Hello,
I recently received the fridge listed above. It seems to work but the fridge will not cool below 40 degrees. Is there something I can to to get the temp lower?

Thanks,
Ken

Ken,

Check the freezer compartment back wall for frost or ice build up, check and listen and feel for the air movement from the freezer evaporator fan( air should be blowing towards you) and the door seals(especially the bottom of the doors.

Good Luck,
:) :) :)

Hello Joe,

The freezer is cold but there is no air blowing.

Bigstick,

If there is no air movement, and the back wall is not frosted or iced over, you'd want to check and replace the evaporator fan motor.

Part number: AP2071792

You'll need to remove the back wall of the freezer, to check.

At that high price, it's best to add a 1000joule surge protector to the wall outlet, available at Wall Mart, or ask this site, will prevent future burnout of this burnout prone item.
