  If your Dacor Refrigerator's freezer or fridge isn't functioning, not freezing, or not keeping food cold, there are several potential causes: * Ensure the power cord is properly plugged in. * Adjust the temperature control to a lower setting. * Keep the refrigerator away from heat sources and direct sunlight. * Make sure there's at least 5 cm of space around the fridge for ventilation. * Disable vacation mode if it's enabled. * Remove excess food to prevent overloading and ensure food isn't blocking the vents.
