This one is free. It never gets cold at all. It may not even run. Woah, it's an old daddy. A JC Penney model 1260 Model # on the tag 867-1260-05-00 I had the same problem, didn't get cold. Called the repairman, he said something was iced up in the refrigerator (don't cover any cooling vents with food). Unplug the Fridge, to deice. if you have a compressor, blow out the bottom. Everything is working fine now. Cost to repair...about $140, (to unplug it). Might be a good Idea, to replace the (on/off) relay too. maryjane DEC 28, 06:47 PM quote Originally posted by OldsFiero: No need to haul the old one away. They make great smokers for next to nothing.
