Repair help for common Tappan refrigerator problems

If your fridge is warm, leaking or running constantly, the issue may be a failed sensor, control board or defrost component. We’ll help you find the part and the right repair.

Refrigerator isn’t cooling evenly

Inconsistent temperatures between the fridge and freezer may point to a faulty thermistor or diffuser. The thermistor senses internal temperature and communicates with the control board. Use our guide on how to replace a refrigerator thermistor to get the cooling system working correctly.

Control panel is blank or the fridge won’t turn on

If the refrigerator display doesn’t light up or the compressor won’t run, the electronic control board may be damaged. Our step-by-step guide on how to replace the electronic control board in a top-freezer refrigerator walks you through restoring power and control functions.

Fridge is always running or can’t hold temp

Faulty sensors and overworked motors can cause the refrigerator to cycle constantly or never reach the set temperature. Diagnosing refrigerator thermistor problems is a good place to start. You can also check for related error codes that indicate control or defrost issues.

Tappan refrigerator FAQs

Q: How often should I replace my refrigerator water filter?

A: Every 6 months, or sooner if your water tastes off or the flow slows. Old filters can let contaminants through or clog the system.

Q: Why does my fridge smell even after cleaning it?

A: Hidden food spills, clogged drains or mold in the drip pan can trap odors. Use baking soda or charcoal filters to absorb lingering smells.

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.

Q: Do I need to replace my refrigerator’s air filter?

A: Yes. Replacing the air filter every 6 months helps reduce odors and prevents mold or bacteria from forming inside the fridge.

Q: Why is my refrigerator making popping or cracking sounds?

A: That’s typically normal. It happens as plastic expands and contracts during cooling cycles—but loud, frequent noises could mean ice buildup or a faulty fan.
