How can I troubleshoot a refrigerator that isn't cooling properly?

Answer by  olive8 (911)

One of the first things you may want to try is to adjust the internal temperature settings. Often, a fridge will have a dial with the numbers 1-6 on it, 1 being warmest, 6 the coolest. Fiddle with this till it's just right.

Make sure that it is probly hooked up to the water and electricity and that the outlet it is plugged into is designed for high voltage of fridge and is plugged up. I would also check on the coil in the back and make sure that it is not dirty or overheated

First check the seal to see if cold air is leaking. Feel the coils in the back to see if they are working, they should be warm.
