We offer fast, reliable fridge repair services to restore your appliance’s cooling power.
If your fridge isn’t maintaining the right temperature, it can be frustrating and lead to food spoilage. There are several possible reasons why your fridge isn’t keeping things cold, from a faulty thermostat to a clogged condenser coil or a malfunctioning compressor. In some cases, simple fixes like adjusting the temperature settings or cleaning the coils can help, while other issues may require professional repair.
At Capital Appliance Repair Winnipeg, we specialize in diagnosing and fixing cooling problems quickly, ensuring your fridge gets back to keeping your food fresh and safe.
Dirty condenser coils can reduce your fridge’s ability to cool properly. These coils, located at the back or bottom of the fridge, release heat as the refrigerant cycles through them. When dust and debris build up, they trap heat, forcing the fridge to work harder and making it less efficient. This can lead to higher energy bills and poor cooling performance. Regularly cleaning the condenser coils can help maintain optimal cooling.
A faulty thermostat can prevent your fridge from maintaining the correct temperature. The thermostat controls when the cooling system turns on and off, so if it malfunctions, your fridge may not cool properly or may stop cooling altogether. Signs of a bad thermostat include inconsistent temperatures, excessive cooling, or no cooling at all. If adjusting the temperature settings doesn’t fix the issue, it may need to be repaired or replaced.Â
The evaporator fan is responsible for circulating cold air throughout your fridge. If it’s blocked by ice buildup or food items, or if the fan motor is broken, your fridge may not cool properly. A malfunctioning evaporator fan can cause uneven cooling, with some sections staying warm while others remain cold. If you hear unusual noises or notice a lack of airflow inside your fridge, the fan may need repair or replacement.
The compressor is the heart of your fridge’s cooling system, circulating refrigerant to keep temperatures low. If the compressor is malfunctioning or failing, your fridge may not cool at all or may struggle to maintain a consistent temperature. Signs of a faulty compressor include loud noises, excessive heat at the back of the fridge, or the fridge running continuously without cooling properly. Since compressor issues require specialized repairs, it’s best to have a professional diagnose and fix the problem.
A refrigerant leak can significantly impact your fridge’s ability to cool. Refrigerant is essential for absorbing heat and keeping the interior cold, but if there’s a leak, the cooling process is disrupted. Signs of a refrigerant leak include a fridge that’s running but not cooling, a hissing sound, or an oily residue near the coils. Since handling refrigerant requires specialized equipment and expertise, it’s important to have a professional inspect and repair the issue.
The temperature control board regulates your fridge’s cooling system by sending power to the compressor and fans. If it malfunctions, your fridge may cool inconsistently, become too warm, or stop cooling altogether. Signs of a faulty control board include unresponsive temperature settings, erratic cooling cycles, or a fridge that won’t turn on. Since this component controls multiple functions, professional diagnosis is essential.
