A 12 year old refrigerator seems to have stopped going into


Posted: Jul 13, 2015

the long defrost cycle but it is running and cold and still cycles on and off.  Not sure what happened to it and not sure to fix it or buy a new one.  I dont know what it costs to fix whatever is wrong.  Maybe the defrost board is bad.

I haven't had refrigerator problems so far (thank goodness) but I have had good luck using repairclinic.com for troubleshooting problems with other appliances. Besides listing possible causes, they also have videos showing how to remove/install parts. Even if you don't repair it yourself, it may be of help in determining whether the problem would be worth fixing or if you should get a new fridge instead. YouTube is good for repair instructional videos too. Luckily I live near an actual repairclinic.com warehouse, so if we need parts, we can just run and pick them up the same day.

Did Anyone Recently Buy A New Refrigerator Top Freezer TypeJul 20, 2015
Energy Star and I am wondering how often they defrost.  This doesnt seem to defrost often compared to the old one.  It is a GE 17.5 cu ft.  Not so big for just two of use.  Much different than the 13 year old one.  I am starting to get paranoid anymore with the way things are made and issues with new things you get.   ...

Question: Food Left In The Refrigerator, In Cans. Does ItSep 20, 2016
I have someone insisting, to their last breath,  that I cant leave food in a tin can in the refrigerator for a few days or it's going to grow botulism.  Not even baby food in the glass jar and metal lid.   Can't even really leave a can of people food in there for even a couple hours until I use it again. I put cat food in there, left in the can.  When I buy meat baby food, I put it back in the refrigerator with the lid on it.   Every single time I am ...

Tax Refunds To Illegals Under Obama Immigration Action Would Be Stopped By BillMar 10, 2015
Whatever one thinks of the President Obama’s aggressive executive action on immigration—which is still being litigated in the courts—tax refunds for the affected illegal immigrants has itself become controversial. The IRS says that illegals can file and claim refunds for the last three years under the Earned Income Tax Credit. That is the same refundable tax credit that is responsible for billions in fraudulent refunds. IRS Commissioner Koskinen confirm ...

New Year's EveJan 01, 2011
Another year has come and gone.  We ended up going to the movies to see the Little Fockers.  It was pretty funny.  We went to the grocery store beforehand to pick up some snacks for today and then grabbed dinner at a fast food place the kids picked. Overall, it was a pretty good evening.  I went to bed about 11:30 (I tried but could not stay awake), but the kids stayed up till a little after 12 with DH.  After that, they went off to bed.  I'm actually looking ...

New Year's Traditions? Dec 26, 2013
Anyone have any specific traditions they do New Year's Eve or NY Day? Both of those days vary for us as we've gotten older. NY Eve we USED to do it up big, get all duded up, go to a banquet hall, dance, ring in the New Year with Champagne, leave after midnight. These days, we just go out for a quiet dinner with friends, or do a little thing at someone's house. Staying up until after midnight is optional for us these days, but we've been doing pretty good ringing it in. ...

How Is It Possible That A 76-year-old WomanFeb 13, 2014
Yeah, it's my mother. Maybe that says it all. She has told me she wishes she could change how she and my father parented my brothers and me when we were growing up. In the 60s and 70s nobody really thought about how to parent. They just did it, good and bad, so I'm dealing with the fallout of their choices just like every other person alive.  I think we've had the normal ups and downs, although my mother has been and continues to be a very critical, judgmental person, not jus ...

He has undergone craniotomy to stop the bleed, and has had most of his skull removed on both sides b/c of brain swelling. He was brought out of his coma last week and after three hours of no brain function and being told he was brain dead, his mother and brothers and sisters left the hospital and headed to church to pray with the youth group ...

Or, heck, even if you have many years ahead of you in terms of needing to work-work, I'm open to ideas. I am thinking of volunteer work. I do know that I don't want to sit around and watch movies all day. I'm th ...
