All of the cooling in refrigerators is normally done in the freezer compartment. A fan circulates cold air from the freezer into the refrigerator compartment to cool it. Most likely this fan has quit working.
Depending on what type of unit you are asking about, top mount or side by side there are many different problems to look for. If top mount check for freezer fan running, and frost build up on rear panel. If fan not running no air flow, or frost on panel then you may have a fan or defrost failure. If side by side check that the condenser fan in back of unit is running, and condenser for heavy build up of lint. This can also happen to top mounts but is very rare, it may be worth a look.
If unit is frost free is fan in freezer running, if so is there frost built up on rear panel of freezer. If frost found it could be defrost failure. If frig side is staying cool but unit will not freeze you may have a system leak or compressor going bad. If so if unit is out of warranty get a new unit.
Try vacuuming out the back and underneath...give it 24 hours and see if it starts cooling..
they usually have a separate thermostat for each. One of them is prob. broken or has a short.
If your fridge would not start, but the freezer works just fine, check its back-wall for traces of frost, or the condenser coils for dust blockage.
my freezer not working fridge is
refrigerator not cooling, but freezer is still freezing, what could cause this
You could keep it in a freezer.
its not always at the bottom its just the way yours is made some other people have asked why is it at the TOP of the refrigerator so my answer is that its just a selective spot depending on what fridge you have. In fact, the majority of refrigerator/freezer combinations have the freezer on top. As mentioned in other posts, hot air rises and cold air sinks, so freezer-on-top models can transfer cold air to the refrigerator without using as much electricity as other models, making freezer-on-top models the most energy efficient refrigerators (generally speaking) that you can buy.
To stop a refrigerator baffle from seizing up, one could try defrosting the freezer. The baffle can be adjusted to make a refrigerator warmer or cooler, so changing the settings could have a positive effect.
Sand will not freeze. Sand is already a solid, and so is already frozen. If you were to melt sand by heating it up more than 1700°C, you could then "freeze it" by putting it in the freezer. If it looks like sand is freezing in the freezer, it is because there is still water inside the sand that is freezing, and making the sand look like it's freezing together.
A refrigerator is a noun and as such will not have an opposite. However, if you refrigerate something, the antonym would be to cook or heat.A refrigerator is something that cools things. An opposite could be a freezer which freezes things or a heater which heats things.
I doubt you could even give it away.
One possible reason is because of the size of the freezer compared to the size of the refrigerator portion. If the refrigerator portion were placed over the freezer, then you would have to kneel down to use the freezer. Another part of it could pertain to convection. Cold air tends to circulate down. So with the right amount of gap between the freezer portion and the rest, just enough cold air can flow down to cool the refrigerator. So the evaporator coils are only in the freezer and yet can cool the entire unit. If the evaporator coils were on the bottom, then only the lower portion of the refrigerator would be cool since heat rises, and some of the cavity space would be wasted. So for simplicity and efficiency, the coils are placed on top and that this area is made the freezer. So they cool only the freezer and have a small opening to let the cold air come down (or warm air to come up to be more accurate) to reach the 34-38 degrees Fahrenheit needed for the refrigerator. Sometimes there is an adjustable damper there. The thermostat is just for the refrigerator in most cases, since if the refrigerator is within proper range, the freezer would be too, all because of the design. On those with a control for the freezer, that control generally moves a little damper (door). So the colder you set the freezer, the harder you are making the refrigerator portion to cool. Since the actual thermostat is located in the refrigerator section, the longer the compressor must run to make that compartment the proper temperature when you close the damper (by setting the freezer control colder).
No, you should not leave the goo alien in the freezer with the goo. Freezing the goo could damage it and possibly alter its texture or properties. It's best to remove the goo from the alien before placing it in the freezer.
This is easy to answer. You must have many things in a kitchen in order to keep all of the food you have fresh and cooked properly. What you need is: refrigerator stove sink dishwasher freezer pantry/food closet cabinets counter These are all the things you NEED. Although the refrigerator and the freezer could be maybe in your garage, or basement. As long as you have it!
A cause of fruit flies getting into your freezer ice machine could be because they are attracted to the drip pan under the refrigerator. Chances are they traveled through the water line.
You may have a faulty defrost timer. This is generally a small plug in unit at the lower front under the fridge. If you have a vent grill, take if off and look, if you see a small black unit about half the size of a cell phone, with a wireloom containing 3-5 wires, that could be it. Unplug it and take to a good appliance parts store. -I've found this to be the commonest problem of not cooling properly, although there may be other issues.
