At Louisville Appliance Repair, we service Whirlpool, GE, Frigidaire, Samsung, LG, KitchenAid, and more throughout Louisville, Canton, Alliance, and Stark County.

Refrigerator Not Cooling? Common Reasons & Fixes

Although many factors can cause poor cooling, several issues appear again and again. For example, dirty condenser coils make the system overheat; failed evaporator or condenser fans block airflow; start relay or compressor problems can stop cooling entirely; and defrost system failures (frequent on some Frigidaire and LG models) cause frost buildup that restricts air movement. In addition, certain Samsung and KitchenAid models may experience control board faults that disrupt the cooling cycle.

• Dirty condenser coils — dust and pet hair reduce heat release; the unit runs but can’t maintain temperature.
• Evaporator fan failure — freezer gets cold but the fresh food section stays warm.
• Condenser fan failure — compressor overheats and short-cycles; little or no cooling.
• Start relay / compressor issues — clicking near the compressor, then silence.
• Defrost failure — frost blankets the evaporator; airflow is blocked.
• Control board faults — irregular cycles, lights on but no cooling.

Troubleshooting a Refrigerator Not Cooling in Louisville, OH

Before you schedule service, try a few safe checks. As a result, you may restore cooling or at least pinpoint the likely cause. If your refrigerator not cooling Louisville OH continues even after these steps, the issue may involve a fan motor or a control board and will need a professional diagnosis:

1. Confirm settings — verify the fridge is set to ~37–40°F and the freezer to ~0–5°F.
2. Power reset — unplug for 3–5 minutes, then plug back in to clear control glitches.
3. Clear space — allow 2–3 inches behind/above the cabinet for ventilation.
4. Clean coils — vacuum dust from coils (beneath or behind), especially with pets.
5. Listen for fans — compressor on but no fan noise often means a failed fan motor.

For safety best practices around appliances and electricity, review guidance from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Refrigerator Not Cooling: When to Call a Professional Repair Service

Even with the steps above, certain symptoms require a technician. For instance, if the freezer is cold while the fresh food section is warm, the evaporator fan or air damper may have failed. Likewise, heavy frost behind the rear freezer panel suggests a defrost system issue. Finally, if you hear repeated compressor clicking, the start relay or compressor could be the culprit—schedule service promptly.
