    We had this for about 3 years and it just quit working one day. Looks like a common problem. From the video I learned never to buy a Galenz fridge.

    last night I messed with the temperature on my galanz fridge, only to find out today it stopped working. All I did was bang as hard as I could against the temperature knob and the compressor started right back up again!! Try it!!!! I know it sounds stupid but sometimes if even if the fridge is being loud, if you bang on it, it makes it quiet.

    Please please suggest to order online buy

    If you keep it outside. It stops working when temps go below 50. Because the fridge thermostat controls the freezer too. The freezer shuts down so it doesnt over freeze

      Same issue and it apparently keeps freezing over, you’ll have to use a hair dryer and defrost it, it’s a pain to take apart the top. I can see these have faulty defrosting but Galanz website is down and the tech support is literally no help and won’t even call you back… I’ve tried 3 times. I have been trying to find the part but cannot.

    I have the same fridge and same problem! My fridge is only 9 month old. I called Amazon where I got it, and they gave me a non-service number! Can some one tell me where to call? Bad product and very bad service as well!

  • @deadduckcoc

    Anybody- please let me know if my solution works for you!! I opened up my fridge earlier and the ice was all melted, after watching several videos I just got mad at the thing and banged on the temperature knob very hard. It started right back up. Sometimes it needs banged against for the knob to know where it’s set at.

    Same issue and the fridge is not even 2 years old. We replaced the parts as shown and now all the fridge does is click. Called Galanz and they ONLY service units that are still under their crappy one year warranty.

  • @MrRussCornell
    @MrRussCornell ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is a 50/50 chance on working, when moving the Refrigerator unit around the Condenser could brake or crack no Good after that, unless you can replace it.

    Mine less than 2 years old. I was just using it as an 2nd unit for my wife's cooking side business. It turns on but neither the fridge nor the freezer compartment works. This happens whenever I buy cheap appliances, I'll just save up money for the more expensive models.

    Apparently they said that if the overload and the relay don’t fix the problem it will not work without replacing the compressor I think is what the guy said, and that has to be done my a professional and it very costly . More than what it cost to buy a new one

    Galanz has very poor customer service. I have one only a year old and quit cooling. Contacted galanz and they finally gave me a number to call that handles their parts and had hard time getting them to even answer, after 17 minutes on hold they gave me a price of $85 for relay plus shipping. Very disappointed in galanz …. Probably will take to the dump and purchase another fridge with better quality and customer service.
