Urgency: High

Possible Causes

Faulty thermostat or temperature control

How to Identify: Set temperature does not match actual interior temperature (use thermometer to verify; cooler runs but stays warm

Part: Thermostat/temperature sensor

Dirty/obstructed condenser coils reducing heat dissipation

How to Identify: Unit runs with warm interior; visible dust/debris on coils at back/bottom reduces cooling; improved function after cleaning

Part: Condenser coils

Condenser or evaporator fan failure

How to Identify: Lack of fan movement or unusual noise; warm air not circulated; audible fan failure

Part: Condenser fan / evaporator fan motor

Compressor not running or failing

How to Identify: No humming from compressor, unit doesn’t complete cooling cycle; warm interior; prolonged run time

Part: Compressor

Improper airflow/blocked vents inside unit

How to Identify: Bottles or objects blocking internal air paths; uneven cooling zones; consult repositioning improves performance
