Why Is My Fridge Not Cooling? Common Causes and Fixes
A refrigerator that is not cooling properly is more than an inconvenience — it can mean spoiled food and higher electricity bills. Before calling a fridge technician, it helps to understand what usually causes the problem.
Dirty condenser coils. Dust and grime on the coils at the back or bottom of the fridge make it work harder and cool less effectively.
Faulty thermostat. If the thermostat cannot sense temperature correctly, the compressor will not run when it should.
Low refrigerant (gas). A slow leak can gradually reduce cooling performance until a fridge gas refill is needed.
Door seal problems. A worn door seal lets warm air in constantly, forcing the compressor to run non-stop without ever reaching the set temperature.
Compressor failure. The most serious cause, usually requiring a full compressor repair or replacement.
Findafix fridge technicians in Nairobi diagnose these issues quickly, using genuine parts for Samsung, LG, Bosch, Hisense, and Ramtons refrigerators.
