Machine is not cooling

Confirm airflow and controls before condemning the sealed system, and stop at the compressor — sealed-system repair is specialist work.

Other common issues

Not the right symptom?

01

Clear condenser airflow

Clean the condenser filter and fins and confirm the condenser fan runs; restricted airflow is the most common cooling complaint.

02

Verify thermostat and settings

Confirm the setpoint and defrost schedule match the product load, then give the cabinet 30-60 minutes to stabilize after any change.

03

Inspect the evaporator and gaskets

Check for a frosted evaporator, torn door gaskets, and a blocked evaporator fan so the cabinet can hold temperature between cycles.

04

Stop at the compressor

Listen for compressor start attempts and record the behavior, then leave electrical and sealed-system repair to a qualified refrigeration technician.

Still stuck?
