TTQ B4U Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Ok CR, our main kitchen side by side refrigerator died Of course I just went to Kroger yesterday too :fuuuu: Thankfully we caught everything including the fridge in time and moved it to the garage and a nieghbors house. However, now it's time to do two things: Buy a new oneRepair the old one? Does anyone here work anywhere that would be able to help pick out a new one? I'm not far from ApplianceSmart off Sawmill/Federated and am thinking of going there in the morning. Also, does anyone have a hook-up on getting this one repaired? Thanks for any insight!

Not Brian Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 What's wrong? 100% failure? Lights still turn on just not cold? Freezer work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Just went thru this. Sucks. Bought cheapest Lowes fridge to get by, then fixed main fridge with 3 buck ebay part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Yeah like Brian said, it could be easy or hard repair depending on whats wrong. I know Alex on here has a friend who repairs them as I have had him fix mine. If its a compressor issue 99% of everyone will say just buy new.

carl1647545492 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 1 Does the freezer still work? If yes proceed to check if fan is operating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 The lights and water dispenser work but both the Fridge and Freezer lost coldness. I hear something running like the fan but nothing is cold and I feel nothing blowing out of either side's internal vents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 call the manufacturer and they'll probably tell you what you need to replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1fast5gp Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Depends on the problem. What brand/model number is it? ususally you can google the model number and figure out what is wrong with it majority of the time because chances are, you are not the first one with the problem. I would guess it is the motherboard or condensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrblunt Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 My moms is an accountant at Capital City Appliance (right off of Fisher Rd and 70). Anytime we've had an issue they've been great to work with. It's at least worth getting an estimate on the repair costs before dropping 1500+ bones on a new one.

That's who I called and have used in the past. They've been great and did work us up wonders this time too. Turned out to be the thermostat which was an easy $40 part. $120 > $1,500 when it comes to writing checks. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=102712 Price is negotiable. As per our conversations, SOLD! Thanks Eli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVRINGS Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Well glad things worked out Tim. I can't wait to get a new fridge, but like you said above they aren't cheap. I just picked up a vent and cooktop a few weeks ago from the whirlpool warehouse around the corner from your office. Maybe after my job swap I will be able to do more, but we are about make the move I think soon on the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
