10 Year old GE Profile Side by Side.
Insufficent cooling on refrigerator side regardless of thermostat setting in the normal range or all the way down. We have frequent problems where the refrigerator side is not cooling properly although the freezer side seems to do ok. Often it *seems* to be traceable to dust & lint laden condensor coils underneath; at least cleaning them makes the problem go away. This unit seems to be hypersenstive to dirty coils. Not sure if that is the case this time but while I wait to cleaning them cured it again I would like to know a bit more about this model. Where does the cold air enter the refrigerator side or does it just come over for the freezer side? Does the freezer 'stat run the show and the refrigerator 'stat just control air coming from the freezer side? I'd like to check if something is blocked. Besides the adjustable opening down by the veggie crisper I presume whatever else there is must be up by the controls and light. How does the cover panel come off? Right now while the unit is running I don't hear any sound of fan forced air inside the refrigerator compartment but naturally it's one of those things where I can't remember whether I'm supposed to or not; I don't recall what "normal" is. If there is an actual refrigeration problem I will get a pro in but as things are staying frozen on the freezer side if it something minor like a blocked damper I'll have a go at it. It seems likely it's something like that. I don't mind a little disassembly; I cleaned a plugged condensate drain on the freezer side a year or two back. |
