And just like that it turns into a new gun safe thread!Does it make any noise? If you post the make and model number that might help too. Could just be a fuse or thermistor, probably $2 or $10 parts, worst case your compressor blew up. If it's like a $1k fridge and you can actually get parts for it it's worth fixing. If it's a $400 home depot POS I would just get a new one.
Don't spend $250 + to be told your fridge is junk. Throw it out and buy a new one.Thanks all! Dracut Appliance, where it was purchased,
is going to check it.

So, it don't need to be that old to have R-22 in it. If it does its game over for that fridge. Even if you could replace the compressor to the 134 I believe the compressor is likely $500 just to buy it let alone replace and recharge it. You can get a new top freezer model for less than $1000 bucks.Thanks all! Dracut Appliance, where it was purchased,

That's all that would fit in my house!!Who the hell buys top freezer units anyway?
Bottom freezer so you don’t stand on your head getting into the drawers.That's all that would fit in my house!!
We had a 30in Subzero...when the house was being built, the kitchen planner argued with us that SZ didn't make a 30in...only 36Bottom freezer so you don’t stand on your head getting into the drawers.
We had a temporary 30” when ours died a few years back and it looked stupid sitting in the cabinets. It fit more food than the 33” POS GE Cafe’ without ice in the door we bought.
When this GE sputters my wife and I already decided not one penny will be spent on any repair or service. That’s how much we hate this box.

If you're fridge is running, you better catch it before it gets away.
Mine is 12 years old, I clean the coils 2-3x per yearI'd say if it's over 8 years old - just buy a new one.
My fridge is over 10 years old.
I have money set aside for a new one.
I'm no frills but I do want a stainless front.
No water or ice dispenser.
It's a miracle that it lasted this long!!!
I shrunk the size of this house by 2 feet too much in both directions. That had an effect on fridge sizes and a few other items.We had a 30in Subzero...when the house was being built, the kitchen planner argued with us that SZ didn't make a 30in...only 36
This is a good place to start.No one cleans the damn coils. too Late here but pull the fridge from the wall, set the shop vac to blow and clean the coils. I pull the back off and blow dust everywhere to clean coils and it saves the compressor. If you are a nut like me spray the coils clean with a spray bottle of water.
