Pat Adams for Model Number MRT18TRFW1 The fridge works sometime, and sometimes not, it's become unreliable. Fridge and freezer get warm (ambient) and interior light flickers whenever the refer door is open. I got PO'd once and slammed the freezer door (no ice), the unit kicked on and worked for a couple days, then stopped again. Slammed the freezer door again and it works. This has become a nightly-1 preventive maintenance check, but would like to really correct the problem. Thanks Pat
Answer Pat, In a lot of cases the reason the unit would warm up to room temp and not continue operation would be caused by a defrost timer that is sticking and not coming out of the defrost cycle. When you notice the unit not being on, instead of slamming the door, access the defrost timer and advance it and if the unit kicks on then that is the issue. Read More...
