IS YOUR REFRIGERATOR: Not as cold as usual? 
Not cold at all? 
Frozen in the freezer side, and warming up in the fridge side? 
Whistling, warbling, chirping, clicking, or buzzing? 
Frosting up? 
Pooling water or ice on the floor? 
Our refrigerator repair manual can help! 
Save time and money! Most refrigerator repairs can be accomplished in one afternoon, with no special tools or knowledge other than this service manual. Tired of reading complex thermodynamic theory in a refrigerator manual? Don't you really just want to know basically how the bloomin' thing works, and then get on with fixing it? (over 95% of all repairs have nothing to do with Freon. We tell you how to diagnose sealed system troubles, but we recommend you call a professional for these problems.) Our refrigerator manual cuts out all the unnecessary theory and sealed system repairs that the novice will never perform. Instead, we focus on diagnosis and repair procedures for the most common symptoms, such as no cooling, ice or water buildup, noisy operation, electrical troubles, etc. Covers all major appliance brands commonly available in the US, including Whirlpool / Kenmore / Coldspot, GE / Hotpoint, JC Penney, Amana, Norge, Westinghouse, Philco, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Montgomery Ward, Signature and many others.
