Why it is doing that
Common problems
These start from the symptom and work outward: what the appliance is doing, what that usually means, and which of the possible causes is worth checking first. They are written to be read before anybody books anything, because a fair number of them end with an answer that costs nothing.
Why refrigerators stop cooling, in order of likelihood
The order matters more than the list: airflow accounts for most of it, and the sealed system for far less than people expect.
Fridge warm, freezer cold — the most diagnostic pattern there is
The appliance is still making cold and has stopped delivering it, which rules out the expensive answer almost entirely.
A refrigerator that never stops running
The food can still be perfectly cold while this is happening, which is why it gets ignored until it becomes a cooling call.
