Make: Frigidaire
Model: FRT17B3JW
My fridge quite working yesterday. Figures its 2 months out of warranty...Go figure!
It's plugged into a GFI outlet and the outlet was tripped so I reset the outlet, opened the fridge door and the light inside was on but the compressor or fan weren't running. I closed the door and a few seconds later the GFI outlet tripped again. So I replaced the GFI outlet with a new 20 amp GFI outlet and the same thing happens. Light comes on but after about 15-30 secs the GFI outlet trips again.
I originally paid about $360 for this fridge and it's a second fridge for soda, beer, etc in the garage. I don't want to stick a bunch of money into it with a service charge, parts and labor. Any tips on things I can\should check to possibly diagnose the problem?? I'm somewhat technical but obviously not a repair man or I wouldn't be here.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
-Joe
