Freezer cold but fridge warm in Brampton — what is different locally
In Brampton this often turns out to be the garage or basement second fridge that large multi-generational households keep. An unheated Brampton garage drops below the appliance's rated ambient minimum in winter, and because the thermostat lives in the fresh-food compartment it reads the cold room as 'cold enough' and stops cycling — so the freezer holds but the fridge side warms. We check placement and ambient temperature first; on the primary kitchen fridge the same warm-fridge/cold-freezer split instead points to a failed evaporator fan, a defrost issue or a blocked damper.
