"Works but doesn't cool"

Well, at least it tries......

 

Beautiful refrigerator.

Lawrence,

It is beautiful, isn't it? I'm guessing by "working" they mean that it runs when plugged in vs. nothing. Jeannine

It probably also means it just runs and runs and runs....  That, sadly, likely means the compressor is shot.    Too bad - those Americana refrigerator/freezer units are neat!

Works But Does Not Cool

On this ref it could be a bad fan motor or a bad defrost control or a bad thermostat or a bad relay, but if everything is running it is more likely to have a Freon leak than a bad compressor.

GE refs after about 1964 did not have the compressor problems that plagued all GE refs from the mid 50s through about 1962-3.
