Bottom freezer (10 yrs. old) losing temperature. Only +10 degrees. Refrigerator is +30 degrees. Is it worth fixing the freezer? Does this mean that it is only a matter of time that the top refrigerator goes out, too?

I have a KitchenAid Refrigerator Model Number: KBFC42FTS. Bottom drawer freezer over cools -10 degrees.

Does that unit have a low temperature monitor built in? Maybe that is what is making the noise when your temps dip to -10 degrees. Actually, that is great because the lower the temps the longer you can keep food in the freezer so I would not be overly concerned about that aspect. BTW, have you tried to isolate the source of the humming noise?

That's interesting, -10 or colder is too cold and something is defiantly going on. This unit is controlled by a mulitple control boards, temperture sensors and other components. Question, what is freezer temp set at? Try increasing it by 3-4 degrees and see if that changes anything. Beyond that, I'm going to change the temp sensor first before doing any of the control boards. #29 is the temp. sensor. Good Luck

What is the mormal temperature swing of a Refrigerator?

What you call temperature swing, is hysteresis. For a refrigerator it only is allowed a few degrees. 1 or 2 up and down. A swing from 32 to 45 is far to big. Unless the factory can prove they advertise these figures. I would never buy a frig like that.
I would contact the dealer and ask him / her to replace the thermostat and if that is not possible to bring another refrigerator.

Something is really wrong with yours.

Freezer temperature is not consistent

No recall that I have on my listing for that model. Keep in mind that the refrigerator goes into a defrost mode that lasts up to 30 minutes. It happens anywhere from 10 hours to 60 hours of operational time. When this happens, it's not uncommon to see 20 ° temperature. If you check it again an hour later, it should be back under 10 °. Also, double check to be sure the condenser coils are really clean. That alone can also cause this sort of symptom.
