Default 27yr old GE fridge sometimes works and sometimes doesnt


wrote in message
ups.com...
I have a 27 year old side by side GE refrigerator.

But if I unplug it, and leave it off for a few days, then
it starts working again for a few days. There was a light green liquid
on the floor under the fridge, but it might have come from something
that spilled.
I know the best thing would be to replace the fridge, but my mom LOVES
this fridge (why I dont know), and she wants to keep it.

Thank you.


The coil is freezing up. Could be the evaporator fan or the defrost cycle
not working. The liquid is probably a mix of spills and mold.

If you replace it, the new one will probably save $15 a month in
electricity.
