Sounds like the evaporator fan needs lubrication or replacing. It needs to run all the time so circulate the cold air in the cabinet and keep it a constant temperature.
The freezer freezes the food rock hard. There is frost throughout the freezer part. Today I noticed a half inch of ice on the bottom of the freezer. I cannot slide out ...

Our freezer was getting too cold and refrigerator was not cold. ...Refrigerator Repair - Fresh Food Section Is Not Cooling , Kenmore , Whirlpool ...
Unlikely. It is probably a control board issue. Try claiming on the electricity utility company. They, not regulating the electricity supply, has ruined your fridge/freezer.
IF THE WALLS ARE CRACKING FROM POOR MANUFACTURING THAN YOU SHOULD RAISE HELL!!!How many times are consumers paying the repairs for poor quality ???Unless you have caused the cracks ,I do believe Whirlpool would see this was taken care of the honest way.WHAT WAS ONE OF MAYTAG'S UNIQUE QUALITYS THAT STOOD MILES ABOVE THE REST?????? answer: QUALITY CONTROL
If there is ice build up on the inside back wall of the freezer or fresh food section, then you have a defrost problem. One way to check this is to remove the food, unplug the refrigerator and leave the doors open for a few hours. This will manually defrost the fridge and freezer. Once it has defrosted plug the refrigerator back in, do not put your food back in yet, wait about two hours and see if the temperature is back to normal. Once defrosted the fridge will work fine for about a week, then it will need to be defrosted again. There are three components that control defrost, the defrost timer, the defrost thermostat, and the defrost heaters. Any one of these could be the problem.
That sounds like a correct solution. If you do not believe the repairman why did you call for service. there is no magic rest button.

This particular model does not have a filter built into it so that is why you can't find one. If you wanted to add a filter, you can get an in-line filter at a local hardware store like Home Depot or Lowes and put one inline with the refrigerators water line behind the uni
Remove the back liner and wall (more details on this below if you need them) to expose the iced up drain line (only 1) on the right side center inside the aluminum drain pan (Directly behind the bottom right side vent that goes into the freezer compartment). Thaw it out so that it will allow water to drain off (slow way -turn off unit for hours, not quite so slow - spoon in hot water - use towels to keep as much of the water from running into the lower freezer)
When the drain is clear and water is draining freely, take light qauge copper wire (t-stat or low volt) and feed it down the drain approx 3 - 4 feet and then wrap the end of it tightly around the heavy defrost bar located just above the the drain hole (this bar resembles an oven element or dishwasher heater element and circles the entire freezer coil). Put several tight wraps on it. This will transfer some of the heat from the defrost cycle down into the drain line and hopefully solve your problem.
If the coils are totally iced up you may have a defrost cycle problem and if so this solution won't work)
reinstall all liners and wiring and you're done
removing the back wall (if you are unsure)
take of plate located at upper left side of the back wall (2 short screws) to expose the wire harness- separate the main connectors)
remove the 6 fasteners attaching the back metal liner wall (4 long & 2 short - the short ones go to outside lower holes) . and remove
the bottom plastic liner tray (just lifts out) and the short plastic base wall at the back bottom of the compartment ( it may be iced in and hard to remove- be careful)
remove the stryofoam insulating liner. Again it may be iced in and frozen to the unit so be careful and if necessary use warm water to thaw it out.
This will expose the inner liner wall and the lower drain pan and line. If you see that the bottom of the coils are iced up you may want to remove the inner liner and defrost the coils but this it not usually the case and you can leave it in place.
Again, if the coils are totally iced up you may have a defrost cycle problem and if so this solution won't work)
