    Default Refrigerator Problems

    I have an old beer fridge in my garage that has worked great until recently. Things are cold, but not really cold. The freezer barely freezes water and the fridge portion is warmer than usual. There was a small amount of ice on the evaporator that I defrosted. I also vacuumed out the back areas. All the fans are functioning. Any other thoughts? Is it just time for a replacement? Thanks.

    sounds like its getting low on coolant might be worth repairing

    I assume I have to have a technician come out to do that?

    you can do it yourself, but you will need parts and tool might be easier to call a appliance repair place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNL-cQAQ5Oc

    This is not enough info to make a diagnosis. The refrigerant system is a sealed loop. It would have to leak out to be low.

    What is your make and model? What are the Temps it's producing?
