Kelvinator Fridge Running Continuously
A fridge that never stops running wastes power and signals an underlying fault.
A Kelvinator fridge that runs non-stop is working too hard — usually because of a door seal leak, a dirty condenser, a defrost fault, or a failing thermostat. Left alone, it shortens compressor life and spikes your electricity bill.
We find why your fridge can't reach its target temperature and fix the root cause, so it cycles normally again.
