Most fridges have a cooling vent above or on the side of the top shelf. This is where most of the cold air comes from, so keeping food away from here may preventfreezing. ... Some side-by-side refrigerators (particularly older models) feature a vent that funnels cold air from the freezer into the fridge.4 Aug 2015
check ur thermistors in fridge and freezer, check ur defrost terminator and defrost timer. However is the freezer freezing too? if so I would suspect the terminator. if not check ur air flow vent and knob assembly as the vent may be closed to far or opened to far? the settings on the air flow and cold control thermostat should never both be set on high the middle is a good setting
Hello. On some refrigerators there are vent holes that allow colder air from the freezer compartment to be vented to certain areas in the fridge. Look and see if there are any vents like this on your fridge, If so you can control the amount of cold air entering by sliding the door open or closed on the vent. If there is a vent but the cover is broken or missing you can cover the hole to reduce the freezing air entering the fridge.
haha just messing. If you have the smell of anti freeze coming through the vents it means that the heater core needs to be replaced. The heater core cycles the hot engine coolant and uses that to warm the air to give you hot air. If you can smell it it is leaking into the vent system and needs to be replaced.
Behind the back wall of the freezer about halfway down, probably behind the light bulb (if there is one there) there is a fan. My guess is that the fan isn't working, or is slow. To test, open the freezer door, then hold the door switch closed and listen for the fan.
This fan should be blowing air up the back of the freezer, and send some of the cold air through a vent at the top of the freezer into the fridge. The air then descends through the fridge and reenters the freezer through a vent at the bottom. If the fan is broken, or if the upper vent is somehow blocked or broken, the cold air will enter (rather than exit) the fridge side at the bottom vent. Because cold air tends to descend and warm air rises, the cold air will freeze the stuff at the bottom of the fridge, and the thermostat (at the top of the fridge) will say it is warm.
Check your filter and make sure you have one in place and it is clean. This is either a low inside airflow problem or system is low on freon. If you have strong air flow from vents and filter is been kept clean then low freon is most likely. Run system in on position with cooling off to make sure ice is melted. When water stops draining. then restart system . If it starts frosting up at outside unit shortly after start up it most likely is air flow. If you don't have at least 15 degree drop from registers in a few minutes and indoor humidity is not too high inside and airflow decreases and air gets colder just before it freezes up then it is low freon.
Check to make sure the filter inside the air handler is clean and that no vents are closed or blocked by furnature or rugs. Check the air handler to see if the blower is operating. You could have a belt off, the door switch could be in the open position or something simple like that. If this checks out OK., you will need to have a technician check the charge
