Morning all,
Just trying to get a starting point as to what to look at for my fridge freezer. The thing has worked great for years, both fridge and upper freezer portion both. It is a GE model TBXSASGRWH. I just recently relocated to NC and took the fridge with me so I could keep drinks cold in the garage. It was unplugged for qabout a week and never was on its side or abused during shipping. When i plugged it in here at my new place it worked great again. But for a couple months I had no reason for it in the new garage yet so I just unplugged it instead of just running it for no reason. The other day we bought a half a beef and I wanted to put some meat in the freezer so I plugged it back up a day bfore the meat arrived. The light comes on. You can hear it is running but neither the freezer or the fridge get cold at all. You have to put the settings at the coldest for both the fridge and freezer to even remotely feel any coolness in both areas. What could have happened in the time it was unplugged? There are no leaks at all. We have had a crazy amount of rain here in NC for like a month straight and the garage is EXTREMELY humid and kinda funky smelling just due to the humidity and mildew smell in the garage. Think that could have messed with something? Any troubleshooting start points would be most welcome.
Thanks
Sid
