We have a GE Profile, bottom mount freezer, refrigerator, 9 years old. On Saturday it started making a funny noise. It also smelled funny inside, almost a burning type smell.
We turned it off, removed the contents, cleaned well behind the unit. We took the back panel off, cleaned all inside there. Left it unplugged for over 24 hours. We plugged it back in and seemed to start cooling. Today, the freezer is cold, fridge is not.
Anything else we can try?
Is it worth calling a GE repairman in at a cost of $100 (or something like that) to look at it or are the odds that the entire fridge needs replacing? If I need to replace the fridge I'd rather save the money I'd spend on a service call and put it towards a new fridge.
Thanks in advance,
MeggM
