my fridge in my cedar creek has been working flawless and keeping everything cold and frozen better than the one in my home. as of 2 days ago it started only to slightly cool in the freezer and nothing really in fridge on gas mode or electric mode. I took the back off and no fuses are blown and you can hear it switching over to gas and see the gas part working. my question is what could it be? almost seems most of my gas has leaked out and now barely cooling. any advice would be appreciated on what else to check. thermostat etc etc.. thanks randall

    I have never smelled anything weird and haven't seen any signs of leakage. also the temp sensor is still on my fin inside the fridge in original position I seems. I never knew these things didn't have a compressor. kinda cool how they work. im going to check it out in more detail tomorrow. thx for the help. any more any appreciated a lot. randall

    Open up the outside access panels and look very closely at the coils. Do you see any yellowish staining? Do you smell an ammonia smell? You have a leak. Two choices. Residential refer replacement or Amish cooling unit. It is possible if there are no signs of leaks that either the control board has crapped out or the temp sensor on the right front corner of the fins may have moved.


    x2 check the sensor on the fins inside the fridge
