[@BrutalistCanoodlist]

It was a job in itself to clear my apt so my frig had room to be pulled out. But pull it out I did, and--dustpan & brush in hand--I pulled its plug. Then I got to cleaning the dust bunnies off the floor, as well as the dust off the frig, its cords, the walls, and ran a wet cloth on the floor. Man did it pick up dirt! Fortunately there were no dead mice. OK so now that my 5 minutes had passed, I plugged it back in. And, voila! The machine went to town working again. Whoo hoo! Thanks for repair 'splaining BlvdHome!

Yup. It doesn't matter how old this video is, but I just recovered my 2018 Kenmore side by side. Arrived home and lost everything all my food. Called the repair companies and no one wants to come out to the white mountains in NH. I thought I had to buy a new fridge. Figured the previous owners installed the fridge over a hydro toe kick and heat is the enemy to the control panels.

[@jasonramsingh9947]

Try this to get the freezer working again. I have an LG Top-Bottom Fridge that was having similar 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. 😀

[@sodade21]

your fan was stacked? when you moved it with hand it was hard to turn the fan? because mine seem to turn by hand normally.. the refridge working fine. the motor back sound is ok the back fan working. but at the Freezer i dont hear or feel any air and it can only reach down to 19 celcius... so i think it might be the internal fan not working well because of what you said or the motherboard it turned bad and some component or all need to be replaced..

[@koalamama2]

For me my freezer fan was burnt out. There was a little poof of soot above it.

[@giftchiposha]

Thank you very much you helped diagnose my fridge be able to convince my landlod that I knew what I was talking about. He sent a fridge repair person who found a bigger problem and fixed it. Thank you

[@floweringplumb4678]

Hi Thank you for the information in the video. My Maytag was not cooling in the refrigerator and the freezer sections. I followed your recommendations. I unplugged the refrigerator for 5 minutes and I think that resetting the computer board may have been enough for a positive response as the sound from the fans running could be heard. Had to listen closely as they are quiet but before the reset there was absolute silence. I will be giving time for the cooling process to take hold. Just in case, I have a call into the appliance repair service. Selling house and the appliances have to be in working order so no time to waste.

[@girlsixdiva]

How long did it take the control panel to come back on after you plugged it back in? I'm having the same issue.

[@ElectronicBarta]

great advice. thanks for sharing. but the one question, if the fan is not running, how can it change?

[@KEEVVY]

SERVICE RECOMANDATION: Let it defrost 1-2days, you need a second fridge but it works, this is for all new models, specialy no frost ones, if freezer is working but fridge temps are up, this might save a trip to service, also for summer better set temps 4 , -19

[@amandagrose5215]

@@Glo2GoSprayTan_danielle My Liebherr already out of warranty last year, since the service guy came worked until this summer, than try defrost it for half a day and didn't work, so had to move again everything in another fridge & leave it for ~2 days with all doors open, working ok now, but it's very annoying for some one that doesn't have a second freezer to move the food.

[@Glo2GoSprayTan_danielle]

@@KEEVVY please keep me updated I don’t know how the freezer works. The fridge is reading 58 now. When I unplugged it for a day ( after all my food was ruined in the fridge) it worked perfectly for like a week.

[@Vladimir9857]

Thank you for sharing that info. Much appreciate.

[@deborahreed7101]

Very helpful. To the point without amateur fluff. TY

[@midwestblondie]

It's very important to keep your appliances at the proper temperatures. Keep the refrigerator temperature at or below 40° F (4° C). The freezer temperature should be 0° F (-18° C). Check temperatures periodically. If the temperatures aren't kept at the proper settings the more chance Listeria, a bacterium that causes foodborne illness, can grow, especially if the refrigerator temperature is above the safe temperature. Thermometers are the best way of knowing these temperatures and are generally inexpensive.

[@sarojrana3796]

Sir I have same problem as your reply how to resolve it

[@Wesmancan]

So why have a thermostat inside fridge.

[@sylviacarlson3561]

I have an LG fridge and the temperature says it's at 37F, but it is clearly not cold enough inside. It's not warm, but not as cold as it should be. I have noticed that one of the vents inside the fridge does not have any air coming from it, white the other does.

[@raidrfrk]

​@Wesmancan you can adjust but it does effect the life

[@sylviacarlson3561]

my fridge says it's at 37 degrees and the freezer is at zero. I have Almond milk that should have lasted until the end of October and it's already gone bad. I had a guy come out,which he was glad to do for $99. He said what the part was that I needed, but when I ordered it and was ready to put it in, I realized it was the wrong part! I told the technician, but he never responded. No ethics these days.

[@showandgo]

Old is gold, while new fridge or any appliances with too many functions are garbage. I have 20 year fridge in my garage working fine in harsh conditions, meanwhile a 4 years fridge with all the bells and whistles is struggling to keep it cool. But great video that k you.

Thank you for telling people about cleaning the condenser coil! 🫡

[@nonwo76]

Thanks for the insight! My fridge is a side by side (exact one in the video), and it is at 45ish, but the middle divider that the doors suction to has a surface temp of 124°. What could that be, and is it dangerous? We're unplugging and cleaning vents now, but I think it's a different issue with the door divider being so hot. Thanks!

[@dricks-by3jc]

Thanks for your help. I remember the power chord and waited 5 minutes just like you said and it came on . Thank you

[@PursueTheExcellence]

Efficiently explained!! But what makes the compressor get too hot??

[@kristychang8496]

Very helpful tips and tricks. Thank you. My fridge is cooling well but it is making a loud noise. Could you let me know why I am getting the loud noise off and on from the fridge

[@BoulevardHome]

Sorry to hear about your noise! It's hard to say without seeing your fridge, but there is a chance that it's just a noise the fridge is meant to make. They tend to be really loud appliances. Sometimes in the owners manual manufacturers will list some noises that you can expect to hear, so you can check to see if it is a normal noise. It could be something like the ice maker making ice.

[@maileevyne5000]

[@sylviacarlson3561]

This was very helpful. I put my hand on two of the vents in my LG fridge (located on the left hand side) and the top one I don't feel any air coming out of, the bottom one has very cool air. My refrigerator is not cooling properly. I've done all that you suggested too. Any more suggestions? I have discovered that very few companies repair LG refrigerators. Oh! Joy! I called LG and they gave me a few to call that are far away from my home. I wish it were easier.

[@lapis9749]

I despise my LG refrigerator. Ice machine broke within a year. Compressor broke within 3&1/2 years. Under warranty however there was only one repair shop that serviced that warranty. Appointments for just looking at it were two weeks out. Then it would be another two weeks before they actually repaired it. Had to pay $380 out of pocket so I didn’t have to wait a MONTH to have my fridge fixed. I will never buy anything, especially appliances, with the LG brand on it again. Plus the damn sales man at the store sold me one too big for my space for it and I couldn’t exchange it without paying MORE for a smaller fridge.🤬 Edit: LG also gave me two listings that were repair shops two or more hours away, obviously they don’t service my area and basically laughed at me when I called. Edit #2: and yes I’m here looking for solutions to my fridge and freezer not cooling enough. Four years since the compressor was replaced.

[@coleadero39]

Try to changed #1 the thermostat, its located behind the back pannel #2 check the heat element me sure it has conduit. Test them with a voltmeter you can get one at harborfright, a 20 voltmeter bucks will do it, set it to omms , it should drop down to 0.0 that means it has conduit. Same thing with the thermostat. It the thermostat works but its not defrosting its because the heater element its broken, the thermostat it will tell the heater element to Start defrosting, when the element its good but the thermostat isn't working is not sending signal to the heater element usually happens every 6 hours the defrosting cycle, when is not defrosting the coil get clogged of frost blocking the air flow to chill the entire frege, good luck hope this will help you to fix the problem. A good thing is that the freezer works so thats a plus.

[@mark98115]

@lapis9749, Just FYI, LG's old name was Gold Star. Those old enough to remember the 1980s and early 1990s will remember that name. Gold Star was one of the few Asian companies that sold low quality electronics in the USA. Their quality is much better today but their customer service is still poor. Samsung is not any better.

What would be the cause of the freezer is working, but just not the other compartment?

I realize this is an old comment but my guess would be that you have a dual evaporator fan setup and that the fridge fan is not working.

[@JebacPresretac101]

In my case it was fixed by a thermostat change.

[@aeg100]

Comprehensive explanation = Thank you! I'm trainable, so following your instructions helps me help myself. If you had a phone or chat, a "hotline" (charge by call or by a minute or another time frame), that would be helpful too. My two refrigs are nearly identical models both 17 cu ft; one Amana one Whirlpool = interchangeable shelves, door compartments, etc. The Amana is older by about 5-6 years and is located in garage, the new Whirlpool is located in kitchen; keep up your good work. I'm in metro Boston, MA area, it appears you are located in Utah. so remote communication is essential.

I''m afraid all the frig food will spoil. Any ideas before we call repairman? The vents in the back of the unit are clean and there's not much on the shelves.

I am experiencing a similar issue. How was your problem resolved?

[@pieror.pinatelli1341]

Same dude! How did you fix it?

​@@pieror.pinatelli1341did you fix it? Same thing happened to me today 😢

[@pieror.pinatelli1341]

@@sunnyBLR I replaced the start relay and cleaned the fans and coils. It worked for a week and went out again. I always had issues with that fridge since the day I got it. I got tired of it and bought a whirlpool, I had those at my previous home for years and never had issues.

@@pieror.pinatelli1341 oh no. I might have to do the same. Thanks

Will too much food in the the side door freezer effect how cool the refrigerator gets ?

[@BoulevardHome]

No it should not affect how cool the refrigerator gets. Generally you see cooling issues when the refrigerator side is overfilled but not the reverse like you’re saying.

I have a 2016 LG French Door Refrigerator. And it is not cooling and barely keeping items frozen. Is it worth the money of $550US to have LG service person come out and fix OR take that money and put it towards a new Refrigerator? Or should I have it serviced and save up for a new fridge when it does fail again, hopefully when there's a sale going on.

GE refrigerator not cooling. Checked and cleaned coils(dirty but not really clogged), fan is working -not stalling, condensor motor is working- can feel it vibrating, freezer is cold but could be colder, unplugged for good 20 minutes checking everything. Still same problem.

Hii have a hitachi two door (freezer on top) and freezer is dripping. Tech guy says the swivel hole of lower large door is frayed so its not shutting fully and hitachi only changes doors. The door is not kind of shutting with a spring action. Do you think this could be the issue or something as easy as drain hole clogging in the freezer area?
