Resetting a residential refrigerator that has stopped producing cold air involves clearing temporary electronic glitches and power faults. First, perform a hard electrical reset by pulling the refrigerator's power plug out of the wall outlet and leaving it disconnected for ten minutes to let internal control boards and relays reboot. Second, check the internal mechanical thermostat dial or digital control panel, turning it off for one minute before setting it back to the recommended medium temperature. Third, check the condenser coils and evaporator fans for obstructions. You can troubleshoot internal temperatures using an independent thermometer. You can verify that your reset and troubleshooting steps are successful when restoring electrical power causes the compressor to kick on and stable cooling temperatures return to your food compartments.
