Hey, I know this is an older refrigerator but its been a good worker and I've been able to get it fixed in the past so hoping that's the case today.
Last week we had some severe storms with tornadoes come through the area and it knocked out power for about five or six hours before coming back on. Afterwards I noticed the fridge wasn't kicking off and on like it usually does. I checked the back and the compressor(?) was hot and I noticed a lot of dust build up so I blew it out... a lot of dust came out, it was definitely overdue.
However I can't get to the coils to adequately clean them. The opening is snug towards the side wall to where you can't do anything.
The unit occasionally kicks on and off but not like it had been. A check with an infrared thermometer has had the freezer as high as 27 (scratch that, just checked it - 31) when before it's been in the single digits.
So two part question... First is there a way to open up and pull out the coils to clean them? Second if this doesn't fix the problem (and I'm thinking there's something else) what's my next place to look at?I
Addendum: The fridge just kicked on. I checked and the fan is blowing at 3 degrees in the freezer, and the fridge is showing 35... good air flow all the way around... it's working, just not as routine as it was... which makes me think something else is going on.
