# Fridge not cold or cooling

If your refrigerator isn't cooling properly, here are some troubleshooting steps you can take:

**1. Check the Power Supply:**

- Ensure the fridge is plugged in and that the outlet is functioning. Test the outlet with another appliance or check the circuit breaker.

**2. Inspect the Thermostat:**

- Make sure the thermostat is set to the correct temperature. Adjust it and see if the fridge begins to cool.

**3. Clean the Condenser Coils:**

- Dust and debris on the condenser coils can hinder cooling. Locate the coils (usually at the back or underneath) and clean them with a vacuum or brush.

**4. Check the Door Seals:**

- Inspect the door seals for any gaps or damage. A faulty seal can let cold air escape, preventing proper cooling.

**5. Ensure Proper Airflow:**

- Make sure there’s enough space around the fridge for proper airflow. Remove any items blocking vents inside the fridge or freezer.
