@billhorn1000 Being with testing the fridge's defrost thermostat. A bad thermostat is a common reason for fridges being too cold. I will send you an email with a link to our website with information on how to test the thermostat. Please let us know the results. If the thermostat checks out then please provide us with the fridge's model number so I can investigate other causes. One last question - has the thermostat been adjusted - as in it might have been set on a higher setting?

Do you actually have videos about how to determine what's wrong with the fridge?

The videos of yours i've seen so far is about replacing parts known to be faulty, but not how to detect the faulty components.

[partselect]

@eveningniteshade - Yes, we have a great tutorial about how to determine what's wrong with the fridge. The video is called "Troubleshooting A Warm Fridge And Freezer." I will direct message you the link to the video. If you have any other questions or want more information then please let us know.

I have a Fridgadaire fridge in garage that stopped cooling, but I noticed the condensor fan motor sometimes dosen't start back up with the compressor. If you push outward on the fan blade it starts up usually. I cleaned it the best I could do. Should I change the motor and is that why the fridge is not cooling down properly?

[partselect]

@ghd1959 If definitely sounds like the motor could be causing your troubles. If you can give me your model number, I can try to give you some more specific help. Or you can head over to our website and plug it in there!

Steve, my refridgerator has started freezing up all my food, eggs, all product and all freezable items in fridge.(not the freezer part). The fan runs continously, but at time I do not hear it. What can be causesing that, the condenser relay or maybe the thermostate? HELP
