Buy a condenser brush and keep that condenser clean on your refrigerator, it needs to breathe to run efficiently.

Did you know that ideal refrigerator temperatures are -5 to 0 degrees in the freezer and 38 to 42 degrees in the refrigerator compartment?

Ice-cream is “rock hard” at 0 degrees.

If your refrigerator is warm and the freezer is cold, you probably have a defrost problem.

Most defrost problems are with the defrost timer.

If you are changing the defrost heater, you should always change the defrost terminator also, and use one that is the next temperature higher.

All domestic defrost timers are externally “wired” the same so the numbers don’t have to match each other.

We see alot of these newer refrigerators with a “run” capacitor(a black rectrangle). If this part is not physically blowin up, its good.

Newer compressors have a P.T.C. start component. This is easy to check. When you remove it and it “rattles,” it’s bad.

To check to see if your compressor is bad you’ll need a meter. “Digital” is best. You take an ohm reading on each terminal. All pins have to have a different ohm reading.
