Freezer cold but fridge warm in Erin Mills — what is different locally
This is a classic call in Erin Mills' 1970s-80s detached homes across Credit Valley, Erin Meadows and Sheridan Homelands, where many fridges are now well past 15 years. A freezer that still freezes while the fresh-food side drifts warm usually points to an automatic-defrost fault — a frosted-over evaporator coil, a failed defrost heater or timer, or a stalled evaporator fan — rather than the sealed system. We check the airflow path between freezer and fridge and test the defrost circuit before quoting any compressor or refrigerant work, and we carry the common defrost and fan parts.
