My Roper refrigerator stopped working today. I unplugged it, blew out the coils etc. plugged it back in and it went back to working. I checked on it throughout the day and it was cooling great. I just went back out to check it, and it had stopped. Unplugged it, plugged it back in and it went back to working. Weird thing, when I first went out and it was not working, it was making a hissing sound inside the lower unit. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I know nothing about fridges but there's a possibility that the power socket you plug into may have a loose connection. Each time you mess with it by unplugging and replugging the fridge begins to work again. Easy to check/fix. Of course it might always be the fridge itself that's defective but that's more difficult to diagnose given what you say.
Good luck...
