I have a side by side refrigerator in the garage. This summer, when the weather was rather warm, it suddenly quit cooling. The motor kept on running, but the inside was warm.
I turned it off, thawed it overnight with both doors open and then it started working again.
I put a thermometer in the refrigerator section to monitor it.
The refrigerator worked fine for another couple of weeks, then the same thing happened, 65 degrees F inside, motor still running.
Again, re-thawed it for just two hours, with only the freezer section open, and it is fine now.
I vaguely recall some mentions of ice forming somewhere and blocking something, which agrees with my observations, but what exactly are the details here?
And what can I do about it? Does this problem happen only with side by side fridges?
Thanks
