Fridge has ice up the back, but doesn't seem to be cold !
buffalobill Wrote: unplug, open all doors. remove service kickplate and clean all coils below or behind which are full of dirt and dog hair. blow 24 hours with a 20 inch window fan at room temperature. I had the same problem a few years ago. A handyman (there to adjust my furnace) gave me the same advice Buffalo Bill gives here. He took off a plate on the back of the fridge and I was appalled and embarrassed at the amount of dog hair and dust that was clinging to the coils. He said that lots of folks fail to keep the coils clean and end up with a warm fridge, and that people need to be diligent about vacuuming the back of the fridge. We vacuumed the coils and voila! my fridge began functioning properly again. So it's worth checking the coils for dust and hair. Good luck! -- Gingertoad |
