Why is my freezer not blowing cold air?
If this occurs, the freezer may still get cold, while the refrigerator will not get cold. To determine if the evaporator fan motor is defective, try turning the fan blade by hand.
What happens if the freezer does not have an evaporator?
On refrigerators with only one evaporator, the evaporator is located in the freezer compartment. If the evaporator fan is not working, it will not circulate the cold air to the refrigerator compartment. If this occurs, the freezer may still get cold, while the refrigerator will not get cold.
How can I tell if my refrigerator is blowing cold air?
You can test if the evaporator fan is operating by either listening to it stop and start when you open and close a door or if you manually operate the door switch, located in the door jamb which should turn the lights on and off and also turn the fan off and on when a door is opened and closed, you should feel the air come out of the vents.
Can a hair dryer be used to defrost a fridge?
Do not use a hair dryer on hot to defrost the evap unit and fan as this can damage the evap unit. Let it defrost naturally by disconnecting the power to the fridge and leaving the door open and occasionally using a hair dryer on the coolest setting for short periods at a time.
