Refrigerator Repair in Miami: What to Do When It Stops Cooling
It’s a homeowner’s nightmare: you open the fridge, and everything inside feels warm. From spoiled food to stress and unexpected costs, a broken refrigerator can cause serious headaches. But don’t panic — help is nearby.
At Chantafix Appliance Repair, we’ve helped hundreds of Miami families restore their refrigerators fast. In this guide, we’ll walk you through what causes fridges to stop cooling and how to fix it.
🧊 Why Your Refrigerator Isn’t Cooling Properly
1. Dirty Condenser Coils
If coils (usually on the back or bottom of the fridge) are covered in dust, they can’t release heat — meaning your fridge struggles to stay cold. Vacuum them every 6–12 months.
2. Faulty Thermostat
If the thermostat isn’t detecting the right temperature, it may not trigger the compressor to cool. A replacement is usually fast and affordable.
3. Broken Evaporator Fan
This fan helps circulate cold air. If it's noisy or not spinning, cooling will suffer — especially in the fridge compartment.
4. Blocked Vents
Piled-up food can block airflow from the freezer to fridge. Make sure vents inside aren’t blocked by containers or bags.
5. Compressor or Relay Issues
If you don’t hear the compressor running and the back feels silent, the problem could be electrical or mechanical — time to call a technician.
🧼 Quick Fixes You Can Try First
- Unplug the fridge for 5 minutes and plug it back in — this can reset the control board.
- Check the thermostat setting — sometimes it's accidentally bumped.
- Clean the coils underneath or behind the fridge with a brush or vacuum.
- Make sure the door seals tightly — no air gaps or torn gaskets.
