The water inlet valve on the back where the water supply comes in may be stuck open and need replacing.

Sometimes the refr still will not constantly blow cold air just because it is on and does not meet the required temperature that it's set at. In most cases, for a new refr to fully cool down, it takes 24 hrs. Let it sit for at least 6 hours with the doors closed, If it hasn't cooled off then chances are that there's a problem with the compressor. Whatever you do, don't turn up the colder knob just yet. Leave it where it was and see if it cools down, you don't want to overwork the compressor trying to reach that cooler temperature.

If after the refr sits and it still doesn't cool down, chances are you're going to have to call a repair service to come and check it out.

The answer to these questions lies in the way the freezer/fridge combo works. The freezer is where the cooling coils are located. Then air is moved over the coils and circulated through the fridge side by a small blower or fan. The problem arises when the air is not circulated for some reason.

The reasons the air is not moving is usually two reasons

1. The fan or blower has failed.
2. The coil is covered over with ice and blocks the air flow.

The first reason is pretty simple to fix, you simply replace the air circulator and things are good again.
The second reason can be more difficult.
1. The timing device that runs the defrost cycle of the refrigerator is defective.
2. The heater coil that melts the water is shorted or not working

Usually the first thing to check is the heater coil. If there is resistance through the coil then most likely it is still good.
The timing device can be an advanced defrost control board or a mechanical timing device.
If the heater coil checks out to be good then the problem should be the timer.

For most situations, unplugging the refrigerator and allowing it to defrost on it's own will get you going temporarily, till parts can be shipped to you. That will melt the ice and give you a few days or a couple of weeks till it ices up to the point where it will not work again.

So you can see here, the problem can usually be traced to one of three things.

1. The fan or blower
2. The timer device
3. The electric heater coil

By methodically checking these parts you can isolate your problem and fix it.

Take care.

open the freezer and when the drawer stops you can pull from the door and it should roll . make sure that a foor is not set in front to prevent roll out .. mm . different ways to get any frig out depends on the floor its on . wood is easy carpet not so easy and tile has grouves and make's it hard. so just use you head . i use nylon slides to help an carpet and to protect wood floors . some dent easly ....

A refrigerator temperature problem like yours is likely due to one of the following issues. Open the freezer door and listen for the freezer fan, you might have to close the door/light switch to activate the fan. There is a vent at the top of the back wall of freezer, as well as a vent at the top back wall of the fresh food section. Wet your finger and place it in front of either vent and feel for cold air flow. If you dont feel any air flow in the fridge and the freezer fan is running, you will likely have a defrost problem, either the heater, the bi metal t stat, or the defrost control have failed. Any of these will result in frost on freezer back wall. YOu may also have a problem with the damper door in the fridge, again, top back wall, not opening, or on the rare occasion I have seen a slice of wrapped cheese on the floor behind the fresh food crispers covering the warm air return vent to the fridge.

Hi,

check the door hinges a in place:
The door latch and lower hinge pin should hold your refrigerator door in place..
Uncover the door by removing the screws.Take the door off and pack bottom hinge with washers and make sure hinge brackets on cabinet are tight.
Check the seal is clean and pliable:
If seal is gapping, one solution is to warm with a hairdryer and pull outwards gently.
Check the refrigerator is properly leveled:
Adjust the middle hinge to straighten the lower portion of the door. Use a level to ensure the door is flush.

After fitting the door back again,check to see if the seal is touching on all sides when the door is closed. If not, you will need a new seal.Refrigerator is properly leveled.and hinges should be properly placed.

post a comment for further assistance.

Thank you for using fixya have a nice day:-)
