All the lights still work and fans sound like they are running. Coils are dust free. Fridge was bought in 2015 and close to top of the line. I couldn't find my receipt, but I am thinking it was around $2k give or take a little. I feel like it has to be something simple like a freon leak or something, but not sure. And yes, I know I may be better off to go buy a new one, but it seems like a huge waste if this is a simple fix. Does anyone know someone who does appliance repair around west central AL? Thanks in advance. https://panolabrand.com/ http://www.youtube.com/user/PanolaProductions

Talked to my wifes uncle other day and he had the same problem with his fridge over Christmas, said he unplugged it for a while and plugged it back in and its been working ever since...worth a shot...

I looked at a couple Youtube vids, I'll have to check to see if it may be the start relay switch like Skinny said. Hevi- videos coming soon. Long overdue. https://panolabrand.com/ http://www.youtube.com/user/PanolaProductions
