User Suggested Solutions
-
Clean the condenser coils. Unplug the refrigerator, locate the coils (usually at the back or beneath), and use a vacuum or brush to remove dust and debris. Plug in and check if the temperature stabilizes.
-
Check and replace the temperature sensor if faulty. Locate the sensor inside the refrigerator, test it with a multimeter for continuity, and replace it if necessary.
-
Inspect air vents for blockages. Remove any items obstructing the vents inside the fridge and freezer compartments to ensure proper airflow.
