check plastic tube that runs from rear of the freezer. See if it is pluged with ice. If you find it is change the fill valve at the back of freezer behind the compressor cover. It could be a double valve, as one part.

Unplug and completely defrost it until dry.

freezer probably full frost from running open need to clean out frost see how it does

This seems to be a common problem with bottom freezers. Usually there is ice buildup in the cold air passage from the freezer to the refrigerator. There are videos on Youtube that will help. Link below. bottom freezer refrigerator not cooling YouTube

Anything under 32 degrees should do.

Best place for cold cut meats is the bottom drawer in the refrigerator. It's also good for cheeses. That drawer is the coolest but not freeze place. The upper two drawer are good for veggies and fruits. We put the lever controls in the middle selection for them.

Many icemakers use a bar or a sensor to shut off water when ice levels are at a maximum. Check to see if it's bent, missing, or pushed down below the ice level, tricking it into thinking there's no ice there.

Always start by emptying the total refri and freezer until dry. check for settings for your freezer you may not see when full. If that checks out, plug it in. There is a little air fan underneath your refrig. It says cannot lubricate. Horse s**t. It it's stuck or making a noise, blow it out and spray a little WD-40. See if it's turning. Listen to hear the compressor kick in. Do what I said and you will be OK or find the problem.

first shut off water to it then unplug it till it warms up enough to melt the ice that's got it stuck shut be prepaired to clean up a mess it has happened to me

You may just have to unplug it or power off the circuit breaker that feeds that circuit.

26'wide X 19" deep X 21'' front to back. I'll never have a side by side again!

Defrost water goes into the drain-pan below the refrigerator and utilizes the air that goes across the condenser coils to EVAPORATE into the air. There is no collection of water :-)

IF fault code usually for ice maker fan motor. Check in the freezer on left side beside ice maker

usually has wheels and ifu push down on the front they should come out, or try lifting up and they come out then u can roll it

defrost timer, u can get by and test manually by placing a small screw driver into the tiny slot or hole underneath the timer and turn slowly clockwise till u hear 1 click. this will engage ur defrost cycle in about 15 minutes u should be able to come back and feel the heat in freezer as it melts the ice providing ur terminator is not bad? Another way to test it is with a multi meter. Remove timer it from fridge and you will see 4 prongs numbered 2,1,4,3 in that order. Place ur meter prong on prong 1 & 3 (if your fridge has a capacitor wired in series with the windings, then u check for micro fares rather than OHMS) If u cannot confirm this test, still try the next. Take ur meter prong and connect to prong 1 & 4, it should read resistance or ohms ( closed) now remove prongs and place on prong 1 & 2, this should now read infinity or open (no ohms) now take a small screwdriver place it in the tiny hole or slot under the timer. Turn it clockwise slowly till u hear 1 click. Now ur 1& 2 should read closed ( showing ohms or resistance) now place meter prongs on 1 & 4 and you it should now show open ( or no resistance - no ohms) this is how u know ur timer is good, Remember when testing for ohms ADJUST meter to use a high ohms rating in the thousands as the resistance is very high in OHMS. And adjusting to low ohms rating may give a false reading or not show the proper resistance..

replace the theremostat,and see if that fixes the problem.

It could be a couple of things. Check to see if the bar that controls turning the ice maker on and off is in the down position. Up is off. My ice makes water line froze in the refrigerator section; no ice and no clod water. Check to see if the cold water is working in the refrigerator section. If not, turn the refrigerator section temperature to 42, keep the door open until it drops to that temp, and wait 24 hours for the water line to thaw. The water and ice maker should start working.

it sound as fridge termister should be checked

Not knowing how old the unit is, may be a problem to answer. You may have a fan out or it may need a good defrost. Remove and items from the freezer and fresh food section and alow to sit un pluged from power for 24 hours. ( Doors open )
