re: Refrigerator: Repair or replace?

Just had a similar problem. Last weekend the power went out in my area twice... each time for several hours. About a day or two after started noticing the refrigerator wasn't cooling but freeze was still working like a champ. The fan was frozen up. I called a guy I know who works on appliances as a side job. He use to work for a business that sold appliances. He fixes refrigerators and washer and dryers. He has saved me some money over the past several years. Anyway, he came over, took off the panel in the refrigerator, broke out a hair dryer.. In about 20 mins he had it working. He charged $100.. With that said, you know anyone who works on appliances? Give them a call.

1) Freezer to Frig fan .. cheap to replace. (simple to see if fan is turning)
2) Defrost timer .. cheap to replace. (possible culprit if coil is frozen)
3) Heater Switch .. cheap to replace. (possible culprit if coil is frozen)
New Frig .. not cheap to replace.

This. Just do it yourself. I had to do this twice to my side by side. Easy, just takes time.
