Our extended warranty expired a few months ago so our GE refrigerator broke down right on "schedule".
The unit appears to make all the sounds it's supposed to but the fridge half isn't working. It's not cold and the light doesn't work. If I unplug it, and plug it back in, it seems to work for a few minutes and then the problem returns.
The freezer side was zero degrees like it's supposed to be, lights work, icemaker and water dispenser both work normally, etc.
On the off chance there might be some ice built up somewhere in the innards of the beast we emptied and let it warm up but no water appeared and it still doesn't work.
The silver lining is that a few years ago I bought one of those gizmos that turn a freezer into a refrigerator. We have a chest freezer that will be empty until turkey butchering day and the gizmo is working great. And there was BARELY enough room in our other freezer to fit the frozen contents of the broken unit. But if you thought finding something frozen in a chest freezer was fun, imagine digging through a thoroughly stuffed chest every time you needed to get something from a fridge.
