"MidCentury WORKING GE Refrigerator" not cooling

[sarahperdue]

I keep asking for fridge advice and here I go again...

This "WORKING" refrigerator is listed for $100 just a few miles away from where I live in Tuscaloosa. I thought it would be a great fridge until I find one that I really, really like.

When I inquired, the seller told me how amazing and wonderful it was...it just doesn't cool. Sigh.

So what might be wrong and how complicated could it be to fix.

Thanks in advance,
Sarah

It depends. Compressor running? Not running? Trying to run?
