11 year old top freezer fridge (not our primary). We got home from an extended trip and found that it had completely stopped cooling -- fridge was 58F and freezer was 45F.
Compressor does not run. Fans are not running. Lights in fridge and freezer are working.
So far I have unplugged for 40 minutes and replugged. No change. Tried "3 presses on the door light switch." No change.
There are no lights on the control panel in the fridge compartment. This makes me think it might be the main control board. But I'm reluctant to risk $250 or more without some definite indication.
What else can I try? I have basic mechanical and electrical skills, and a multimeter.
Thanks!
