Default Help - fridge is dying fast

Stormin Mormon wrote:
What you have, is a fridge that's too complicated
for its own good. Hot around the magnet gaskets
is a convenience feature that reduces
condensation. The rest of the fridge being warm is
probably a bad GE circuit board. They made a LOT
of bad boards.

The fridge is typically on its own circuit
breaker. Have a helper stand with the door open.
You go try the breakers one at a time. The helper
yells and stomps a foot on the floor when the
light goes off. That's how to find which breaker
it is.

Replacing the circuit board will probably make
your fridge come back to life. The board retails
for $182. Plus the guy to come out and install it.


Everyone forgets my "Jesus Method" for finding a circuit
breaker. I have a plug with two wires that I short together
while turning my head to avoid the blinding flash and mini
explosion whilst shouting "JESUS!" When the smoke clears,
I go find the tripped breaker.
