Got a hand-me-down stand up freezer and ever since we plugged it in a week ago it is not getting entirely cold. The piping on the side of one of the shelves has frosted over, but the freezer itself is not freezing. Every diy video I have seen suggests removing a panel to expose coils and clean them but I do not see any place I can remove a panel within or outside of the freezer. Could the freezer just require more coolant, or could this be something else? The motor seems to be running since it is making a humming noise and that one pipe frosted over.

Hello and thank you for writing. It certainly sounds more like it could be a faulty run capacitor PS11757023, you should check the part(s) for signs of damage, and replace as necessary. You also want to check the door gasket PS11742411 to make sure there is no damage as condensation would build up. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime if you require further assistance.

My refrigerator stopped cooling and the freezer section stopped freezing
I knew the chances of all the freon leaking out was unlikely so I looked at the wiring to the compressor and there was a capacitor and a starter/overload so i figured I would start there. I went on line and found the parts at this site and they were less than the minimum service call charge for a service tech so I figured what the heck let's give her a shot so I did give it a shot. I ordered the parts and they were there in less time than a service tech could come out and i installed the parts and guess what for 90.00 in parts and 15 minutes in time I repaired my refrigerator. Thanks guys, It took less time to order the parts than it did to make the repair so thanks, your website rocks and is very well designed so my hat is off to you guys!

Lights inside refrigerator not working
I used a flat-head screwdriver to pop out the old light rocker switch. Then, I unplugged the wires, plugged them into the new light rocker switch, and then popped the new switch into the hole. That's it! Lights began working again.

Light Switch broke
An easy job for smaller hands. Removed the two bolts holding the light cover. Removed two electrical connections from the old switch by pinching the retaining clip,removed the switch, snapped in the new one and re-attached the connectors. Your online illustrations helped me to know that the plastic housing for the light switch would only swing down so far and was not intended to be removed. Saved me from breaking that plastic cover's tabs. This home repair saved me more than 5 times the cost of hiring a professional to do it. Very happy homeowner.
