Why is my Follett 18688 Refrigerator not maintaining temperature even though all components are running?
- A
  Andrea WashingtonAug 2, 2025
  Your Follett Refrigerator might not be maintaining the correct temperature due to several reasons. The condensor or evaporator coil may need cleaning. Another possible cause is a faulty door gasket, which should be replaced. Also, excessively high ambient temperature or inadequate air clearance can be the reason. The maximum recommended ambient temperature is 100 F (38 C). A refrigerant leak or incorrect refrigerant charge could also be the cause. In this case you should locate and repair the leak, or recover, evaluate, and weigh in the correct charge. Other possible causes are a plugged capillary tube (replace capillary tube and filter drier) or an inefficient compressor (consult technical services).

What to do if my Follett 18688 does not operate at all?

  If your Follett Refrigerator isn't operating, start by checking the power switch to ensure it's in the ON position and that all connections are secure. If that's not the issue, make sure the refrigerator is properly plugged in and that there is power to the cord. If the issue persists, the temperature controller might not be energizing the components; check the controller contact terminals for power and replace the controller if needed. It's also possible that the probe isn't sensing the set point temperature, in which case you should replace the controller and/or probe.

  If your Follett Refrigerator is constantly running, it could be due to the controller not sensing the cut-off temperature. In this case, replace the controller and/or probe. Another possibility is that the controller is keeping the refrigeration system energized, which would require replacing the controller.

What causes the compressor to not run on a Follett Refrigerator?
- A
  April GarciaAug 19, 2025
  If the compressor in your Follett Refrigerator isn't running, the thermal overload may be open or defective; allow it to cool or replace it. Alternatively, the capacitor and/or relay could be defective, requiring replacement as needed. In some cases, the compressor itself may be defective, necessitating its replacement.
