Pull the front vent cover off the bottom of the front of the fridge. Is there a lot of lint type substance? This can cause the fridge to be 10-15 degrees warmer. Vacuum the coils will help keep it cooler. These should be vacuumed every 6 months if you have pets or at least once a year.
Look under the drawers of a Freezer on Top, Fridge on bottom to see if you find any water or in the bottom of the Freezer on a side by side refrigerator. You may have noticed water leaking onto the floor. This indicates the defrost drain is clogged up.....
Ok another air flow problem.... check the wall of your freezer... is there any frost? If so, then your refrigerator is not defrosting properly - there are generally 3 possible things that control the defrost system...
Check the fan inside the FREEZER section. If it is not working, then the air cannot flow from the freezer into the fresh food part of the refrigerator
The issue is "Air Flow Restriction" - Something is stopping the air from flowing from the Freezer to the refrigerator....
If there is NO Cold Air coming into the freezer at all, check to see if the compressor is actually running. Pull the cover off of the backs side at the bottom behind the refrigerator. Take a screwdriver and place blade end against the compressor and the other end next to your ear. If is vibrating then the compressor is working which means it is doing all it can do and there is probably a sealed system blockage. Time to replace the Fridge. If the compressor is not vibrating, then it is probably the relay/overload system. Good news, this should be fixable.
