Fridge Not Cooling? It Might Be a Dirty Condenser Coil

Is your refrigerator suddenly not keeping food cold? One of the most common causes we diagnose at Edmonton Appliance Solutions is dirty condenser coils. This issue can lead to poor cooling performance, wasted energy, and even complete system failure, especially in LG fridges and other modern brands we service.
🧊 How Condenser Coils Affect Cooling
The condenser coils are responsible for releasing heat from your fridge to the outside. When they’re covered in dust, pet hair, or grease, they can’t work efficiently. This causes the compressor to overwork, leading to:
- Warm fridge temperature
- Frost buildup in freezer
- Loud humming or clicking sounds
- Higher energy bills
⚠️ Signs of a Dirty Coil
- Fridge feels warm inside but the motor is constantly running
- Visible dust buildup under or behind the appliance
- You haven’t cleaned your fridge coils in over 12 months
🧼 How to Clean Condenser Coils (Safely)
- Unplug the fridge for safety.
- Locate the coils (typically at the back or bottom).
- Use a coil brush or vacuum with a narrow nozzle to remove debris.
- Plug the fridge back in and monitor for temperature improvements.
Note: Some LG models may have hidden coils or sealed systems. In that case, it’s best to call a professional to avoid damaging components.
