approx 15 year old GE "profile series". I've replaced the fan motor three t=
imes over the years.

Now it seems to not want to get cold enough. It has been hovering around 40=
 degrees for a few weeks now and the freezer at zero. Both are 4-6 degrees =
warmer than where they are set.

Is this fridge getting ready to take a shit on me? Or is it maybe just in n=
eed of a freon charge?

thanks all
tim

They don=E2=80=99t make fridges like they used to. I also have an old Sub Ze=
ro from 1992 that is still going strong. Replaced door seals & defrost timer=
 in 97 & condenser fan & motor last year. On 3rd ice maker.=20

New fridges have about 3-5 year lifespan. Pity.=20

Peace,
