Freezer ICE Cold but Fridge Warm | SOLVED | Frigidaire, Kenmore Refridgerator FIX

Do you have a video on how to remove ice maker from this freezer? Thank you!1

As was the case with many others in the comments, the fan was working fine and I just needed to defrost and clear the ice build up that was blocking the channel.

I would have had no clue where to begin if not for this video, and thought for sure I was going to have to purchase a new fridge.

Thanks JJ!

Thank You! My freezer was fine, but the fridge wasn’t cold damper channel was blocked and fan motor was out, 3 months after warranty ran out. It had a rattle when the freezer fan came on since the day we bought it, and that was the main give away that the fan motor had stopped working and the fridge was too warm. I ordered the fan off amazon for about $20, took 4 days to get here, and about an hour to replace, cleaned the freezer and removed the ice dam from the channel and while the fridge was pulled out I vacuumed the vents on the back and took some canned air and blew off the condenser coils and fan at the bottom of the fridge. Cold air is blowing from all the right places and it’s humming away! THANK YOU!😊 Your video saved me almost the cost of a whole new fridge since I live out in the boonies and they gouge the crap out of us for service calls and parts. Truly appreciated. Gonna give it a little bit to cool down and make sure it’s doing what it should. But so far so good!

Excellent production!

Thank you so much for this video

I have a new refrigerator since I bought it, and it does not cool at all in the summer, and the freezer section is very light...in Saudi Arabia I bought a second one with the same problem, what is the solution?
Tnx

Need to do this cuz my landlord sucks n taking to long to get someone to fix

The Beko I am dealing with has no air channel between the two what system is this split evaporator?

You are so informative! My coild were frozen completely! I defrosted the whole fridge, plugged it back in and noticed the fan was not turning. You saved me tons of money. Thank you!

My freezer is cold, but won't freeze, the refrigerator side not cold at all. Please help

My airways were blocked by ice but we realized it was becuz the fan wasn't working. Spent 21 dollars on Amazon and used this video and saved us hundreds. Ty

I’ve had a very productive conversation with this creator that I can reference for other issues.

What I notice with my fridge and I hope it helps someone:

If the fan works,
The freezer works
Then lower the temperature of your fridge.
The ice build up might have blocked the return vent. You will have to remove the panel and see for yourself. It’s right under the “radiator fins. If ice is blocking it then their is your problem! 😊First thaw out all the ice, let it melt. If you remove the light dome fixture you can set a small jug inside to catch the water as it will be a lot. There is a knob inside the bottom part of the fridge. If you are building too much ice inside your freezer DO NOT set it on the “recommended” setting. Set it half way or 1/4” of an inch before the recommended side. Get closer to the recommended as needed. You might have to monitor your temperature so your food doesn’t go bad.
Also, the knob that’s inside the freezer actually controls how much air flows to the bottom. It’s not a electrical setting. It just opens the vent wider. If you leave it to the coldest setting most of the cold air will stay in the freezer. I set it the the lowest that way the cold air can also go to the bottom of the fridge.

My fan works, there is nothing blocking tha passage but the tan isn’t pushing any air towards the bottom 😤

Thank you! The world needs more people like you. Your video was great. Easy to follow. Took me literally 10 minutes, And the fridge is working again. Much appreciated.

Any ideas why else it is not blowing enough air. I just bought a brand new GE refrigerator and got food poisoning because my refrigerator isn’t cold enough because of air flow.
Tech found a piece of foam blocking the vent and replaced the fan for good measure. HOWEVER, the air flow is still not enough to cool the refrigerator appropriately. When I open the fridge door I feel no coolness like in my previous models. I have it set at the highest setting.
I bought a refrigerator thermostat and it shows it is not cold enough for safety.
Tech cane again. Stuck his hand in the fridge and said it’s cold enough. 🤨

Nicely done

Hi JJ, I replaced the fan but the fan is still not turning on. Any ideas what it might be?

How to use the defrost button.?

Thanks!

My fridge looks a lot like this one. My fan is running, but it just doesn't seem to be blowing very hard down below - so maybe the fans not blowing hard enough. No ice blockage.

What if my freezer is freezing fine and the fan is spinning and blowing air but the bottom is still not cold enough ? Freezer is at -6 degrees & bottom is at 38 degrees

Thanks for the video!!! I would like to ask you, my freezer is cold and things gets frozen, but not as it should be. and my fridge totally warm, is it the same problem?

Thanks!

I luv you brother I mean it Thanks for the clear and concise directions and most of all for saving me money honey. I have that exact refrigerator but I have to remove the ice maker 1st, do you have a video on how I remove it?

Great video!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This video is exactly what I needed to fix our two year old fridge! I actually called to have someone look at it before finding your video, and they tried to upsell me on a bunch of warranty cost for other things that I didn’t need. I actually ended up hanging up on them. Your instructions were so clear and easy to follow, I had the fridge fixed in about 15 minutes once the $22 part came from Amazon overnight. You are awesome!😎 Thanks again!😁

Although my fridge didnt have the same problem, you did help me figure it out! The freezer was so frozen it froze something going to the fridge. I just opened the freezer let it thaw out and it started working again. true story lol THANK YOU!!!!!

Thanks! Saved me hundreds and this was just the info I needed to repair my fridge!

My only complaint about this video is that nothing comes off as easily as is shown the first time and some of the clips and parts are more fragile than they look (especially when still frozen). But thank you for helping fix my fridge.

I have the same issue but with a 3.2 CU.F mini-fridge with a separate freezer and refrigerator section (2-door model). There is no removable back panel inside the freezer (or the refrigerator portion either), it's all one continuous molded piece of plastic and so there also is no "air-channel" going from the freezer to the lower refrigerator section and no fan. The top freezer section gets VERY cold (-20 F or colder) and bottom refrgerator section is between 57 F to 65 F. No apparent removable panel in the outside back of the unit either other than the bottom rear open portion where the compressor and tubing as it. So I'm stumped as to why the refrigerator section isn't getting cold.

THANK YOU!!! I’ve literally been researching for a week! And your video was exactly what I’ve been experiencing!

Good job

Great thank you thumbs up

Thanks man, this saved me alot of money and it was super easy

Thank you for sharing!

Hi, the blower fan is working in the freezer. I can heard the blower fan is running. However,the fridge is not cooling. There is no cold air blowing down from the freezer. Should I still buy the replacement part to replace it? Please help

Before the probe Len was freezer was freezing and fridge not cooling and now it’s both of them not cooling. Would this fix work?

Hello my problem is the bottom fridge is freezing every food , it’s the same temperature in top and bottom , how can I do ?

Repairman replaced fan and refrigerator is cooler but still not cooling in 38 degree range. It is running at 45- 46 degrees. Very frustrating.

Thanks for your Video

My problem is the opposite of this video. I can’t find an answer to my problem. The top freezer is too cold( ice cream rock hard/ fridge is normal. I found the button to slide up and down in the freezer to adjust the coldness. It won’t move!! Is there a truck to this or something???

I have a question I repair my freezers thermostat sensor and the heating element does turn on and I also replace the defrost timer but it still keeps icing over do you think that I have a short somewhere in the temperature control knob this all started when the lightbulb socket went out

I am going to try this on Saturday my day off and see if I can get it working thank you so much a

You should have defosted everything in there before reinstallation

I have the same problem. But the fan is working fine. Do you think I should replace the Bimetal sensor? That's my guess. Could you please reply... 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I need the link for replacement parts anyone have a clue how much it would be

the freezer is working the fan is working the refrigerator is not cooling. where do i go from here. please reply

Nice video, what could cause the fan not to spin fast enough ? Having a similar problem

You’re video gets right to the point! Thank you so much you saved me a $125 trouble call plus labor
