20 Most Recent Gladiator Freezer GAFZ21XXRK Questions & Answers

Gladiators are a unique breed from any other style of refrigerator for their convertible capabilities of altering which section you wish to be the fresh food or the freezer, and the ability to use it in colder ambient temperatures than a typical residential refrigerator. This unique capability requires the use of a reversible fan motor and and dampers as well as additional foam insulation. If the door was left open, you have likely a buildup of frost and or ice in these air ducts as a result. My advice, empty it out, unplug it, open BOTH doors, blow a fan into the cabinet for a minimum of 24 hours. The water coming from the suction line of the compressor could be a sign that there is a little too much refrigerant in the system, or that it is in a fairly warm area, or near some source of heat.

Hello,

It looks like the problem is from the fan, it is either the evaporator fan is not blowing or the fan is loose or covered with dust.

The fan is is at the back of the refrigerator, look at the bottom of the refrigerator, at the back, you will see the compressor and the fan.

Take care.

Check to see if there is cold air coming from the freezer to the refridgerator side through the vent holes The compressor maybe getting weak or the freon charge maybe low. Does the unit run a long time before it shuts off? 50 degrees is not cold enough for a freezer. You should be around 32 or less.

The video may help. https://www.google.com/search?q=freezer+wiring+diagram You may be able to freeze this video to note the wiring, although this only shows the thermostat wiring and is a bit fuzzy. Also an refrigeration appliance technician would know the wiring by heart and take 20 minutes maximum to work it out.

Hey. I dont suppose you figured out where the wires went all all? I've done the same thing ????
