Sebastian for Model Number LFC23760SB My freezer is not maintaining the items in a frozen state. Does make ice but slowly, like one tray per day or two. The temperature in the non freezer section is also not as cool as normal. I set the setting to max (7) for both and that did not make a noticeable difference. We did just come out of a three day heat wave (100 degrees). I don't have air conditioning in the house. The weather has returned to normal now at 82 degrees and perhaps refrigerator is working a little better. The refrigerator is about 10 years old. In the past, this condition has happened several times over three years but each time returned to functioning properly. Does the refrigerant (R134A) need to be reloaded/recharged?
Answer Sebastian, the ambient temperature can impact the performance of a refrigerator and cause it to not cool properly. Once the ambient temperature, where the refrigerator is, reduces to 89°F the refrigerator will be able to operate properly. The freon would not have to be recharged unless there is a freon leak, and in the case of a freon leak, a certified technician would be needed for repairs. Read More...
