Solve minor issues with Gibson refrigerator doors and lighting
Small issues like condensation, lights not turning on or sagging doors are usually easy to fix with a simple part replacement.
Light doesn’t turn on when door opens
This common issue is often caused by a worn or stuck switch. Follow our step-by-step guide on how to replace the light switch in a top freezer refrigerator to restore interior lighting.
Water or frost around the door seal
Moisture around the gasket or trouble closing the door usually means the seal is worn out. You can replace the press-in door gasket, foamed-in-place gasket, or follow the steps to replace a door gasket on a French door refrigerator.

FAQs
Q: Why does my refrigerator make a loud buzzing or clicking sound?
A: Buzzing can mean the ice maker is trying to fill without water, while clicking often signals compressor relay issues. Check the water supply and inspect the start relay.
Q: Why is my refrigerator not cooling properly?
A: A common cause is dirty condenser coils or a faulty thermostat. Check airflow, inspect the evaporator fan, and clean the coils to improve performance.
Q: Why is there ice on the back wall of my fridge?
A: This usually indicates a defrost system failure. Check the defrost thermostat, timer, or heater for damage and replace as needed.
Q: Why is water pooling under my refrigerator crisper drawers?
A: This often points to a clogged defrost drain. When the defrost cycle runs, melted ice has nowhere to go and collects inside the compartment.
