Cooling Problems FAQ
Diagnose common temperature issues in your refrigerator, freezer, and ice maker before scheduling a service visit in Kennesaw and Cobb County.
A refrigerator that hums or runs continuously without reaching safe temperatures usually suffers from dirty condenser coils, a malfunctioning evaporator fan, or a compromised door seal. When heat cannot escape through dusty coils, the compressor runs continuously without effectively chilling the interior.
Safety Notice: Always unplug your refrigerator before attempting to inspect electrical wiring or fan assemblies.
