nurkvinny Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 So I had big plans of working on the truck for Norwalk tonight, when I arrive home to, "honey, something is wrong with the freezer." About $100 worth of deer, fish, and shrimp blood oozing out on the kitchen floor. Spolied milk, chicken, eggs, you get the idea. The fan still runs, but compressor never kicks in. Anyone have ANY idea what this might cost to have looked at? I bought a new fridge tonight, but I want to have this one repaired for a beer fridge and/or to sell it.

Shields1181 Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Eeeehhhh...similar problem with my uncles freezer back in the day, he never got it fixed. You should just fill it with dirt and plant flowers in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sully Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 It might be the heating element that went bad. I know it sounds weird, but I had that happen to my fridge earlier this year. It's very easy to check this part. It's in the freezer side. You have to remove most if not all of the shelves and remove the panel in the back of the freezer. The heating element is probably toward the bottom held in by a couple screws. Not sure what brand yours is or if it makes a difference, but I have a GE fridge that's about 4 years old. The heating element was approximately $25, don't remember exactly, but it wasn't very expensive. I got it from Dayco Appliance Parts at 71 and Weber. Hope this helps.

Dave1647545494 Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 if the compressor is bad or its out of freon it will cost you more to fix it than you can buy a new one for..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted September 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Kegerator idea ---> no go. It's a side by side. Heating element ---> I had an ex-repairman suggest this or the deforst cycle timer. Cost to repair old one > new one ---> very likely. Paid $525 for one at Lowes that used to be $799. Plus, free icemaker. Woohoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 A: throw a block of ice in there. B: stop buying things that need to be refrigerated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
