GE Monogram Refrigerator Not Cooling (FIXED)

It is a common situation for many old GE Monogram refrigerators to become not cold enough. Start checking with the condenser coils. Most likely they’ve got dirty with the time. There are coils located under or behind the fridge that cool and condense the refrigerant. Sometimes so much dust or dirt collects on these coils that the heat can no longer be released efficiently, and it winds up in your fridge instead. Clean off the debris with a handheld vacuum or special refrigerator coil brush and see if that resolves the problem. The condenser fan might be defective as well. The condenser fan is situated in a cabinet at the bottom of the fridge, near the compressor and condenser coils (note that fridge models with the coils on the back instead of the bottom won’t have a fan). The fan’s job is to keep the compressor and coils cool, so if it breaks down, the fridge will begin to heat up. Check to see if dust or debris is present on the fan blades (which would keep them from spinning properly), and if so, gently wipe the blades clean with a towel. If the blades don’t rotate at all, the fan’s motor may need to be replaced. There’s another set of coils, called the evaporator coils, in a panel behind the freezer. Refrigerant runs through these coils and turns into gas, making them cold. The evaporator fan’s job is to draw the cool air from these coils to circulate throughout the entire unit - first through the freezer and then the refrigerator (or fresh food compartment). If the evaporator fan motor is broken, then cool air won’t circulate properly. Sometimes you wind up with a freezer that’s still pretty cold , but a fresh food compartment that isn’t cold at all. If the evaporator fan is the problem, you’ll likely need to replace the fan’s motor. Give us a call ASAP to track the origins of the issue and eliminate them fast!
