A fridge should cycle on and off. If yours runs non-stop, it is struggling to hold temperature — here is why.
Dirty Condenser Coils
Dust-caked coils cannot shed heat, so the compressor runs continuously to compensate.
Fix: Vacuum the coils underneath or behind the fridge every 6–12 months.
Worn Door Gasket
A leaking seal lets warm air in around the clock.
Fix: Test with a dollar bill — if it slides out freely, replace the gasket.
Faulty Defrost System
If frost blocks the evaporator, airflow drops and the compressor runs flat out without cooling well.
Fix: A technician can confirm a failed defrost heater or thermostat.
