Refrigerator not turning on at all when plugged in

I have a mini refrigerator that I plugged in for the first time, and it is not working. The "wonderful" customer service told me it sounds like it needs a replacement box? The manufacturer's warranty requires me to ship it back at my own expense (both ways) and the separate company extended warranty advised that they don't cover anything until after the first year manufacturer's warranty. Easy solution? Would it be better/cheaper to call a local service tech?

First make sure that the plug is working that is supplting the power, plug in a light to test. If it is then it may be a fuse in the electrics of the unit, replace if it is broken. If u can not easily find this then take it to a repair shop. If it is not the fuse then a repair shop is yr only option.

Dear GE Customer Care Servicers,

GE Consumer & Industrial places a very high priority on product quality and customer satisfaction

and thus continuously assesses our product reliability. Recent analysis has discovered a potential

problem with the main circuit board on a limited number of refrigerator models, which could lead

to lower than anticipated life expectancy on that component. Therefore, if the main circuit

board fails, GE Consumer & Industrial will replace this part free of charge to the consumer until

further notice.

Models Covered: see attachment

The models affected are side-by-side plastic liner, side-by-side metal liner, bottom freezer two

door and bottom freezer French door. The models were produced between May 2005 and August

2006 (HH – RL serial range) and are included in this program. See enclosed list.

Potential Additional Covered Parts:

Specific parts involving the failure of the main board are included in this program. These parts

are limited to the following:

-Evaporator Fan failure, only if accompanied by a Main Board failure

-Dispenser Board failure, only if accompanied by a Main Board failure

The main board part number in cases in WR55X10552. Please use your normal warranty MA00 job

code for this repair. If you encounter an evaporator fan or dispenser board failure due to the

above main board, please include on your invoice and use the normal MA00 job code. It is critical

that you verify the proper functioning of the unit including the evaporator fan motor and

dispenser board before leaving the home to avoid a repeat call.

Units may be in or out of the standard 1-year product warranty and both instances are covered

under this concession program.

If you previously completed this repair and charged the consumer, please send a copy of the

service invoice to General Electric Consumer Relations, PO Box 10736, Norfolk, VA 23513 or fax a

copy to 1-877-299-0725 so that we may issue a refund to the consumer.

Sincerely,

Richard Zutterman

SOURCE: GE refrigerator not cold enough, again!

I emptied the freezer, unscrewed the freezer floor, pushed it out of the way, and saw the ice, just like last time. So I poured hot water over the ice, made sure the ice was all melted, even from below (under refrigerator), and put the floor back in - works fine, for now!

Well, it's under warranty. You take it back and ask for a replacement. You have given it sufficient time to cool.

How do i fix my refrigerator with no power but the in side light is on >

On the back there is the core that actually does the cooling. On my mini fridge there was a little plastic screw-like thing that all I had to do was turn it a quarter turn. This reset the core and it worked for a little while longer. Mine ran for a couple days the first time and later the lifetime shortened to hours. Before I replaced the core I sold it. Hope this helps out until someone else writes on how to replace or rebuild the core.
