Defrost system problems, dirty condenser coils, fan failures, leaky door gaskets or control problems can lead to your freezer not getting cold enough. The frost buildup blocks cooling air paths through the evaporator so the freezer doesn’t cool well.Click to see full answer. Correspondingly, how do I know if my freezer is cold enough?To check the temperature of a refrigerator, it’s best to use food or liquid that has been in the compartment for at least 24 hours. The most common practice is to place a glass of water in the refrigerator (but not in the door) and let it sit for a day. Then place the thermometer in the glass to get a reading.Likewise, why is my refrigerator not cold but the freezer is? The most common cause for this condition is a problem with the defrost system. If the refrigerator freezer is cold but the refrigerator is warm, the evaporator fan motor might have failed. If the evaporator fan is running, the damper door is open and no air is coming out.

I assume you checked the setting, so it is likely not working properly. Check underneath to see if the “coil” is full of dust, this is a common issue. Most have a coil underneath, and it can be vacuumed.How do I fix my freezer not cold enough?Dirty condenser coils can cause cooling problems in the freezer. Unplug the refrigerator and check the condenser coils for dust and dirt buildup. Clean the condenser coils if they’re dirty. Continue to clean the coils when you perform routine refrigerator maintenance.
