Anyone knows how to fix a fridge? LOL
 
someones gotta know. I have one of those fridge where the freezer goes on top and the regular "fridge" (whatever it should be called) goes in the bottom.
The freezer is frozing up at the wall. Fan does not blow as hard, bottom shelf does not really get cold and the compressor line in the back is NOT HOT AT ALL.
Drain pan is DRY which has never happened before.

I suppose theres a clogged drain somewhere in the fridge?? causing it to froze up. Then the ice fooled the themostat and cause the compressor not to run? lol

unplug it and let it melt 100% like overnight then plug it back in

if your lucky its as simple as a frozen line and this will fix it

Defrost it. Just get a cooler and put your food in it and leave the doors open and turn it off. My freezer needs to be defrost since the rear drain is plugged and I've glaciers forming on the bottom of the freezer because of that. I just keep taking out the ice chunks every other week. :P

You have to dismantle the freezer to get to the drain.......

Just pull the ---- outta the freezer into a big cooler. If you leave it shut it will stay cold for a long time.

Just put a big fan blowing onto the freezer when you defrost it to move things along.

This is really the best options homie.

just got it done.
I took everything out of the freezer, took apart the panels inside to get to the fan and condenser. Hair dryer (AKA electric turbo) full blast for half an hour and de-frozed it all lol.
once everything melted the drain works again but then i don`t see anything blocking the drain hole, which lead me to belive its will forzen up again within weeks :l .
