refrigerator not cooling

Aug 10, 2016 7 Replies

Side by side Whirlpool refrigerator is cooling only to 58 degrees when set to lowest setting. Serviceman replaced diffuser, but that did not remedy the problem. Freezer side is working fine. Any suggestions appreciated.


Is the fan working in the freezer (to divert cold air to the lower section)?

Do a complete unplug-and-let-it-sit-for -two-days drfrost . There is probably an ice blockage in the air passage to the refr side . Might have a defrost heater not working .

How old is it? If 15+ years you are probably better off replacing it. Service calls get expensive.

The service man was supposed to fix your problem. He didn't but - supposedly - charged you.. Call him again.

Has it been defrosted recently? the tube between the freezer and fridge is bad for being blocked with ice
