If you notice that the evaporator fan isn't running when you check for cooling inside the freezer compartment, our video troubleshooting evaporator fan problems in refrigerators can help you figure out why the evaporator fan isn't working. Replace the evaporator fan if it's bad.

Dirty condenser coils can cause cooling problems in the freezer. Unplug the refrigerator and check the condenser coils for dust and dirt buildup. Clean the condenser coils if they're dirty. Continue to clean the coils when you perform routine refrigerator maintenance.

Check to see if the condenser fan works when you see the freezer not getting cold enough. The condenser won't cool refrigerant efficiently if the condenser fan doesn't run. Replace the condenser fan if it doesn't run when activated.

Faulty temperature sensors or controls can also prevent the freezer from cooling well. Our video troubleshooting thermistor problems in refrigerators provides advice on diagnosing and fixing temperature control problems in a common top-freezer refrigerator. Follow the guidelines in the video to check temperature sensors and controls in your refrigerator and replace any failed parts. If you have different type of refrigerator than the one shown in the video, follow the basic troubleshooting principles shown in the video to diagnose and repair the control system and temperature sensors in your refrigerator.

Several problems can interfere with making ice. The ice maker could be jammed or broken, a dirty water filter or kinked water line could be blocking water flow or the water inlet valve could be clogged or faulty. Check the ice maker for jammed cubes and clear any ice buildup that you find. Replace the ice maker assembly if it doesn't cycle when activated. Replace the water inlet valve if it's clogged or won't fill the ice maker when activated. Replace any damaged or clogged water system tubing.

No ice in the ice maker also could mean that your refrigerator isn't cooling-the ice maker won't cycle if the freezer is warmer than 5 degrees F. Try the troubleshooting tips in our refrigerator not cooling video to resolve freezer temperature problems.

If frost is building up in the freezer, check first for a break in the door gasket that could be letting in warm, moist air. If the gasket seems sound, a malfunction somewhere in the automatic defrost system could be the culprit. A failed defrost timer or a bad electronic control board may not initiate the automatic defrost cycle, causing excessive frost buildup on the back wall inside the freezer. A faulty defrost sensor can prevent the defrost heater from turning on the defrost cycle. See how to check the defrost sensor and other components in the defrost system in our refrigerator won't cool troubleshooting video.
