Hello~
I hope you can help me get a smile back on my daughters face. Her refrigerator has stopped getting cool and the freezer is cool like the fridge should be..also the icemaker is not making ice cubes. I do not want to have to go out and get her another one..I also read on another web site that it may need freon?? if fridge is not getting cold? can you you help me? look forward to your reply. Also what about the filter for the water? how do you know when to change it..had no date.
thank you in advance
Rose Michelle :confused:
Ok the condenser,compressor and fan are running..cleaned off coils and fan. cleared offf all dust. Does that help any?

HI.
You need to give me more info to work with.
Check if: compressor, condenser motor, evaporator motor are running.
Are the condenser coils clean?
Please post the results.
Simon.

You will need to pull the back off and feel the compressor, if vibrating and hot and condenser coils room temperature, you probably have a bad compressor.

All syptoms point to a bad compressor. You might want a pro to look at it to conferm.

Simon. Simon~ I checked the compressor,condensor motor, and evaporator motor are running. we also cleaned off the coils..so can you tell me if we can replace it without bringing a pro in to tell me the same thing? and what part are we needing to get,how much will it cost. I appreciate a response asap..thank you. Rose Michelle

Hi.
It's the sealed system problem. You can't fix it without the specialist.
Contact local repair company for the estimate.
Thank you.
Simon.
