Is your fridge running but everything inside still feels warm?
You’re definitely not the only one asking, “Why isn’t my refrigerator cooling like it should?” It’s one of the most common – and most frustrating – problems out there. Spoiled food, wasted money, and that sinking feeling when you realize your groceries are going bad.
At GDoing Appliance Repair, we deal with this all the time – and we know how to fix it fast. Our experienced techs are pros at finding the real issue and fixing it right the first time, so you don’t have to worry about it breaking down again anytime soon.
Common Reasons Your Refrigerator Isn’t Cooling
There are several potential causes behind a refrigerator that won’t stay cold. Some of the most common include:
- Dirty Condenser Coils
Over time, dust and grime can build up on condenser coils, preventing your fridge from cooling efficiently. A simple cleaning may restore performance. - Faulty Evaporator Fan
This fan circulates cold air through your fridge and freezer. If it fails, cold air won’t distribute evenly – or at all. - Broken Thermostat
A malfunctioning thermostat can misread the internal temperature, shutting off the cooling system too soon. - Failed Start Relay or Compressor Issues
If the compressor doesn’t kick in, the refrigerator can’t cool. These problems often stem from a failed relay or capacitor. - Ice Buildup on Evaporator Coils
In frost-free models, a defrost system failure can cause frost to block airflow, reducing cooling power.
Diagnosing these problems accurately often requires experience and tools. That’s why it’s best to call in professionals like GDoing Appliance Repair to identify and fix the issue correctly – the first time.
Signs You Need Refrigerator Repair
Besides food not staying cold, here are other signs your fridge may need repair:
- Food spoils quickly or unevenly
- Freezer or fridge feels warm
- Loud or unusual noises (buzzing, clicking, etc.)
- Water leaks or visible condensation
- Ice maker isn’t working properly
- Fridge light works, but the cooling doesn’t
If you notice any of these symptoms, don’t wait – unresolved cooling problems can lead to more expensive repairs down the road.
Repair or Replace? What’s the Right Choice?
Not sure whether to fix your fridge or start shopping for a new one? You’re not alone – it’s a tough call many homeowners face. The good news? In many cases, a professional repair is the smarter, more budget-friendly option, especially if your refrigerator is less than 10 years old and hasn’t had a history of issues.
But there are times when replacing might actually save you money (and headaches) in the long run. For example, if:
- Your fridge keeps breaking down every few months
- It’s more than 10–15 years old
- It uses outdated technology or coolant (like R-22 Freon)
- It’s racking up high electricity bills
- Replacement parts are rare or expensive
We’re here to help you make the best choice for your home, your family, and your wallet.
