Even after you had unplugged and started if the fridge is not cooling well then the compressor is not having the right pressure for the heat exchange. The possible problem can be fault in the compressor or lack of gas in the system. check if the compressor motor speed is fine and pumping well, need to use a current test witth a clamp tester. If not check on the contacter relay, the capapcitor. If ok the gas pressure must be checked or refilled. I hope you can follow this out and try. Good day,

check the fan in back of freezer check or proper running condition not stuck or frozen also make sure not blocked by food the fan takes the air from freezer and blows it down into fridge area to cool it also check for ice build up in the fan housing and thaw as necessary

sounds like a drain clog in the freezer compartment above. remove the freezer rear panel and totally defrost the evaporator area, directly under the evap you see( under all taht ice) a small drain hole that has become frozen over, try defrosting with either a hair dryer( not a heat gun too much heat youl melt everything) or by pouring hot water donw the drain until you get a free flow of water down the tube. after its clear reassemble and you should be fine

the drain hose must be frozen,when it freezes it usally blocks the air ways to the fridge,let the fridge defrost for a day then when you put it on check for air flow in the fridge.you can speed it up with a hair dryer on low in the freezer

the drain hole is blocked in the freezer defrost for a day and try again,a easy way to check is to look at the back of fridge where the motor is youll see the drain tube try to blow thru if blocked its frozen,you might have to cup your hand its a short hose

the unit is loosing the freon supply to the evaporator.you either have a leakage,a blockage or the compressor is not pumping to full capacity.

It should be under warranty, retry he is probably right, run for 24hrs and it should work ok, if you ever defrost you should turn off for 24hrs and leave the door open. Regards Advisor
