My 20yr old fridge in my garage still works fine. Bought a new Kenmore elite for the kitchen -- trash within 2yrs

This video changed my life. I was unemployed, unhealthy, and alone. Then I watched this video and my life was transformed forever. Now I'm the CEO of a successful company, I have a six pack, I'm happily married, and have two healthy sons. Thank you Boulevard Home for the amazing video!!!

It was a job in itself to clear my apt so my frig had room to be pulled out. But pull it out I did, and--dustpan & brush in hand--I pulled its plug. Then I got to cleaning the dust bunnies off the floor, as well as the dust off the frig, its cords, the walls, and ran a wet cloth on the floor. Man did it pick up dirt! Fortunately there were no dead mice. OK so now that my 5 minutes had passed, I plugged it back in. And, voila! The machine went to town working again. Whoo hoo! Thanks for repair 'splaining BlvdHome!

Hi Thank you for the information in the video. My Maytag was not cooling in the refrigerator and the freezer sections. I followed your recommendations. I unplugged the refrigerator for 5 minutes and I think that resetting the computer board may have been enough for a positive response as the sound from the fans running could be heard. Had to listen closely as they are quiet but before the reset there was absolute silence. I will be giving time for the cooling process to take hold. Just in case, I have a call into the appliance repair service. Selling house and the appliances have to be in working order so no time to waste.

I found this video very easy to follow. Very clear. I will try these things

My recent experience was that the Samsung unit I have went into demo mode for some reason. I've never touched the panel so I was glad to find a video that showed exactly what needed to be done to take it out of demo mode. Working again! I'm glad I had a big chest freezer to dump my meats to before they hit critical temps.

I will try all that you said. Hopefully its just a reboot thank you. Very informational for me

Thankyou for the instructions brother. I cleaned the back, under and all vents. switch on and fridge started. God bless you.

Try this to get the freezer working again. I have an LG Top-Bottom Fridge that was having similar trouble. Compressor and exterior fan were working fine but the freezer was not cooling. I removed the front interior trim of the freezer and saw that the evaporator fan was not working. I carefully unscrewed it from the housing frame behind the trim and checked the resistance and continuity on the wire connector which were excellent. Now I've seen repairmen who would just tell you to replace the fan but at that time of day that was not an option. Having done this before with a standing fan, I realised that all this fan wanted was a cleaning and lubricating of the magnets and impeller respectively. Eventually over time with these two there is a build up of dirt, and rust in some cases, which must be cleaned and so here is where WD 40 is your best friend. I used some of this on a paper napkin to wipe the two surfaces after which I used some treadmill silicone oil, you can use something similar, on the curved surface of the impeller as well as the shaft and end joint housing. I reinstalled the evap fan and plugged it in. Not only did it spin, but it spun faster than before. Also, make sure you clean the plastic fan blade which should just pop off the impeller shaft. I placed mine under the faucet and used some dishwashing soap. Hope this tip helps someone to save some time and money. 😀

Thanks for the information

Very helpful thank you!

Thank you so much

Thank you very much you helped diagnose my fridge be able to convince my landlod that I knew what I was talking about. He sent a fridge repair person who found a bigger problem and fixed it. Thank you

Thank you for the video, very help full, just a question how to identify if the evaporator van or the evaporator fan motor need replacement ?

Very informative 🎉

Very informative thanks will do the steps

Thank you so much very informative

thank you this vedio was good information . i bought this 1 1/2 year and now the freezer is not working. i will try your steps and get back to you

Thanks 👍

Thank you

Thanks for the video. I'm having a similar issue with my KitchenAid KFCP. The problem is that it will work for a day or two and then the refrigerator gets warm again. I cleaned the coils (no effect) and then replaced the Damper assembly as the Evaporator fan is working but the damper door would not open. It only worked for a day so I then replaced the Thermistor but it did not solve the problem. At this point do you think it may be the Control board? I'm reluctant due to the cost but more importantly, I haven't seen a circuit board have intermittent problems unless there another fault elsewhere but maybe I'm wrong in this case. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks i have at least so thing to check

Thanks a lot for the information, it helps a lot

Thank u Sir such a great teacher ❤

Do black plastic / nylon bags pull more energy when in the fridge ?

Very informative

Very useful video, thanks

Appreciate this. My midea refrigerator has ice building up in the inside back of the refrigerator. Inside the vents. This is causing the refrigerator to get warm. I am having difficulty getting a repair person to come out as I am told they won’t service midea. Hoping for a suggestion

Ur video is interesting I have a inverter frigadare its not freezing what should I do about it

I need the manual for my Enmore Elite refrigerator

Nailed it! Thank you!

What about the compressor relay? That would be something to definitely check.

SERVICE RECOMANDATION: Let it defrost 1-2days, you need a second fridge but it works, this is for all new models, specialy no frost ones, if freezer is working but fridge temps are up, this might save a trip to service, also for summer better set temps 4 , -19

Thanks..

It's very important to keep your appliances at the proper temperatures. Keep the refrigerator temperature at or below 40° F (4° C). The freezer temperature should be 0° F (-18° C). Check temperatures periodically. If the temperatures aren't kept at the proper settings the more chance Listeria, a bacterium that causes foodborne illness, can grow, especially if the refrigerator temperature is above the safe temperature. Thermometers are the best way of knowing these temperatures and are generally inexpensive.

With my freezer on a Kenmore side by side only getting down to 15F so it is hard to make ice, my repairman came in looked at the coils said they were clean. Asked how old it was and said I need a new compressor. Is more analysis needed than that? Can it be something solvable for less than $1000?

Hi, I have a Maytag that the freezer is working fine but the upper section is not cooling . Any suggestions? Thank you!

Old is gold, while new fridge or any appliances with too many functions are garbage. I have 20 year fridge in my garage working fine in harsh conditions, meanwhile a 4 years fridge with all the bells and whistles is struggling to keep it cool. But great video that k you.

What would be the cause of the freezer is working, but just not the other compartment?

Thank u so much My fridge and freezer wasn't working since 2 days and I have followed ur method and its started I have turned off the plug and remove the stuff from the back and it's now working perfectly

Excellent video 😆🙌🏼💯thank you

I have a side by side Frigidaire not cooling at its peak I crams the condenser and fan located in back I noticed the freezer walls in the back is iced could it be the condenser fan that is froze or the heater not working ? I’m getting ready to remove the panes inside to take a look . What should I be looking for ?? btw no experience in refrigeration 😳

Good review. Made a check list and will go through each step. Hopefully won't need repair service.

freezer side cools, fridge does not. I don't think the fan spins. Is there a video you'd recommend for fixing that?

We have a cool freeze combi . Only the freeze is working not the top . What can i do?

Kinda upset that unplugging for 5min and replugging could’ve saved the food in my fridge 😭 but happy I found this video so I don’t have to replace my food AND the refrigerator! Thanks for the info!

How long can you estimate after replacing a control board, the refrigerator to cool down, so i can put my food back in and get on with life? Please let me know.

Please let me know the temperature in freeze is showing 3 degrees instead of 4 degree, how to manage?

Very helpful tips and tricks. Thank you. My fridge is cooling well but it is making a loud noise. Could you let me know why I am getting the loud noise off and on from the fridge

I have a Gd5yhaxnl00 year 04, now and in the future, how do I tell if my refrigerator has a computer? Thank for your video.

Hi I have a Kenmore coldspot the cooling is not up to par I was able look at the coils underneath. They were quite dusty and clogged Iwas able to vacuum the front and the very back coil .There are more in the middle that seem next to impossible to get too. Any suggestions would be appreciated Thanks

I have a Whirlpool refrigerator, french door/deli drawer and bottom freezer. My vegetable drawer is freezing my vegetables. I had the temperature set at 38 and now I moved it to 36 and the drawers I moved the dial from the center to the left to low. My freezer is at 0 and its working fine. What suggestion can you give me?.

What do I look up in Google to find a professional who can help me fix my unit? I have done everything in this video and it still is not cooling well :(

Ive had my fan replaced, still collected Ice and blocked fan again. Then replaced electronic unit , but still temp won’t go lower than 50. I should say the freezer also freezes , but ice cream is soft. So both compartments aren’t keeping temp

This was very helpful. I put my hand on two of the vents in my LG fridge (located on the left hand side) and the top one I don't feel any air coming out of, the bottom one has very cool air. My refrigerator is not cooling properly. I've done all that you suggested too. Any more suggestions? I have discovered that very few companies repair LG refrigerators. Oh! Joy! I called LG and they gave me a few to call that are far away from my home. I wish it were easier.

My 2009 kitchenaid refer runs Google for 2 weeks than warms up. The compressor is fine coils clean evap motor runs. Is it the thermostat or the circuit board? Is the cooling sensor normally open or closed thank you

How long does it take for it to ues

I'm in the UK and have a rangemaster American style side by side refrigerator and freezer. I can hear the normal noise and the fan next to the condenser at the back is working and I've taken the bottom panel off where the fan is and sucked dust etc out with a vacuum cleaner but it is still not cooling. Any ideas?

Ur video is interesting I have a inverter frigadare its not freezing what should I do about it 😅😂

my Refrigerator still working but the cooling is not very freezing like always only in the under side but the top side is cooling just fine, even when i put it to the max level its still not enough all my drink just feel almost cold but not freezing what should i do?

We have Samsung four door fridge the cumpasor working fan everything but it’s not cooling what should be the problems

Thank you for the video. Returned from one week vacation with spoiled milk in the fridge. Seemed fridge was not cold. Checked the coil and it was caked with dust. Clean and reset and the fridge seems to be working so far. fingers crossed

:Your video was informational, Thank you. I have a question we have a 2015 Frigidiare the problems we are experiencing are the refrigerator keeps raising up to 65% and marking H Temp not allowing us to reset the temp. We have notice the freezer box in the fridge is condense with ice. We have recently unplugged the water line because this was happening every few weeks and since we did that refrigerator started working again but just for a few weeks again and we are experiencing the same issue. The freezer stays cold but not as cold to keep items frozen and the refrigerator at a luke warm temp. Any suggestions?

I have a new Deffy water dispenser refrigerator which just stopped cooling, what might be the problem,? If it s a brand new refrigerator

I have single fridge so what is right number setting for getting cool

Hello my ge fridge compressor runs for 5 minutes and then turns off for 8 minutes. Is that normal? Please answer me thanks

Hi I have a Beko American style fridge freezer top compartment evaporator fan not moving can’t hear it at all that compartment not cooling properly food tends to go off before expiry date I’m thinking of attempting to change fan myself I’ve located fan to purchase from Beko direct any tips

Hi yes I have A GE fridge less than a year old freezer is working fine fridge it at about 60 degrees I checked the back fan and Everything is clean I just now unplugged it waiting the 5 minutes to we if it resets I will be back to luk if that works or not and see what I can from there

Blake this is very important info. any chance you could turn the background music down, it is somewhat distracting. Thanks for your channel.

I have tested my heating element under my coils and that needs to be replace…and my evaporator fan is not working but don’t know if it is the fan itself or maybe voltage to fan that causing it not to work

Hi Am looking for a fix for my fridge. When we turn fridge off then back on all works as it should, it gets down to the correct temperature then doesn't kick back in to cool again. Have had a serviceman come to check unit, they said PCB board was faulty, got this repaired/replaced but i still have the same issue. Any Ideas on issue???, could it be thermostat? , Compressor PTC relay

The freezer is still works great but the refrigerator just won’t cooling. I did clear up the hole that in between freezer and refrigerator up, used hair dryer to melt the frost off, unblock the blockage. The first two times works, cold air start coming. This time, 3 weeks later, it won’t get cool anymore. What should I do?

Hi Blake, my refrig is strange recently. One morning I found everything melt (room T), I turned dial to coldest (both compartments), it did not kick in. Then I turned the dial to 'off ' (not power off), waited for 2 min, turned back on to normal settings, it started to cooling again. The same thing happened again this morning. Do you know what the problem is? Should I replace it? Thanks!

I learnt something so if the fan is broken how do you fix it yourself

Hey there I have a Kenmore elite stand-up freezer and I've had it off for a while because I became an empty nester but my refrigerators went out and to cool it down and put containers in it too because ice to put in the coolers until my refrigerators can be fixed but I need to know the correct temperature for the elite upright freezer I've got it down to one it was on zero I can't get it to register -0 but I got it down to one or zero and I need someone to speak to me to tell me if that's good

Do thermostats typically go bad and need replacing?

How long should it take to see the refrigerator and freezer are beginning to cool down? I unplugged for 5 minutes. It’s been about 20 since I plugged back in.still showing H1 and adjusting temperature.

I have a Kenmore refrigerator in my freezer is not getting cold what can I do

I have a 2016 LG French Door Refrigerator. And it is not cooling and barely keeping items frozen. Is it worth the money of $550US to have LG service person come out and fix OR take that money and put it towards a new Refrigerator? Or should I have it serviced and save up for a new fridge when it does fail again, hopefully when there's a sale going on.
