Refrigerator Not Cooling is usually one of a small number of specific, repairable causes — here's what to check and when it's worth calling a professional.
A long cool wet season means a cold gasket here rarely dries between cycles; it perishes and loses its set rather than tearing, which passes a visual check and still lets warm air in.
The compressor overheats compensating for restricted airflow and eventually shuts itself down as a protective measure.
Lets a steady trickle of warm, humid air into the cabinet that the compressor can never fully counteract.
This is a marine climate with a long cool wet season, so a cold door seal here rarely gets a chance to dry between cycles. A gasket that lives damp perishes and loses its set rather than tearing, which passes a visual check and still leaks — which is why so many of these arrive reported as a unit that runs constantly for no visible reason.
