When both the fridge and freezer refuse working, be ready to replace several parts of the unit. It is a serious breakdown, it will cost you a lot. Still, the repair is going to be less expensive than purchasing a new refrigerator. Here you are a top list of the fridge parts you should check first of all. So pay your thorough attention to the thermostat, heater, control board and defrost evaporator coil. Thermostat dials inside the fridge can get bumped by cartons of milk or other items, though, which can change the set temperature. Even exterior digital thermostats can also be inadvertently changed by little fingers or if someone leans against the control panel, unknowingly changing the temperature. Many digital panels come with the ability to lock the settings for just that reason. Reset the temperature to the safe zone if necessary. If your freezer fan is still running, but your fridge is not getting cold, your compressor or the compressor start relay could be bad. Replacing the compressor start relay is much easier and cheaper than replacing the compressor. Simply buying a new relay and testing it with your current compressor would shed light on whether you will need a new compressor or your current issue has been fixed. To replace the compressor itself you’ll need to safely disconnect it from the suction line and compressor discharge line. You will also need to remove the electrical package and cut the high and low lines before loosening the bolts that hold the compressor in place. You can move the part closer to access and remove the ground wire. Your new compressor will need to be connected to your suction line, discharge line, and process line. The lines will require welds to secure them in place. Make sure to transfer the rubber grommets from your old compressor to the new and switch over the crossover line before evacuating the new system and dumping the new charge. A professional maintenance helper can check your device and replace defective parts.
