    What to do if my Follett Refrigerator does not operate?
    • R
      robert53Aug 13, 2025
      If your Follett Refrigerator isn't running, first, check if the power switch is turned ON and ensure it's properly connected. Also, verify that the refrigerator is plugged into a working outlet and that there is power to the cord. If these steps don't solve the issue, the temperature controller might not be energizing the components, so check the controller contact terminals for power and replace the controller if necessary. Finally, the probe may not be sensing the set point temperature, in which case you should replace the controller and/or probe.

    What to do if the compressor does not run in my Follett REF2?
    • N
      nicholedouglasAug 21, 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. Also, the capacitor and/or relay could be defective, so replace them as required. If neither of those steps work, the compressor itself may be defective and require replacement.

    Why won't my Follett REF2 Refrigerator shut off?
    • J
      jamie24Aug 25, 2025
      If your Follett Refrigerator won't shut off, the controller may not be sensing the cut-off temperature, so replace the controller and/or probe. Alternatively, the controller might be keeping the refrigeration system energized, in which case you should replace the controller.

    Why is my Follett Refrigerator not maintaining temperature even though all components are running?
    • S
      Steven GillSep 1, 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 Refrigerator does not operate at all?
    • J
      James Cruz IISep 4, 2025
      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.

    What causes the compressor to not run on a Follett REF2?
    • R
      Robert JacksonSep 8, 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.

    Why my Follett Refrigerator does not maintain temperature?
    • S
      Sandra BradyNov 16, 2025
      If your Follett Refrigerator is running but not maintaining the correct temperature, begin by cleaning the condenser or evaporator coils. Next, inspect the door gasket for faults and replace it if necessary. Ensure the ambient temperature isn't excessively high and that there's adequate air clearance. The maximum recommended ambient temperature is 100°F (38°C). If these steps do not resolve the issue, there may be a refrigerant leak, which requires locating and repairing the leak. Alternatively, the refrigerant charge may be incorrect, needing recovery, evaluation, and weighing in the correct charge. Other potential issues include a plugged capillary tube, which would require replacing the capillary tube and filter drier, or an inefficient compressor, which would require technical services...
