suggestions???
Yep, worked for me too. Also, they're talking about the inside back of the refridgerator...
Sounds like a defrost problem. Check to see if
there is any frost buildup in the back wall of the freezer. If so, it is not
defrosting as it should.
If
you don’t know what these are then unplug the machine and let the ice melt in
the freezer overnight with the door open. Then try it the next day, if is
cooling fine then you need to have a service person replace one of the above
items. If it still has a problem then it might be the compressor and you should
probably replace the machine.

YOU ARE THE MAN!
Thank you very much!
The back of the freezer was covered with frost. We unplugged it and hit it with a hair dryer. After removing the layer of frost, we removed the back panel from the freezer. It was a solid block of ice that prevented the fan from moving. We melted the rest of the ice and everything seems to be running fine. We will keep an eye on it though.
We think the problem may have been caused by someone accidentally leaving the freezer door partially open for many hours, causing the frost to build up.
You saved the day here!
