Blocked Vents

Your refrigerator’s vents are one of the most crucial aspects of your appliance and can be a frequent source of problems with your cooling system. These vents help maintain proper air temperature, so when they become blocked with dirt, debris, or spilled food, its ability to keep your food cooled is compromised. The good news is that they can typically be easily cleaned. 

Malfunctioning Thermostat

Your thermostat makes sure that you are in control of the temperature in your refrigerator at any given time and can be adjusted in order to meet your standards and expectations. If there is an issue in the wiring and it has lost power or the settings are simply out of sync with the display, you aren’t going to be able to properly regulate the coolness of the air inside.
