Why Does My Refrigerator Stop Cooling?
A refrigerator that stops cooling is one of the most frustrating appliance failures a homeowner can face. The answer to "why does my refrigerator stop cooling" often lies in the complex system of compressors, coils, and fans that keep the unit at an optimal temperature.
The sweltering summer heat in Abilene puts a great load on household appliances. When the outside temperature goes beyond 100°F, your refrigerator compressor and condenser coils have to work extra to dissipate heat. If the coils are covered with dust or pet hair (common in the Big Country), the system can easily overheat and shut down, resulting in a warm fridge and damaged food.
Other common causes include a bad evaporator fan motor that doesn’t blow cold air, a broken defrost timer that causes ice to build up over the cooling coils, or a bad start relay that doesn’t allow the compressor to power on. Whatever the problem, our trained experts have the diagnostic equipment and ability to rapidly locate the problem and have your refrigerator running at its best again.
The Abilene Heat Factor
Anyone who has spent a summer in Taylor County knows how brutal the heat gets. In July and August, your home can warm up quite a bit, and your refrigerator has to work overtime just to keep your food cold.
A simple way to help it out: vacuum the condenser coils every six months. Dust builds up on them faster than most people expect, and clean coils make a real difference when it’s 100° outside.
Also, keep an ear out for the compressor. If it’s running nonstop and never seems to shut off, don’t wait for it to fail. Call a technician early, because catching the problem now is almost always cheaper than dealing with a full breakdown later.
