air, and it is not working, cold air is stuck on the begining. So your fan could be dead. And I suppose, that compressor is running all the time. Even compressor could stert freezing if fan does not deliver cold air in fridge. The other option is, that there is not enough gas in the compressor. In this case compressor vould not be freezing, but line, going out of compressor has to be hot, if it is not, there is no gas.

Goodman Manufacturing co Model ck60-1c serial no 0001496410 , last night my downstairs was coold but my 2nd level was realy hot was not coold air this morning i went outside i found a piece ice on my unit...

If the fan motor on the outside unit is still coming on and the blower motor on the inside unit is still working properly, and your return air is not restricted (sometimes just a dirty filter), then your problem would be the charge in the unit. If over or under charged, the unit will freeze up, not just outside, but inside too. Have someone charge the unit with refrigerant and you should be okay. If any of the other problems exist, it will have to be looked into more. Hope this points you in the right direction. Good Luck!

Refrigerator not freezing

It appears that your thermostat setting is not correct. Please put it on HI cool and then check if the fridge is working OK . The problem could be due to leakage of gas. Please check this If both these fail then get your fridge checked up by a technician as there could be a internal problem. Most likely it is the above 2 problems.

Freezer coils frozen, 27 deg. freezer and 45 deg. fridge.

the problem is most likly to be the freezer gas has lost its "get up and go!" and needs a "re-gas" and if the compressor is running all the time that could also need changing by now

Have a true ttp67 that freezes when turned on after 2-3 hours instead of cooling!

If it was off over night the fan comes on you should feel air coming from the inside vent the condensor fan may be bad or the blade is loose
If you feel air then it freezes it's a Classic example of low freon gas.

Hi my fridge freezes every thing even at it's

your thermostat is bad, what it does it sense the temperature set buy the control setting, once it goes bad it does not recognize the temperature hot or coold and the unit keep running and freezes everything. thermostat work like the therometer switch, when it reach certain temperature it cut off.
