This may be caused by dirty condenser coils, a faulty evaporator fan, or a malfunctioning thermostat. Power issues or blocked vents can also affect cooling.

Unusual noises can come from a failing compressor, evaporator fan, or ice maker. Clicking, buzzing, or rattling should be investigated promptly. Learn more in our refrigerator sound guide.

Leaks are often caused by a clogged defrost drain, cracked water line, or improperly sealed door. Check for puddles inside and underneath the unit. Visit our leak and freeze guide for help.

This can happen due to a defective defrost heater, damaged door seal, or frequent door opening allowing humid air to enter.

Frequent cycling could indicate dirty coils, incorrect temperature settings, or a malfunctioning thermostat or control board.

It could be a burned-out bulb, broken door switch, or power issue. Try replacing the bulb or checking the door mechanism.

If temperatures aren’t holding properly due to blocked air vents, poor circulation, or a faulty sensor, food can spoil faster than expected.

This usually happens if the temperature setting is too low or if the damper control is stuck open, pushing too much cold air into the fresh food section.

Condensation is often caused by warm air entering due to a worn door gasket, high humidity, or frequent door opening.

Clean the condenser coils regularly, check door seals for gaps, avoid overloading, and set temperatures between 37–40°F (3–4°C) for the fridge and 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer. Follow our top fridge care tips for best results.
