Model Number: HTH17CBT2RWW
Brand: Hotpoint
Age: 6-10 years
Good morning,
I picked up a used, but great shape hotpoint (GE) T series refrigerator/freezer (HTH17CBT2RWW) for free a few months ago. The owners said the freezer quit working.
I bring it home and EVERYTHING worked great for a little over a week, then fridge and freezer were room (garage) temperature.
I unplugged it for a week, and plugged it back in. It worked for 3-4 days flawlessly. Then once again stopped.
I noticed a few nights ago after more in depth investigations that when I plugged it in, compressor and fan turn on, then after about 30 seconds I hear a click and the compressor shuts off.
I'm a mechanic, but no a troubleshooter for appliances/electronics.
Any help or insight is appreciated. I absolutely don't want to scrap this super nice, free, fridge.
Thank you
Ted
