Here are some of the most common problems with refrigerators:

• The refrigerator is not cooling
• The refrigerator is leaking water
• The refrigerator is cycling too often
• The refrigerator is freezing food
• Refrigerator is noisy
• The refrigerator is not dispensing water or ice 

Refrigerator Is Leaking Water

If your refrigerator is leaking water, here are some of the most probable causes:

Worn out door seal

When air goes through a defective door seal, it can create excessive moisture in the refrigerator resulting in potential water leaks. If the door seal is worn out, it should be replaced.

Faulty water inlet valve

The water inlet valve supplies water to the refrigerator dispenser and fills the ice maker. If the valve connections leak or the valve body is cracked, it should be replaced.

Blocked defrost drain

Condensation drips down through the defrost drain into a drain pan. If the defrost drain freezes up or becomes clogged with debris, water will not be able to drain and it will leak out of the refrigerator.

Damaged water supply line

When the water supply line is damaged, it may cause a water leak and puddle forming beneath the refrigerator. It can also prevent the icemaker and water dispenser from working properly. So, make sure your refrigerator water line is in good working condition with no holes or rips.

Cracked drain pan

The drain pan catches any dripping water and evaporates it. If the drain pan is dirty or clogged, water will overflow causing the leak onto the floor.

Let’s Have a Closer Look

The refrigerator drain pan is located under your fridge. You should pull the drain pan out and check for cracks or holes that could be causing the leak.

Refrigerator Is Not Cooling Properly

There are several things that can cause your refrigerator to stop cooling properly. Some of these you can do without the need of a refrigerator repair tech.

If your refrigerator is not cooling properly, here are some of the most probable cases:

Restricted air flow

Air flow can be restricted or blocked with some items. Keep food and drinks away from the air vents. It will allow cool air to flow around the stored items properly.

Damaged door seal

If the door seal is damaged or worn out, it can be responsible for letting cool air escape causing refrigerator-cooling problems. To test the effectiveness of your door seal, place a dollar bill against the refrigerator frame and close the door on it. If you can pull out the dollar with ease while the door is closed, the seal should be replaced.

Dirty condenser coils

Dusty dirty coils may reduce the refrigerators ability to cool. Use a special brush or vacuum cleaner to clean them at least once a year to prevent expensive compressor failure. In this case, you don’t need a refrigerator repair technician. Just vacuum off the coils and use a brush to take the dust off.

Incorrect temperature settings

An accidental bump could have changed the temperature settings. Reset the thermostat to the correct temperature. The typical temperature recommendation for refrigerator is from 34°F to 40°F and for freezers is 0°F.

Broken condenser fan motor

The condenser fan motor draws air through the condenser coils and over the compressor. If the condenser fan motor is not working properly, the refrigerator won’t cool properly. The motor should be replaced by a professional refrigerator repair technician.

Defective evaporator fan motor

The evaporator fan blows air through the evaporator before circulating cooled air to the freezer and refrigerator compartment. If the evaporator fan motor becomes defective, the cold air will not be circulated into the refrigerator causing cooling problems.
