Common Reasons a Refrigerator Stops Cooling

Cooling problems may come from dirty condenser coils, fan failure, frost buildup, thermostat issues, or sealed-system trouble.

A refrigerator that is running but not cooling evenly needs careful diagnosis. Sometimes the repair is simple, such as a fan or defrost issue. Other times, compressor or sealed-system testing is needed before deciding whether repair makes financial sense.
