My freezer not freezing

If the fan is running the the thermostat is good. Make sure the condenser fan motor is running if its a forced air condenser, other wise if all fans and the compressor are running check the evaporator for frost. No frost is a big problem with the sealed system.


Check or test each item, starting with the items at the top of the page. The seal around the freezer door can be another problem when your freezer is running but not freezing. It is not staying cold enough.

My ice cream is soft and only half frozen. The ice cubes are slow to come out and are half the size. They are also half melted when I dispense them from the ice maker. Turned out my freezer was frozen solid. I had to thaw out my freezer and put it back together.


Freezer is cold but not freezing at all. My Whirlpool freezer is not freezing all the way. Air is coming into the freezer , but it seems like it is only about as cold as the refrigerator. The refrigerator seems to be working fine.

My model number is ED25DQXBW00. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My freezer is cooling but not freezing. You can usually check this by removing an access panel in the back of the freezer to inspect the coils.


If ice is built up on the coils, a hairdryer can assist in defrosting them. The freezer began making ice and freezing food again. Three hours later I noticed the ice in the ice maker was melting. The evaporator fan in the freezer is running.


The condenser fan is running. I have adjusted the freezer and refrigerator temperatures to -and 37. If the evaporator fan motor is not working, the freezer will not cool.


If the start relay isn’t working properly, the compressor may run intermittently or may not run at all. If the compressor won’t run, the freezer will not cool. A Low freon charge can cause the evaporator to be cool but not cold enough to freeze.

Many factors can cause a freezer to not get cold enough.


Some of those problems you will be able to locate and correct yourself. When the freezer section is not cooling enough, ensure the freezer door is not always opened too frequently. The information did not resolve my issue.

This can result in your freezer not freezing properly. These coils can get dirty, and when they do they will not transfer heat or cold very well. Soft ice cream is a sign that your freezer is not set cold enough, or it is not freezing properly.


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. Subject: freezer not freezing. Clean the condensor coils.


Unplug the freezer , wait two hours and plug it in. If you hear it running, a problem is causing the compressor to overheat. Test the temperature control. Not only will this fix a tripped breaker, but in some cases it also resets the freezer. If your freezer runs far more than you expect, the cause may range from a simple fix to a more complicated repair that requires a professional.


Top half of my upright freezer not freezing items Items on the top shelf of my upright freezer do not freeze , items on the lower shelves are freezing fine. Same on the door, top shelf does not freeze lower shelves items freeze great. Whether you’ve got an issue with your Beko fridge freezer not working correctly due to it not freezing , or your Hoover fridge freezer has problems reaching the correct temperature, there’s no reason why you cannot repair rather than replace the freezer yourself. This problem is usually a result of a freon issue. Basically what is happening here is the evaporator inside the freezer is not completely frosted over.


My Samsung fridge freezer keeps leaking and making a clicking noise, but goes away when we open the doors, also the freezer is not freezing and the screen on the water dispenser where it says freezer is degrees is flashing and is warm inside. Regrettably, parts may not be available and replacing the unit may be the only alternative. Here are the top five most common freezer problems that Sears’ experts see over and over again and the likely culprits behind them.


Keep in min though, that not all freezers will make exactly the same sound when this happens. You might not have space for it in your kitchen, but a chest freezer kept in the basement or in the garage is excellent for storing frozen food. The problem only occurs in the cold of winter.


Air leaks are the main cause of this. I believe the freezer fan was frozen up. There could be a defrost problem and the frost is caused by having the freezer open while checking the problem out. Not all problems mean that the freezer needs to be replace but unless you know how to troubleshoot your freezer , you may not know what you need to do. Knowing the basics of how a freezer works and potential causes of issues is a good start.


There are several ways to fix a Frigidaire refrigerator or freezer that is not cold enough that depend on the source of the problem. These include fixing the condenser coils, the evaporator fan motor and the temperature control thermostat. Problems in any one of these areas can result in temperatures that are too high.


Yet, it does freeze, and the already-frozen things are still frozen solid.
