It’s louder than my 1995 Kenmore fridge. The fan works fine. But the temps in the fridge and freezer go way colder than the set temps. I cleaned the dust out from around the coils and now everything in the back panel is as clean as a whistle. I leveled the fridge. I let it sit for a few hours. What else can I try to fix this problem? Edited by user Wednesday, April 15, 2020 8:24:24 PM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

If the refrigeration of the refrigerator is not good, the frost will cause meltwater. You can turn on the temperature compensation switch in the fridge and let the temperature compensator work. The temperature in the refrigerator will rise, the number of runs of the refrigerator compressor will increase, and the refrigeration will be better. The noise The compressor base should be fixed firmly. If the noise reduced obviously after pressing the compressor with your hand. Then generally, it is caused by uneven force on the vibration damping rubber pad fixed on the compressor base or loose bolts, and the compressor base plate is not firm. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust and tighten the connecting bolts and change the washer with lost elasticity.
