Diagnosis: Why a Refrigerator Stops Cooling

When we inspected the back of the unit, we saw issues near the compressor and copper lines. A refrigerator that stops cooling may have one of these problems:

• Faulty start relay or control board

• Refrigerant leak in the copper tubing

• Defective 3-way solenoid valve

• Clogged filter drier or capillary tube

• Dirty condenser coils or fan

After these steps, the refrigerator that had stopped cooling began to work normally again.
