Component families associated with this symptom
These are component types commonly connected with this malfunction. They are not model-specific part-number recommendations.
Evaporator fan motor
The evaporator fan circulates cold air through the refrigerator compartments.
Condenser fan motor
The condenser fan removes heat from the condenser on fan-cooled designs.
Compressor start relay / overload
The compressor may fail to start when its start device is defective.
Temperature sensor / thermistor
Electronic controls use thermistors to determine cooling demand.
Main control board
The control board operates compressor, fans, and defrost loads.
Defrost heater / defrost thermostat
A failed defrost system can ice over the evaporator and block airflow.
Door gasket
Air leakage through a damaged gasket increases cooling load.
