Probably a $5 switch, which shouldn't cost you more than 10 X's that for a
repairman to install a new one. If my memory serves me incorrectly, about 10
ys ago, my folks had a similar problem, and it wasn't as big a problem as
they thought.
Over the past 5 yrs, I have typically
installed and/or repaired a number of things that I previously otherwise
wouldn't even have thought of attempting. I learned that if you've got the
time,
you can many things, and do them right the first time. All seriousness
aside, one time I built a UFO from scratch, and even tho it took me a 100
million yrs, it was well worth it.
<< I have a GE refrigerator side by side purchased in 2002. It costs $1000
at that time new. It stopped cooling. I cleaned the condenser in the back
rear of the cabinet. It started making ice again. The temp in the freezer
runs at +10F. Its 50F in the cooler section. The compressor is running
quietly, however, it never shuts off. The output high pressure pipe is warm
to the touch. Its not to hot to hold it. The drip pan coils are room temp.
It has at least two thermocouples. The evaporator is not iced up.
Is it OK?. What is the most likely problem? Compressor replacement is
$600. Could a compressor go bad? Any ideas on things to try?
