Fridge problems...help.
I have a GE profile fridge that the freezer side intermittently works/doesn't work and the crisper in the fridge side freezes the veggies now. The two problems started a few days ago at the same time. Luckily we have a chest freezer.
Besides shooting it and replacing it, any ideas of how to fix it? |

Call Frazod.

Bad temperature control. On our budget refrigerators it's just a thermistor connected to the temperature dial, not sure what it is on the fancier ones. Maybe a bad control board.
|
Model # would be helpful.
|
Needs the antifreeze changed most likely
|
Grandmother used to call them ice-boxes. I swear to god.
|
I got a refreshing cool drink out of the ice box and set it on a coaster on top of the chest of drawers

Your grandmother probably did have an ice box. |
had a GE also. the ice maker went on the fritz. several pieces broke down on several occasions. finally the compressor (?) stopped cooling.
piece of shit thing only lasted 7 years. find yourself a handyman. baconeater? my guess, get the checkbook ready. we are such a throwaway society. my garage fridge, which is my mother in laws, its going strong after 20 years. the new one (the trashed one), 7 years. smh |
The new GE fridges are complete POS that can't last worth a damn. From frozen walls in the freezer that hit the compressor fan making a loud racket, to ice makers that don't shut off when full, to bad temperature control, THEY SUCK!
My GE Fridge with freezer UNDERNEATH in a slide out drawer had the compressor completely blocked on Christmas Day and EVERYTHING in the freezer went to 40 degrees and all the ice melted. When the freezer drawer was open it was like a tsunami of water-I was freaking pissed and it ruined Christmas |
check if you're getting voltage to cold control, if not its the ADC board. If you are then look further down the line at the fans and the compressor (compressor start relay first).
|
Shoot it.

I was confused as hell. I couldn't understand why the dude wanted me to put my oranges in the freezer. What would be pleasurable about eating a frozen orange. I found out later from my grandma that ice box is what the old folks call a fridge. |
I have a Kenmore and had to get it serviced not long ago. The fan went out. I have an old fridge in the basement that's a beer fridge. It's a "Norge." Have to defrost it, but it runs like a mother and it's 50 years old!

The best tool to fix a fridge? A .357 snub nose revolver.

I'll post the model number when I get home.

I have a Whirpool and I've had to replace the start relay.
I've learned that getting dirty every six months, and investing in a flexible vacuum hose extension, is cheap compared to calling a repairman. And the one I did call ($350!) in 2005 taught me about these start relays, and now I always have a spare ($20)!!! |

He also calls the washing machine "the warsher." |

You're in Iowa? Is it snowing there?
If so I would suggest just moving it outside. Save you a ton of money on electric bills (offsetting the cost of a new fridge when the weather warms). Hell, you could even shoot it without fear of anything going wrong if you followed my advice. BEST OF TEH BOTH WORLDZ! |
