  If your Follett Refrigerator isn't running, first ensure the power switch is in the ON position and check all connections. It's possible the refrigerator isn't plugged in, so verify the plug is properly connected. Also, check if there is power to the cord and restore it if necessary. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the temperature controller might not be energizing the components, so check the controller contact terminals for power and replace the controller if needed. Finally, the probe might not be sensing the set point temperature, in which case you should replace the controller and/or probe.

Why my Follett Refrigerator does not maintain temperature?
- A
  Alexander RodriguezAug 20, 2025
  If your Follett Refrigerator isn't maintaining the correct temperature even when all components are running, start by cleaning the condenser or evaporator coil. A faulty door gasket could also be the culprit, so consider replacing it. Ensure that the ambient temperature isn't excessively high and that there's adequate air clearance; the maximum recommended ambient temperature is 100°F (38°C). Other potential causes include a refrigerant leak (locate and repair it), an incorrect refrigerant charge (recover, evaluate, and weigh in the correct charge), or a plugged capillary tube (replace the capillary tube and filter drier). If none of these steps work, the compressor might be inefficient.

  If your Follett Refrigerator won't shut off, the controller might not be sensing the cut-off temperature, so you may need to replace the controller and/or probe. Alternatively, the controller might be keeping the refrigeration system energized, in which case replacing the controller is recommended. A faulty control relay could also be the cause, requiring replacement of the control relay.

Why the compressor of my Follett Refrigerator does not run?
- M
  Michael GreenAug 26, 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. Another possibility is a defective capacitor and/or relay, which would need to be replaced as required. In some cases, the compressor itself may be defective and require replacement.

Why is my Follett Freezer not maintaining temperature when all components are running?
- A
  Amy WilsonAug 31, 2025
  Your Follett Freezer may not be maintaining the correct temperature, even with all components running, due to several reasons. The condenser or evaporator coil might need cleaning. Another cause could be a faulty door gasket, which should be replaced. Excessively high ambient temperature or inadequate air clearance can also be a factor; the maximum recommended ambient temperature is 100°F (38°C). A refrigerant leak or an incorrect refrigerant charge could also be the cause, requiring you to locate and repair the leak or recover, evaluate, and weigh in the correct charge. A plugged capillary tube may also be the reason, in which case the capillary tube and filter drier should be replaced. If the compressor is inefficient, consult technical services.

  If your Follett Freezer isn't operating (no components run), start by checking the power switch to ensure it's in the ON position and inspect for loose connections. If that's not the issue, verify that the freezer is properly plugged in. Also, check if there's power to the cord. If these steps don't resolve the problem, the temperature controller may not be energizing the components, so check the controller contact terminals for power and replace the controller if needed. Alternatively, the probe might not be sensing the set point temperature, in which case you should replace the controller and/or probe.

  Your Follett Freezer might not be shutting off because the controller isn't sensing the cut-off temperature, in which case you should replace the controller and/or probe. Another possibility is that the controller is keeping the refrigeration system energized, requiring you to replace the controller. Lastly, a faulty control relay could be the cause, necessitating its replacement.
