granda080 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 So my father-in-law gave us this fridge...my wife has always loved it. It works but not very well. It seems to run smooth and it will get cool, just not cold. Does anyone out there have any knowledge on these old fridges? I don't really want to get raped by having a company come out and look at it. I just sorta want to know what it would cost to get fixed. I'd rather pay someone from here is all. It is a GE model LA-76 (I can't find any information on this)Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grapesmuggler27 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Will it need to be converted to a newer refrigerant?This is what I was thinking. I'm too lazy to look it up but what type of refrigerant is in it now? Some they had a direct replacement for some require new compressor and coil.

It only has one sticker type thing on the back and it only contains the model number, hp, voltage, and manufacturing location (Kentucky).
