Guides for a fridge that is not cooling, freezing food, leaking water, making a noise, tripping the power or not cooling but the freezer works.
Why Is My Fridge Not Cooling?
A fridge that isn't cooling can have several causes: an incorrect temperature setting, blocked airflow, a door that isn't sealing, dirty condenser components, a fan problem, excessive frost, a defrost system fault, a faulty sensor, a compressor problem, or a refrigeration system fault. Basic external checks, settings, airflow, the door seal, can sometimes solve a simple problem.
Why Is My Fridge Freezing Food?
A fridge freezes food when the compartment drops below 0 °C or food sits against the coldest surface. Check the temperature setting first.
Why Is My Fridge Leaking Water?
A fridge leaks water most often because the defrost drain hole is blocked, so defrost water runs into the fridge and onto the floor. Other causes are a forward lean, a leaking door seal, a cracked drip tray and a leaking water tank.
Why Is My Fridge Making a Noise?
Most fridge noise comes from the compressor, a fan or a loose part. Gurgling water sounds and a steady low hum are normal.
Why Is My Fridge Tripping the Power?
A fridge trips the power when current leaks to earth or the circuit is overloaded. You can check the plug point, the cord and the plug.
Fridge Not Cooling but Freezer Works: Causes and Fixes
A fridge that is not cooling while the freezer works usually has an airflow fault. The cold is made in the freezer and blown into the fridge.
