Refrigerator Not Cold Enough in New Port Richey, FL

There are a few things you can do before calling a team of professionals for refrigerator repairs. We recommend checking the following before calling us for repairs:

• Refrigerator Isn’t Plugged In – One of the first things you can do is check to ensure your refrigerator is properly plugged into the electrical outlet.
• Thermostat Is Turned Down – Find your refrigerator's thermostat and ensure it’s set to an appropriate temperature. Side-by-side refrigerators’ thermostats are usually in the back, and over-under refrigerator models usually have thermostats located under the fridge.
• Door Problems – Check to ensure your refrigerator is completely closing and the flexible elastic strips around your door’s edges seal properly. Does the light inside the appliance turn on and off when you close the door? If the doors don’t close or seal properly, warm air can leak inside and keep it from staying cool.
• Air Circulation Issues – If you have a lot of food boxes stacked up inside the fridge, cold air can’t properly circulate. We recommend re-organizing everything to allow air to move freely and keep the inside cool.

Your refrigerator might look like a simple appliance, but there are several parts and components that keep it functioning properly to keep your food fresh. Many things can prevent your fridge from staying cool, and the expert technicians at Mr. Appliance of Pasco County are highly experienced in diagnosing issues with appliances and providing quick, effective, and cost-efficient solutions. Some of the most common parts and issues that can spoil food in your fridge and freezer include the following:

• Compressor – This is rarely the cause of the problem. This part in your refrigerator compresses and pushes refrigerant vapor into your fridge’s coils. This process creates heat that cools and absorbs the heat in your fridge and freezer. If your freezer fan still runs, but the fridge isn’t getting cool, you might have a bad compressor.
• Condenser Coils – If the condenser coils in your refrigerator clog, you could end up with poor air circulation, preventing the appliance from staying cool.
• Condenser Fan – This part of your fridge keeps the condenser coils and compressor cool as they work hard. If the compressor is running, the condenser fan should also be running. Condenser fans can overheat and malfunction, causing the temperature to rise inside the refrigerator.
• Evaporator Fan – This refrigerator part blows cold air inside by pulling air across the evaporator coil, cooling it, and pushing it throughout your freezer and fridge. If your evaporator fan isn’t working, it prevents your fridge from producing cool air.
• Air Damper – This part of your fridge controls the air shared from your freezer to your refrigerator. If your refrigerator is not cooling but freezer is, it might be due to your air damper being unable to properly open and close.
