Fridge & Freezer Diagnosis (the right way)
Cooling problems can look the same from the outside. Diagnosis tells us whether it’s a fan/airflow issue, a defrost problem, a control issue, or something deeper.

Food Safety Quick Notes
Temperature targets
Refrigerator at or below 40°F, freezer at 0°F helps keep food safe.
Airflow matters
Overpacking and blocked vents can create warm zones even if the unit “seems” to run.
Coils & filters
Dirty condenser coils and overdue water filters can cause performance issues and strain.
