Refrigerator Freezer Not Cooling, but Compressor Is Running

[@jasonramsingh9947]

Try this to get the freezer working again. I have an LG Top-Bottom Fridge that was having the same trouble. Compressor and exterior fan were working fine but the freezer was not cooling. I removed the front interior trim of the freezer and saw that the evaporator fan was not working. I carefully unscrewed it from the housing frame behind the trim and checked the resistance and continuity on the wire connector which were excellent. Now I've seen repairmen who would just tell you to replace the fan but at that time of day that was not an option. Having done this before with a standing fan, I realised that all this fan wanted was a cleaning and lubricating of the magnets and impeller respectively. Eventually over time with these two there is a build up of dirt, and rust in some cases, which must be cleaned and so here is where WD 40 is your best friend. I used some of this on a paper napkin to wipe the two surfaces after which I used some treadmill silicone oil, you can use something similar, on the curved surface of the impeller as well as the shaft and end joint housing. I reinstalled the evap fan and plugged it in. Not only did it spin, but it spun faster than before. Also, make sure you clean the plastic fan blade which should just pop off the impeller shaft. I placed mine under the faucet and used some dishwashing soap. Hope this tip helps someone to save some time and money. 😀

It is illegal to let refrigerant out to the atmosphere it destroys the ozone layer . It has to be recovered properly

[@forevertechenglish]

Yep You are right, but the people in some regions don't do these practices.

[@angeladekock5665]

Oh please...do your maths....

[@forevertechenglish]

@@angeladekock5665 In some part of the Asia, as you now they are under developing countries, the refrigerant recovery machines cost much higher then in the west. The techs can't afford it. Because I have seen it myself. But using a recovery machine is the best, as I know putting the refrigerant in the air destroys the ozone layer. This is how people do it in aisa. Hope They stop doing this practice

My Maytag is shwing the similar symptom. Right before it was no longer working, I noticed the gas dark smoke spreaded inside of house. Is it worth to repair or just buy new one?

[@MorganGiles-n4d]

Buy a new one i would charge you around 7 to 8 hundred dollars to fix it if it is an old model the refrigerant like R22 is really expensive and to switch refrigerants costs even more

Is it possible to put a danfoss compressor in the everchill 12 volt 11 cu ft fridge

[@ScrewBot]

Bhai at the time stamp of 6:30 u created a drier filter system to charge gas. Can we use this to charge R410a gas also? I liked the 4 drier system so that moisture is eliminated. Can you make a video on how to make this drier system? Or we just add 4 drier filter in series and have 2 NRV at both ends? Also can we install 2 drier filter in series to the fridge? Will that help? In your other video u added a fan to the condensor coil. Can i place a fan to cool the compressor directly. Will it help? Thank you.

NEVER cut the line like he does at 2:20. That is an easy $10,000 EPA fine in the United States. Not to mention you just released that gas into a customer's home. If they get sick from it, you are getting sued as well.

When my refrigerator is plugged into the electrical outlet behind the fridge, the fridge starts up, runs a few minutes and then the compressor shuts down. I change plugs on the same outlet, same thing. I take an extension cord and plug the fridge into an outlet in another room in the house, and the refrigerator works fine. I tried going to the electrical box and resetting the power and the outlet behind the fridge worked about 15 minutes and then the condenser shut down. Why would the fridge work fine using another electrical outlet in the house? Thank you.

[@taimoorshah8230]

check your cables. they might be faulty. or outlet is short, you might need a new outlet for your refrigerator.

My Kenmore top freeze refrigerator does not cool. Fan works but excess ice on the freezer coil blocks the air vents and air flow to the fridge is not present. How can I solve this problem.

[@forevertechenglish]

Check the defrost is working fine or not.

[@forevertechenglish]

Also check whether the compressor keeps running, as it should trip after getting to max temperature set on the thermostat. If it keep running check the thermostat.

[@RicoBeenSuave1]

lol 😂, buy a new one. Too much work. A repair man charge to come out and will charge for the parts too. Between labor and parts was about 600 dollars. I bought a brand new refrigerator for 800 on sale. New model has better energy efficiency and looks better than the old refrigerator that goes through wear and tear.

[@forevertechenglish]

Well not here it cost less, because rate are low here.

[@RicoBeenSuave1]

@@forevertechenglish The rate of the repair man or the cost of the parts ? The problem with fixing old equipment is that something else will go bad and the cost will start to pile up. I fix a plasma tv once ? It was a mistake because every couple of years new advances are introduced into the market.

[@tbone6354]

A very helpful tip to extend the life of the compressor is to add 50ml of sulphuric acid to the compressor before regassing. This reduces corrosion

[@forevertechenglish]

Adding sulfuric acid to a refrigerator compressor is extremely dangerous and should never be done. Sulfuric acid is highly corrosive and can cause severe damage to the compressor and other components, leading to leaks, malfunctions, and potentially hazardous situations

[@blockheadivthewise7950]

It is just better just to buy a new fridge. Labor and parts costs are too high (probably a few hundred dollars) and there is a probability that the problem will recur This is the tragedy of American labor uncompetitiveness. Cars and AC are worth repairing.
