A customer in Hope Island contacted ISB Electrical because their Electrolux fridge was not cold in the fridge compartment. The freezer section was still producing cold air, but the fresh food compartment temperature was too warm.
In many fridge freezer models, cold air is produced in the freezer section and then directed into the fridge compartment through an air damper. If the damper is faulty, stuck closed or not opening correctly, cold air cannot reach the fridge section properly.
The fault was caused by a faulty damper in the fridge compartment. The damper was not opening correctly, so cold air from the freezer section was not entering the fridge compartment.
Because cold air could not flow into the fresh food section, the freezer could still appear to work while the fridge compartment remained warm. This is a common symptom when the air damper or air control system fails.
The faulty fridge compartment damper required replacement. After replacement, the fridge should be tested to confirm correct airflow from the freezer section and stable temperature in the fridge compartment.
The customer was advised not to overload the fridge or block the internal air vents, as proper airflow is important for maintaining even cooling inside the appliance.
