Why is my refrigerator not getting cold enough?
Be sure the fridge is plugged in and getting power. Be sure the vents on the back of the freezer compartment aren’t blocked by boxes of ice cream or frozen vegetables—the vents have to be clear for cold air to circulate. Vacuum the coils under or behind the fridge. Clogged coils can cause poor cooling.
Why is my fridge temp going up?
Dirty, dusty, or blocked compressor coils will cause your fridge’s temperature to fluctuate wildly. They need to stay clean to let the heat escape, or it just circulates back into the fridge. Cleaning compressor coils is easy: Unplug your fridge and move it away from the wall so you can get to the coils.
Why is my ge refrigerator not cold enough?
I have an 8 year old GE side by side and recently noticed the fridge won’t get colder than 48 degrees with the setting on coldest. I have done the following: Cleaned condenser coils, checked evaporator fan (working), checked condenser fan (working). Also, checked the compressor, warm-ish to the touch but not hot.
What should I do if my refridgerator is not working?
Unplug the refrigerator. Mark the wires so you know where they go into the switch. Take out the switch and tube. Go to an appliance parts store with the switch and tube and the model and serial number of the refrigerator and get a new part.
Why is my freezer not getting below 40 degrees?
The compressor is running, the condenser and evaporator fans are running. I cleaned the condenser cools and temperature in the freezer still won’t get below 40 degrees. There is a little bit of frost on evaporator coil, but it is not frozen over. Any ideas what else I can look for? Is this a good question?
How long does a refrigerator stay cold with no power?
Obviously, the more you open and close your refrigerator, the more cold air will escape, but if you don’t open it at all, how much time do you have before your food begins to spoil? The USDA says that the average refrigerator will stay cold for only about four hours without power, if the doors remain closed.

What causes a refrigerator to freeze on the lowest setting?
If your refrigerator compartment freezes its contents, even when the cold control is set to its lowest setting, the problem is likely to be a defective refrigerator temperature sensor or cold control. You can check the temperature with a refrigerator thermometer.
