Fault Diagnosis

Hisense Fridge Not Cooling

A Hisense fridge that stops cooling while the freezer still works usually has an air-flow, defrost or fan fault rather than a dead appliance. We trace the failed stage and restore cold air circulation.

Common causes

  • Evaporator fan motor failed
  • Defrost cycle iced the coil
  • Thermostat or sensor out of range
  • Damper stuck closed
  • Compressor start relay failing

Quick checks you can do

  • Confirm the freezer still freezes
  • Listen for the evaporator fan running
  • Check the back wall for ice build-up
  • Ensure nothing blocks the internal vents

When to call a technician

  • Ice is bridging the evaporator coil
  • No fan sound at all
  • Temperature keeps climbing
  • Error code on the display
