Helpers

If your refrigerator seems warm, it’s wise to check the controls before trying anything else. Sometimes kids, visitors or house guests adjust the controls without saying anything. You can save yourself a headache and expense by checking the controls before you request a technician to come and diagnose the problem.

Whether you call a service technician or try to repair the fridge yourself, you should know where the model and serial numbers are located on your fridge.  The information will be located on a nameplate, not a sticker, on the fridge.

Nameplate Information

The metal nameplate is found in one of the following places:

• Along the bottom panel; left, right or anywhere in-between.  
• Inside the fridge or freezer section, near the bottom. You may have to remove a crisper drawer to see it.  
• Remove the kick plate and look along the condenser air openings.  
• Somewhere on the back of the refrigerator, usually very high or very low, or possibly on any wiring diagram that may be pasted to the back of the refrigerator.  
• If you cannot find a metal nameplate, many refrigerators have a paper sales sticker inside the door. This will be an incomplete model number, but it is better than nothing.  

Basic Repair & Safety Precautions

Always unplug or trip the breaker on any refrigerator that you're working on. If you need to turn on the refrigerator, make sure any bare wires or terminals are taped or insulated. Power up the unit only long enough to perform whatever test you're performing, then disconnect the power again. 

• DO NOT chip or dig out ice from around the evaporator with a sharp instrument or knife. You likely will puncture the evaporator and end up buying a new refrigerator. Use hot water and/or a blow dryer to melt ice. If you use a blow dryer, take care not to get water in it and shock yourself.  
• Always replace any removed duck seal, heat shields, Styrofoam insulation, or panels that you remove. They're there for a reason. 
• Defrost problems may take a week or more to reappear. It will take about that long for the evaporator to build up enough frost to block the airflow again.
