Recently it stopped making ice again. Took it back apart, Defrost area was not frozen over. Some slight frost on the condenser tubes, but nothing else. Melted it all, also blew the air onto the feed line port (where it comes into cabinet). This resolved the issue for a couple days.

No ice again, did some checking and found that the water inlet assembly could be going out, letting water drip, which was freezing up. Replaced this, and at same time cleaned all the dust off the coils and such. Also replaced both the filter in basement (in line with feed) and the one in fridge. This worked for several weeks, but yesterday no ice again.

I'm going to check for iced over again, but where else should I look?

The refrigerator never shuts off after cooling; the compressor runs continuously.

The first time this happened, we assumed it was caused by our leaving the door open; however, I don't think we have left it open this time. Any advice on what may be causing this and how we could prevent it? It happened in ~3 months this time.

My refrigerator is running but it’s not cooling properly. The freezer works a little, but the fridge section stays warm. What could be the issue?

• There is no ice build up.
• The fan by the evaporator panel is running.
• The fan by the compressor is running
• The LED on the inverter is ON and solid (no blinks).
• We replaced the inverter board just to be sure.
• The U-V-W connectors to the compressor show about ~15 ohms between them.
• Thermistor in freezer is showing expected values for room temperature.

It seems and sounds like everything is running properly but the freezer is still room temperature. My current belief is that its a problem with the compressor. It is running, it's making humming sounds like the motor is running but the compressor itself is getting hot and all of the tubes coming out of the compressor are room temperature.

I'd like to not replace the compressor. From what I hear it is expensive and I don't think I can do it myself. If anyone has any other ideas, I'm all ears.

What could be causing this cycle, and what component should we check or replace to fix it permanently?

⟐ Answer edited 4月 22, 2026 at 8:20 GMT-7

The temp is set at 37 for the fridge and 0 for the freezer.

I bought a couple of wifi temp monitors and they are both showing the same thing.

The fridge fluctuates between 37 and 55 and the freezer from -5 to +5 (even when the doors are closed for a long time).

Is this fluctuation normal ??? Should I be concerned about the hardware ?

Also, the digital readout on the door constantly says the actual temp is 37 even if the door is opened for a minute or 2. It never moves from 37.

The water dispenser has worked fine throughout all this, and I have an ice maker in the bottom freezer that has also worked properly throughout the door ice maker failures.

Periodically I can also hear the fridge sound like it is attempting to fill it with water, but no water is ever dispensed into the tray of the ice maker assembly.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what may be causing this and how to fix it?

refrigerator. We opened it up to find everything was defrosting. The fridge initially seemed unaffected, but after several hours also began to lose its temp. The fan inside the freezer blew foolish air, far from cold.

I pulled it out of the recessed area it's pushed into, took the cardboard panel off the back and found a thick layer of dust on the circular fan that blows on the compressor. I vacuumed all the dust and basically anything I could get at, along with suctioning the drainage tube to clear any blockages. Heard no clicking noises. It all still worked and ran, just no cold air.

On a side note, I looked for the radiator grating, the tubes that circulate the refrigerant, and it seems like they're incorporated into the fan, at least I could see it just underneath and possibly inside the fan. Don't know for sure.

I cleaned off the cardboard and the two vents placed inside the recessed area, there for air circulation. I also looked behind some panels to see if any plugs/connectors were burnt. Found none and made sure all plugs were secure. I then put it all back together.

It seemed to have no effect, I left the fridge out of its cave overnight and went to bed. I woke up this morning and it was working again. The fridge is cold, but the freezer might not be working at full capacity. The ice packs have yet to become rock solid again.

What are these issues indicative of? How did my freezer regain at least 75 to 80 percent of its capacity? I was hoping the particulars of my problem might narrow the scope of possible solutions.

Thank you for reading through that mess.
