GARAGE FRIDGE DIED...IS IT THE COLD?

Not that I’m aware of. Either move it inside or heat garage.

I'm in Mass and also buried in several feet of snow, so I have an idea how cold it is in your garage. As a matter of fact, you don't run a compressor in cold outdoor weather, which is basically what you're doing. AC units that were meant to run outdoors have a compressor heater, your fridge doesn't have one.

If the ambient temperature matches the temperature achieved through refrigeration, why would the refrigerator run? Is your beer cold?

2 possibilities
* crank sensor
*catalytic converter plugged

probably,there is a garage kit available that willallow it to work at colder temps,listed in owners manule under accessories the thermostat senses refrig compartment temps.soif garage temp is below 40 or so the thermostat just doen't turn the unit on enough or not at all

more than likely the defroster inside the freezer has gone bad. This defroster is located in the space between the fridge and freezer and activates to defrost the freezer and stop build up of ice in the freezer.. If it is bad the freezer will not keep the fridge nor freezer cold.

a fridge will not work right in an un heated garage

If your voltage is around 117v.you are okay.Any time you lose cold air except the freezer you probably need to check your evaporator thermostat and your heater.

it could be your cold control stuck turn it on and tap it a few times

hi there the problem you have is that the temp in the garage is to low, the fridge part of your fridge freezer has priority and will only activate the compressor when req'd ie. in cold weather the fridge may not need to switch on the compressor for days at a time this is when the freezer will defrost.
All you can try doing is having some very low heating in your garage in the cold weather

hope this is of help.
