The model is GE: TAX10SNSALWH. Manufacture date: 5/94 and a single door 10'. When pugged in everything appears to be working-makes sounds and compressor is wam and humming but no temp drop inside. Fridge had been sitting in a friends garage unplugged for a very long period. Friend said it had worked fine before he unplugged it. Also he had left some spilled beer inside and there was a lot of mildew and mold that had built up inside that took a couple of hours to clean out. Also I had left it pugged in for about two days and still no cooling. I just read that refrigerators shouldnt be transported on their sides as I as I did and possibly there is now oil in the lines causing the problem. Any help appreciated Thanks! ROlf

If the fridg was not moved on it's side and the compressor is vibrating, but the condenser coils are cool, it probably leaked out refrigerant.If it was moved on it's side and pluged in right away, you have a clogged cap tube. Either way, fridg is not worth fixing.

But it was not plugged in for several hours after being moved to upright position. The coil direclty out of the compressor leading up to the condensor (if that what you mean by condensor coil) is warm but the condenser covering the back of the fridge is not-only room temp.

If the compressor is really hot, you have a clogged capillary, if not it's out of freon or a bad compressor.
