Does your refrigerator keep running? Then this is the article for you.
To find the cause of the problem and fix it, simply check all of the components listed in this article, and hopefully you will find the cause and be able to fix it.
Let’s get started.
The best place to start is to check the temperature of your freezer. If the temperature is set to the wrong level in your freezer (above 10 degrees Fahrenheit or -12 degrees Celsius), this can adversely affect your refrigerator, as it’s much harder for it to keep cool, and it will keep running.
To check the temperature is set correctly, you simply need to:
The next step is to check the condenser coils to see if they are dirty. The purpose of the condenser coils is to help dissipate heat from the refrigerator while it is running.

The final step if you still haven’t fixed your refrigerator is to replace the main control board.
