Often, there are malfunctions in the operation of household refrigerators - the freezer is working properly, and the refrigerator has stopped freezing. Insufficient cooling in the main chamber leads to a violation of the temperature balance: the freezer compartment freezes, and in the refrigerator the temperature rises too high. The cooling system is trying to stabilize the temperature. The compressor, which normally stops 3-4 times per hour, runs non-stop resulting in overheating. It is not easy to notice the lack of refrigeration in the refrigerator compartment, and only the unpleasant smell of spoiled food will indicate a problem. There is a simple solution to the problem - deep defrosting, but the effect is temporary: the situation will repeat after 1-2 days. The scenario indicates serious malfunctions in the operation of the structural units of the refrigerator. Let's consider the causes and signs of breakdown in more detail. If your refrigerator does not freeze well, and the freezer works in the same mode, the reasons may be hidden in the following:
- Freon (refrigerant) leak
- capillary blockage
- malfunction of the temperature sensor of the refrigerator compartment
- compressor breakdown
When your GE refrigerator is not cooling, another thing to check is the condenser fan. This Condenser motor fan helps keep the refrigerant coils cool and improves efficiency. It also prevents the fridge from being too warm inside. If one of the fan motors is not functioning properly, the refrigerator will not cool correctly. One fan is located on the back of the refrigerator near the condenser coils and must be running anytime the condenser is running. The other is the evaporator fan motor that circulates the cold air. If this fan doesn't come on when the door of the refrigerator is left on for around three minutes, the motor needs to be replaced.
