Refrigerator problems

The thermostat controls the temperature of the refrigerator. If the thermostat is set incorrectly, the refrigerator may not cool properly. To adjust the thermostat, consult your refrigerator’s owner’s manual. If the thermostat is set correctly and the refrigerator is still not cooling, there may be a problem with the compressor.
