Hi miss_i2000

I'm Harvey the Master Plumber

Your question is: freezer is icing up and fridge temperature has risen to 10 from 5. Also alot of condensation in the fridge and the fan doesnt seem to be working in fridge. Correct temperature on freezer -18 but ice. new frost free fridge freezer bought 1.5 weeks ago

This is no problem for you. You are under warranty and as long as you have not tryed to repair it yourself you are completely covered. Look for the manufacturer's warranty phone number on the paper work that came with it or call the sales man, he will be happy to track that down for you because he wants repeat business.
If you bought it used the only answer is to return it. You could get a local pro to repair it at yuor own expense but I wouldn't recomend that for a frige only 1.5 weeks old!

My lg refrigerator will only make ice when I open it up and push the inside button. There is no water available in the front and complete frig not cooling well.

If your LG refrigerator is only making ice when you open it up and push the inside button, and the complete fridge is not cooling well, there are a few things you can check:
  1. Check the temperature settings: Make sure the temperature settings for the fridge and freezer are set correctly. If the temperature is too high, it can cause the fridge to not cool properly.
  2. Check the air vents: Make sure the air vents inside the fridge and freezer are not blocked by food or other items. Blocked air vents can prevent proper air circulation and cause cooling issues.
  3. Check the door gaskets: Make sure the door gaskets are sealing properly. If there is air leaking through the door gaskets, it can cause the fridge to not cool properly.
  4. Check the condenser coils: Make sure the condenser coils on the back of the fridge are clean and free of dust and debris. Dirty condenser coils can cause the fridge to not cool properly.
As for the error code E 1S or 15, it indicates a problem with the ice maker fan. This fan is responsible for circulating air over the ice maker to prevent frost buildup. If the fan is not working properly, it can cause the ice maker to not make ice or make ice intermittently.
To fix the issue, you may need to replace the ice maker fan. It's recommended to have a professional technician perform this repair to ensure it's done correctly.

ULINE ice maker is cold but won’t make ice. Need help.

01 - Freezer Temperature is Above 10 Degrees F (-12C)
If the freezer temperature is above 10 degrees Fahrenheit (-12C), the ice maker will not produce ice cubes efficiently. The freezer temperature should be set between 0 and 5 degrees Fahrenheit (-18 to -15C) for the ice maker to work properly. If the freezer temperature is too high, ensure that the condenser coils are clear of debris and the condenser fan is working properly. In addition, check to see if frost has accumulated on the evaporator coils. If the evaporator coils are frosted over, part of the defrost system has likely failed.

I have a GE profile refregerator, model PDS22MCRBWW (s/nTG042045). It has the fridge on top and freezer on bottom (pull out drawer). It is now a little over 6 years old and has had continuous use since...

Warm sides on the fridge
It's usually caused by the condenser fan which is underneath around back. If it's not running when the compressor runs it will cause the problem you describe. You will need to remove the cardboard backing on the back of the fridge to access the fan.
Here's how to test the fan.

The temperature of the fridge has risen to 11/12 degrees & wont come down? Freezer works fine! Any answers please

Don't know the make and model of your fridge, but most fridges have only one evap coil located in the freezer. The fridgerator compartment is cooled by a fan to blow air from the coil back into the fridgerator section. Check that the fan is working and the vents in the fridgerator are not blocked. Often the problem might be that the defrost circuit is not functioning causing ice to build up on the evap coil thus block the air flow to the fridge. If you seen any ice build up in freezer or refrigerator that could be the problem. If that is the case, then you need to have the defrost circuit troubleshot, typical failures are the heater itself or the defrost timer if you have an older model. Hope this helps you.

Fridge temperature has suddenly dropped to 15

Check the door gaskets, condenser fan, refrigerator fan and the freezer fan. That should narrow down the problem.

My freezer seems to be working but my frig is is not getting below 50 degrees???

5 reasons for fridge and/or freezer getting warm: 1- the evaporator coils are icing up and won?t let air circulate. 2- the evaporator fan is not working to circulate air. 3- there is no refrigerant in the system. 4- no power to fridge or compressor. 5- the condenser coils have no air circulation check under the fridge behind the vent. if it is too dusty or the fan isn?t working, it is not getting enough airflow to cool down. replace fan and/or vacuum out the dust. if there is no power to the fridge, the light will be off. if the compressor is not running, there is a defrost timer that cuts the power temporarily to the compressor to melt ice on the coils. it?s located under the fridge behind the bottom vent. If the timer is off and the compressor is not going, the compressor or the main board is bad and needs replacing. there is also a temperature sensor on the evaporator coils that tells the defrost coil to turn on and when to turn off. if the defrost timer is on but the coil is not heating up, replace the sensor. if it still won?t heat up, it?s the timer or the coil. the easiest way to tell if there is no refrigerant- the freezer wall is warm and the compressor is loud. if there is no refrigerant, it may be more cost effective to replace the fridge. if you feel no air coming from the freezer vent, the fan needs replacing. If you feel air moving in the freezer but not the fridge, the channel from freezer to fridge is blocked. if the freezer has air and the rear freezer wall has frost on it, the evaporator coils are iced up and need defrosting. causes: 1. low refrigerant 2. no fan 3. too much humid air in fridge/freezer due to door open or bad door seals 4. the condensate drain tube is clogged if the seal around the door is ripped or not completely sealing, or there is condensation at the bottom or the walls of the fridge, replace the seal(s). no air, no fan. Replace if the refrigerant is low, it just needs a top off. but you need to be certified by the epa to move refrigerant, so get a professional. defrost solutions: unplug the fridge. remove the wall of the freezer that is frosted/icing up. use a hair dryer to melt the ice. do not get too close. you will see a drain under the evaporator coil. make sure it is not blocked. the water should run freely to a condensate pan under the fridge that evaporates the condensation with the hot line from the compressor. once the coil is free of ice, frost, and water, replace the panel and repair any of the problems that caused the icing up. plug the fridge in and turn it on. If it frosts up within a week, there is still an issue that not been taken care of.

My Servis fridge/freezer sounds like Darth Vader

We had the same problem and discovered that the ice making device was "on" and we don't have it hooked up.  In the "on" position the pump begins to run but there is no water to pull so it sounds like breathing.  The ice making bar for us on our Jenn-Air is located near the ice trays and ours needs to be in the up position for off.  Hope this helps!
