The Root Cause: Key Components That Fail

When your unit stops cooling, the problem nearly always traces back to one of the critical components in the sealed refrigeration system or the necessary ventilation controls. Our licensed technicians troubleshoot the following common cooling failures:

  • Defrost System Malfunction: In frost-free models, a failed defrost heater, timer, or thermostat causes ice to build up on the evaporator coils, blocking airflow and preventing cold air from reaching the refrigerator compartment. This is the number one cause of fridge not cooling complaints.
  • Compressor or Relay Failure: The compressor is the heart of the system. If it fails to run, or if the start relay or capacitor is faulty, the unit cannot circulate refrigerant, leading to a complete loss of cold. We perform advanced compressor troubleshooting to confirm the unit’s viability.
  • Condenser or Evaporator Fan Motor Issues: The condenser fan cools the coils, and the evaporator fan circulates cold air inside. If either of these fridge fans stop working, the cooling process fails, resulting in warm temperatures, especially in the freezer.

 

Refrigerant Leaks or Blockages: While less common, a leak in the sealed system or a blockage prevents the vital cooling cycle from completing, requiring specialized equipment and precise handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why is my refrigerator running but not cooling? 

This typically points to an issue with the air circulation or the defrost system. The compressor may be running fine, but a failed evaporator fan or excessive frost buildup (due to a defrost failure) is blocking the cold air.

Can I fix the “no cooling” issue myself? 

Some basic checks, like cleaning the condenser coils or ensuring proper ventilation behind the unit, can be done safely. However, serious issues involving the compressor, refrigerant, or electrical systems require a professional technician to prevent further damage.

How much does compressor troubleshooting and repair cost? 

Our service begins with the $85 diagnostic fee. The final cost of compressor repair or replacement depends heavily on the unit’s type (residential vs. commercial) and the specific part needed (relay vs. the entire compressor unit). We provide a clear estimate after the diagnosis.

Do you handle not-cooling issues for commercial walk-in freezers? 

Yes. Our expertise extends to high-capacity, specialized units like commercial refrigerators and walk-in freezers not freezing, which often face complex issues with large coils and air handlers.

Identifying these symptoms accurately is crucial in diagnosing the problem with a refrigeration system and determining the most effective repair strategy.
