Check the condenser fan. #1 problem with refrigerators. It is in the rear, low, behind the lovely cardboard panels. Try not to tear the cardboard. Duct tape will patch it, if you do.

SOURCE: Red blinking light over normal wash

I had the same problem... the lock on light was blinking continuously. The solution required disassembling the door to get to the control panel electronic board. You'll notice a flat transparent cable coming out of one end, twisting under the board and going into the door panel. In the middle of the door, there's a number of wires taped together that curled over the flat cable. Look for any black tape residue on the flat cable, which seemed to be causing a short circuit and confusing the electronics. After carefully removing the tape residue from the flat cable, the problem went away.
Hope this helps :)

SOURCE: refrigerator trouble shooting

Condensation only ever happens if the door is left open for a long period. - The warm ambient air condenses on anything cold - like the food in there.

Because of convection, the door need only be open 1/4" to be affected. Quite often a bag pushes the door open a little.

Check all door seals for splits - clean them.
Make sure nothing is touching the back cooling plate, and it should be fine from there.

Hope this helps.

My fault it is just a freezer. I was thinking a refrigerator. Can you look at the condenser coils they might be under the unit or on the back. Some units have them underneath and are very hard to clean. So look at the coils under the unit and see if there is a lot of dust bunny's on them. Get back with me and let me know.+

Get under the sink and pull the plug. Let it sit for a half an hour or so. While you wait make sure all the drain screens etc. are clean. Usually unplugging will reset board. Kind of like a reboot on a computer. I hope this works usually does if something else major isn't wrong.

hi Kristen,although it should be left for 24hours,it will take at least that and more to get back to a level temperature,just leave it on rapid cool(if fitted)then check after 48 hours.

Warm fridge

Fifteen years old.  Unless you are a fix-it fanatic like me and have lots of time to tinker (and like soft ice cream), it is probably time to replace it.

Refrigerator/freezer is warm, fan is running.

The problem is the compressor isnt starting. The relay is probably ok. It should have 5yr warranty on the compressor. However if you purchase a Supco RC0810 start assist relay available at all appliance parts stores, it will start the compressor, however this is only a temp fix. But it should last till sears can put a new compressor in.
