Whirlpool refrigerators?

Question

My freezer unit is blowing warm air and my refrigeration unit is not working at all. This happened following a power surge during bad weather. The refrigerator is about 8 years old. Can anyone tell me if this is a compressor problem or something minor.

Answer 1

to get it fix it not going to be worth it. If you do get it fixed, you might as well get a new one cause a repair man costs a lot even with a warranty. Um, you can get them at like Best Buy for 400.00 and up. Plus your refrigerator is 8 yrs old. Id get a new one every 5-7 years cause they do wear out. Yours is probally really worn out. Good Luck. Hopes this helps!!

Answer 2

Sounds like your icebox lost its refigerant. it is not too expensive to have it charged but where is it leaking? that is what could cost you. I would call a repairman and get an estimate and consider the cost of repair, used and new.

Answer 3

On the least side...the defrost timer may be stuck ... try unplugging it for 15 minutes and plugging it back in....lotsa luk !!

Answer 4

I would say its going to be very expensive to fix.

That sounds like the condensor and refrigerant portion of the motor got hit hard.

You may want to get a new fridge, it might be cheaper than the fix.

Answer 5

If your frig is not under any kind of extended warranty, think about what company you would purchase one from. Then call them about sending out a repairman.

Through personal experience, I did this and the repairman said that the frig was 'shot' (not literally!) and if I purchased a new one from that company, the cost of his visit would be deducted from the purchase.

Look into and call and ask. LOL
