Why my fridge wont get cold?

Question

Why my fridge wont get cold?

Answer 1

There should be a wire that comes out the back.  If you can locate it you will notice that it has a set of 2 or 3 prongs on the back.  The next step will be to look around your kitchen and you may find a square plate that has 3 holes that roughly match up to the prongs.

Insert the wire into the recepticle and wait a few hours then check.

i.e.  Is it plugged in?

Answer 2

you did not mention how old it is or what brand it is. more likely you will need a new one.  out with the old and in with the new. good luck.

Answer 3

can you ask a more vague question  lol

I mean seriously, how do you expect us to answer your question without a single detail.

Do you always talk like this, or what?

I suggest you start over and this time ad some thought into your question.

Answer 4

It sounds like your com-presser.

Answer 5

Put a dust mask on and with a hair dryer blow out the dust from underneath it and in back of it.If that doesn't do the trick,empty it,unplug it,and leave the doors open for a day.When you plug her back in the next day,there is a 75% chance she'll start cooling again.

Answer 6

There's not a lot to go on here, but here are things to check.

First, is there power--is it plugged in, and does the socket hot?  (Yeah, it's dumb but everyone does this to something at least once.)  

Next, does one side work and not the other?  Maybe the thermostat needs adjusted--turn it to "cooler" or whatever.  If one side works, then it's probably not the compressor.

Also, the age of the refrigerator needs to be considered.  We have an old one--at least 25 years old--out in our garage, and we've never done a thing to it.  We have a relatively new one in the kitchen--about 5-6 years old--and we've had two repairs on it.  So, what does that have to do with it, you ask?  Well, two things--1.  the one is the garage is bound to totally fail soon, and 2.  they don't make things like they used to.  Everything has a limited life, and sooner or later, its life is over--fridge, car, human life, etc.  Nothing is safe.  If it's not old, does it still have a warranty?  You may check for recalls, too.  (Look online and I'm sure that you'll find all kinds of recalls on things you own.)

Most likely, if you eliminate the options above, you can probably find some more general tips online.  You may even find others with the exact model with the exact problem.  From there, you can decide if you can fix it yourself or if you need to call the repair man or the garbage man.

Sorry for lack of specifics, but I didn't have much to work with.

Good luck!
