Troubleshooting your Crosley side-by-side refrigerator when it's not running

Check for electrical power by seeing if the interior light turns on when you open the refrigerator door.

If the interior light doesn't turn on, check the electrical outlet for power. Reset the house circuit breaker for the outlet if it's dead.

If the refrigerator has electrical power possible causes include a control board failure, a wiring problem or a failed compressor. A bad compressor start relay will also prevent the compressor from running. Follow the tips in our troubleshooting compressor problems video to figure out the problem with your refrigerator.

What to do when your Crosley side-by-side refrigerator isn't cooling at all

If your refrigerator's not cold enough, first check whether containers are blocking air flow at the vents; the owner's manual usually shows where the vents are. High temperatures are also a sign of a control system problem, a failure in the air control damper, low refrigerant charge and other malfunctions.

A failed evaporator fan can prevent the refrigerator from cooling. Follow the troubleshooting tips in our Diagnosing refrigerator evaporator fan problems video if you detect no air flow through your refrigerator.
