Have a Kenmore refrigerator about 9 years old. This has freezer on left side, refrigerator on right. This also has an ice/water dispenser. It is making ice, and everything in the freezer appears to be frozen. The refrigerator is a little on the warm side (about 45 degrees according to the thermometer). I have cleaned the coils underneath the refrigerator, cleaned the fan near the compressor, and checked the unit that lets the freezer air into the refigerator side. The unit's "venetian blind" mechanism was open, and I could feel the cold air entering the fridge section. I also exposed the coiled unit inside the freezer section to see if there was a frost build-up. I did not see a problem with the frost build up and saw that the fan worked. I even saw the defrosting unit kick on while I had the freezer open. The thermostat also appeared to be in good shape. I'm not sure where to go next. I do notice that the divider between the freezer and fridge is pretty warm. I can do another clean-up of the coils underneath.... Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, KevM

The freezer part is working but the refrigerator part is leaking water from the left side upper corner .there is like a vent from, where the water is leaking and the refrigerator side is not cooling any hint or advice will be appreciated thanks
water dispenser -Your water inlet valve on the back where the
water supply comes in is probably leaking. disconnect the water line coming out
of it and see if you have a slow drip. Try the dispenser to see if it's just
drips after use.
ice maker - If it overfills and drips, look for an
adjustment behind the plastic endcover with a +/- on it. - is less water. If it continuously drips, replace the water
inlet valve on the back where the house water supply comes in.
I'm not sure which one you have, but try this: Look for the area where the air passes from the freezer to the refrigerator side, in the wall somewhere between them. Make sure that there isn't something blocking the passage. This is a good place to start.

your freezer had a heater and a bi metal behind its pannel. if they won't work properly than you would face problem like this.......contact your service authority. it cannot be solved by your own
