Refrigerator Running

I called the store where I bought the refrigerator and when they found out where I lived, they said that although they have a 50 mile delivery radius from the main store, they only have a 10 mile service radius, so they don't service in my locale. Too bad they don't tell you that when you're buying. Is that legal?

BTW - I've been asking around by email for someone to help me store the things in my freezer. So far all I have done was be ignored or refused. It isn't that much - 2 packages of meat and some frozen bags of veggies.

What do you mean by re-set? It was working fine at the setting I had them on until a few days ago. However, I forgot whether increasing the digital number makes it colder or warmer.

Set both in the middle of the range. Then you may have to reset later for warmer or colder refrigerator or freezer. I doubt you need -40F in your freezer.

Re being able to save frozen meat. There are insulated bags you can buy that will keep frozen meat for quite a while while you are defrosting.

Especially if you have a picnic cooler full of ice.

I won't be posting here for awhile. So good luck.

Maybe they don't have room for your food. Cook it and eat it. Or cook it and donate it.
 

Cautiously optimistic. Re-started this morning after leaving the power to it off yesterday and all night. I just checked and the refrigerator seems cold enough (I put a thermometer in it to get an accurate temp.) and IT ISN'T RUNNING!
 
Like DonM said trying cleaning the condenser coils. Sometimes there is a foam filter in front of where the air is sucked in that could be dirty. Check and make sure nothing is near any vents in the fridge or freezer. When fridges get old you can't stuff them which you shouldn't do new either. I've had similar problems and troubling shooting on mine says thermostat and/or timer switch which is attached to how cold dial.

Curious were there any recent power failures. Fridges don't take power surges too well, even the surge from power coming back on.

Cleaning the coils has nothing to do with it. Here is the evidence. -40 for the freezer and 54 for the refrigerator shows why it was running constantly. It was trying to get the refrigerator setting down to normal. There was ice over the controls.

Don't take that to the bank. That's my opinion by the process of elimination.

You might want to check your thermometer, too. Household freezers only operate to -20, not the -40 you said your thermometer indicates.
