Why is freezer cold but refrigerator warm?

Freezer is cold but fridge is warm

There is nothing more frustrating than when your freezer is working but your fridge is not cold enough! There are a couple reasons this could be happening, and you will want to fix the issue as soon as possible to avoid the contents of your fridge going bad!

Causes:

• Overpacked freezer: if your freezer is overly packed, the vents that allow the cold air to flow to the refrigerator may be blocked. When these vents are blocked, the cold air can’t enter the fridge cabin and therefore it will not be cold enough.
• Evaporator fan: the evaporator fan moves the cold air from the freezer into the evaporator, where that air is then pushed into the fridge to keep it cold. If there is a problem with the fan, the freezer will remain cold but the fridge will be warm.
• Defrost system: if your defrost system is not working properly, frost and ice can build up in areas such as the vents or evaporator coils. When this happens, this can cause your freezer to remain cold but your fridge to feel too warm.
