Fridge not cooling? 5 things to check before you call
A warm fridge feels like an emergency. Start with these simple checks.
Check the thermostat setting
It sounds obvious, but settings get bumped. Fridge should be 37°F, freezer 0°F.
Clean the condenser coils
Dusty coils make the fridge work harder and cool less. Vacuum them once a year.
Tip: If the freezer is cold but the fridge is warm, it's often the evaporator fan or a defrost problem — call us.
