I have GE CB15DRD age 20 lid insulation-seal..complete lid panel needed...where do I find this...and what cost?

the outside is the condenser exchanging heat to the air and indicates that the system is working
you only have a problem if the inside is not freezing.
constantly running can be that the setting is too low numbers i -20 with 20 the coldest and the colder the setting the more loss through the insulation so the motor keeps running
the door or lid open or too frequently being opened
the inside iced up and needs defrosting
The light could simply be a power on light

You say refrigerator SIDE not cold? You would expect the outside panels of a refrigerator to be around room temperature or warmer as the fridge removes heat from inside the cabinet and expels it outside. If you mean the inside of the fridge is not cold then check the door seals are sealing correctly around the door frame. You could also check that there is nothing inside the fridge protruding and therefore inhibiting the closure of the door correctly.

If working fine do not worry about it. However, you can always throw a blanket or something over the top to insulate more and cut down on losses.

Hi,
Please check : - Your door ( gasket /seals, small air leaks) - Refrigerant level - Temperature sensor for failed
Regards,

replacing leaking evaporator on GE side by side. Watch this video to understand why its so expensive to fix freon leak issues.

if the box has mold between the seal and liner the the seal isn't the main problem, the main problem is the liner is bad and by time you got both parts if you can it would cost more than to replace the freezer.

you can put insulation over the wires no problem at all, the insulation it would have been is prob styrean. you can buy it in different thickness sheets

All you need is the model number


It gives you a list of all parts you can buy to replace what's broken, as for the frost try placing a sheet of plastic over the insulation, under the the plastic cover to keep moisture and humidity out of the insulation.

These units are pretty much manufactured, then the insulation is inserted as a liquid that forms into a solid insulation. Consider the age of the unit for a replacement IMHO.

if you can't find a replacement, use a piece of flat vinyl siding that goes on houses. You can heat it and bend it as needed, or cut it and screw the pieces to a balsa wood frame for lightweight support. Glue or epoxy probably won't work as the cold temps make them brittle but external caulking may be ok to hold the pieces together. Be sure to sand all edges and corners as the cut plastic can be sharp. If you can disassemble the unit and place the door face down, you can fill the cavity with insulating foam to help stabilize it.
