Question about Magic Chef CTB1722 Top Freezer Refrigerator
I have a Magic Chef Over/Under Refrigerator that has been in storage for a while. When we plugged it back up, it wouldn't cool at all. I've checked everything I know to check. Compressor starts up fine. Condenser fan is good. The only odd thing I noticed is that the evaporator fan only runs when I turn the defrost timer to the defrost mode. The compressor quits and the evaporator fan comes right on. When I keep turning, the evaporator fan turns off and the compressor comes right back on. Should that not be the reverse? In making my way to the evaporator fan I took the bottom freezer panel out. I've noticed that the evaporator tubing/coils aren't the slightest bit cold. Should they be cold without the fan going or does the fan cause them to become cold somehow? I appreciate any help. I'm at a dead end on this one. By the way, my actual model number(in case it matters) is RB23G -3PW but that one wasn't listed.

They'd at least be cool to the touch regardless i think. This seems dead, I had one that would clink alot. Try unplugging it, moving it away from the walla a bit and plugging it in with the freezer all the way to a 0 setting then work it up to full slowly hope this helps!

Hi,
Many times a freezer and/or refrigerator do not work right because of a dirty condenser coil...there are also many other things that can go wrong.
If you are hearing a clicking or buzzing then check out the last two tips.
If your refrigerator is running but warm, then...
Check out these tips that I wrote about that... it is a great place to start trouble shooting your unit...and something that you can do rather then calling a repair person to do a simple thing for you...
