My residential refrigerator stopped working a couple of days ago. I turned it off and waited overnight and turned it back on again, and it did not reset. Still not working. Approximately room temperature inside the box.
It is not possible for me to remove it from the alcove in which it is installed. The surrounding woodwork has to be removed in order to pull the the refrigerator out for repair or service.
I did pull the baseboard off so I could see the condenser coil at the bottom. It was extremely dirty.
I used a small portable vacuum to remove as much lint as I could. I can see another bank of coils behind the front one. I don't know how to access those coils. See attached photo.
This refrigerator is jammed in pretty tight. I think it is a poor design, where these coils are sitting right on top of shag carpeting. What was Thor thinking of?
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could do a better job of cleaning these condenser coils? Is there a magic trick to accessing the coils behind the front back?
I look forward to hearing any suggestions that other RV owners may have for me.
