1988 Hotpoint GE no frost refrigerator-freezer: CTX18GKER stopped working. I did find the refrigerator gasket was broken and i did Replaced it . Now the fan inside the refrigerator are working but the air is Hot while the compressor fan start working and stop every 3 second with a click. After few minutes the compressor fan start again and after 3 seconds stop again with a click. I touched the compressor and it has normal temperature. This refrigerator was Uploaded in 1995 do to a recall.
Hi, Does the compressor run continually trying to drive down the temperature? Is the evaporator unit in the freezer compartment icy cold to the touch, (be careful when you go to test if it is or not)? If the compressor is running and the evaporator unit is not cold then there is a problem in the sealed system. This could be due to a blockage, a faulty compressor or a lack of refrigerant. Is there an oily residue below the compressor or condenser coils at all which may indicate a leak? The high and low pressures of the sealed system will need to be checked by a licensed refrigerator repairer (at least here it does due to government environmental regulations regarding the handling of refrigerants) to find out what and where the problem may be.
