Question

The refrigerator doesn't seem to keep food cold in the hot weather. Should I lower the temp til October?

Answer 1

If the refrigerator is running all the time

1.  clean the coils and get all the dirt out.

2.  After cleaning, if this continues, you probably are low on the refrigerant and need to have it added by a refrigerator service person

If the refrigerator is not running all the time, you should set the temp lower.

Answer 2

Check the coils under the fridge to see if they might need a good cleaning.  Adjust the temp for the fridge to what serves your needs the best.

Answer 3

Take a leaf blower or some sort of blower and clean the coils, beneath and behind your refrigerator. Replace your seal around the door, check for refrigerant leaks and recharge if needed. Good Luck!!
