Equipment 

You may need some basic tools which you typically contain in a toolbox.            

  • 4-in-1 screwdriver
  • Adjustable wrench
  • Level
  • Hairdryer
  • Vacuum

  • Long brush

Step-1: Check The Evaporator Fan And The Compressor 

The evaporator fan is running or no a lot depends on that. Food compartment getting warm, freezer is not enough cold happens when the evaporator fan is not working properly. If you can hear or feel the air flowing, it is not a problem regarding the evaporator fan but the refrigerator compressor.

Step-2: Clean Condenser Coils

The refrigerator is making a lot of noise, the unit is cycling frequently, the freezer isn’t cold enough then it is a problem with the condenser coil. Clean the dust from the condenser coils with a blow dryer, vacuum, or brush. If it’s still giving trouble invest in a replacement. 

Step-3: Check Drain Hose And Plastic Supply Line

Leaking water on the floor from the fridge happens when the defrost drain is blocked or the water supply becomes clogged or frozen. A buildup of debris can cause clogging in the drain hose by building ice and leaking water. Use a pipe cleaner to unclog the hose. If needed, dismantle the rubber valve from it and wash it with hot water and soap and install it again. Locate shut-off valve, check for problems in the plastic supply line. If it’s torn replace it. 

Step-4: Inspect The Door And The Thermostat 

Check if the door is tight enough or it is loose. Replace the rubber if it is loose. Check the temperature, if the thermostat is faulty frequently.
