Hello there people, my 6 year old refigerator stopped running this morning. It's no longer cold. All the frosts melted in the freezer compartment. I don't hear any noise coming from it. What could be the possible cause? and how may I fix it myself?
Model: Mitsubishi MR- V261GY-H (Rotary Compressor Model)
Refrigerant: R-12
One month prior to this problem. The fridge was producing a very loud noise but when i open the doors, the noise stopped. The noise came from " a small fan " visible at the back of the freezer compartment, when door opened the fan stopped spinning.
The lights inside the main fridge is still on now.
Is it out of refrigerant or it's something else? someone said it's the defrost timer (where is it located)?
Thankyou for the help.

Sounds like it is time to replace. I wasn't even aware that Mitsubishi made refrigerators. Buy a name brand such as Kenmore or GE.
Good luck

You Know, we went through this yesterday. I believe I told you If that "little fan" that was running and stopped, should give you a clue, shouldn't it.? It may have burned out, the motor. Your going to have to call in someone that knows The type of fridge, if your lucky, if you have to get rid of it, buy American, get a Sears, they Will come out for repairs right now, usually free with the warranty.
If that motor is gone, it may run you well into 200 or more for repairs.

Unplug both wires from the chilly administration and plug them mutually. turn one twine over and plug it into the different. far flung from the chilly administration.

If that doesn't artwork: The relay on the compressor might want to favor replaced A relay starts the compressor with a better voltage and then right now kicks out. it really is what's happend with yours it really is perfect for a tech to replace The relay yet you could do it Take your kind huge style on your community equipment factors save they could have a diagram, showing you techniques to position in the relay.

Probably died of OLD AGE, so just buy another one. If you pay to have it fix, you are just wasting your money, because it may out out again for another reason other than the original cause.
