If your Frigidaire mini fridge is not cooling properly, you’re in the right place! In this guide, we will discuss all of the main reasons why this problem may be happening, and how you can fix them.
Start by checking the condenser coils and then simply work your way down the list of reasons until you’ve found what’s causing your mini fridge to not cool.
The condenser coils are one of the main components within your mini fridge that help it to cool down to the correct temperature. When the coils get covered in frost or dust they will stop working and your mini fridge won’t be able to cool.
To check the coils, you need to:
The purpose of the condenser fan is to blow air over the coils so they don’t frost over and stop working. When the fan or the motor that powers the fan stops working, your Frigidaire mini fridge might stop cooling.
To check the condenser fan, you need to:
Your mini fridge may have a second fan called an evaporator fan that is there to distribute cold air from your freezer unit to the fridge. When it stops working, your mini fridge might not be able to cool down to the correct temperature.
To check the evaporator fan, you need to:
The start relay helps the compressor operate correctly so your mini fridge can cool down to the correct temperature. When it stops working, your mini fridge might not cool properly.
To check the start relay, you need to:
The temperature control thermostat monitors the temperature in your mini fridge and reports its recordings to the main control board so the board knows which components to turn on to ensure the temperature is kept to the correct level. If the thermostat stops working, other components will also stop working, causing your mini fridge to not cool.
To check the temperature control thermostat, you need to:
The start capacitor helps the compressor start up. When it becomes faulty, the compressor will not work correctly, and your mini fridge will fail to cool down to the correct temperature.
To check the start capacitor, you need to:
The compressor is responsible for producing refrigerant to keep your mini fridge at the correct temperature. When it becomes defective your mini fridge won’t be able to work correctly.
To check the compressor, you need to:
Your mini fridge has a control board that is essentially the brains of your appliance. When this board becomes defective, your mini fridge will not work correctly. Unfortunately, testing and/or repairing the main control board is difficult so your best option is to replace it and hope that gets your fridge working again. On the other hand, you may decide the better option is to buy a new mini fridge.
