I thought this would be a great article on the site, "trouble shooting tips". I have added the most useful tips to help you fix and maintain your fridge that I could find.
1. If you're refrigerator isn't working there are a few things you can check
- First off check the power. You should check to see if the receptacle is working properly, use a circuit tester for this. If the receptacle doesn't’t work, check for a tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse.
- Other problems that could be associated with a fridge not working include, an electrical cord that is damaged.
2. If the refrigerators interior lights don't work these could be some of the problems
- check to see if the bulb is burnt out, I'm sure you already checked that but just in case you didn't go check it.
- test to see if the door switch is working properly.
3. I had a problem with my fridge always running
- the first thing I did was check the seals around the doors
- second thing to do is check the door switch, if the switch doesn't work then your fridge will run continuously
- you can also clean the dust that is attached to the condenser coils at the back of the unit. Condenser coils can't cool properly if they are dirty.
- also try defrosting your freezer.
4. Water inside the fridge?
- the drain tube might be clogged, you can fix this by unclogging the drain system. Make to unplug the refrigerator before doing any work.
5. The fridge doesn't cool enough
- the first and easiest thing for you to do is check to see if the temperature setting is cold enough
- make sure than the fridge isn't overly stuffed, there needs to be adequate air flow inside the refrigerator for it to cool properly.
- make sure to see that the following are working properly, door switch, defrost heater, defrost timer, evaporator fan
- Make sure to that the door seals are sealing properly
6. Noisy refrigerator, check these possible problems
- make sure that your unit is level, if it isn't this could be the problem.
- check to see if the drain pan is draining properly, if it isn't you will need to clean.
- check the see that the condenser fan works, if it doesn't you should clean the dust off if it
