Last week my side by side completely went warm...except the back of the freezer had a thick ice layer....lost everything!!!! I figured it was because I had the freezer totally packed. After emptying both sides, cleaning the coils and defrosting the ice from the freezer, it seemed like everything was going great. The ice maker started making ice again, and everything seemed to be getting cooler....but the controls are on the coldest setting and the freezer barely keeps ice cream frozen, and the milk in the fridge feels luke warm....help!!!!!
Madezmom, you have a defrost issue. If your model starts with 106 you more than likley have a bad defrost bi-metal, I will attach a picture of bad one. This sits on the evaporator in the freezer section behind the panel. You will have to remove the shelves and remove the back panel. Defrost the evaporator completely. The part number for the bi-metal is 2196155. See if yours is bulged like the one in the attached photo. If so, that's your problem..Catriver..post back.

Check and see if there is any aire getting into the fridge section at the top back left hand side..if cold air is getting in then fan circulation system is operating ok..I think your fan is not working though. Had same pronblem.

Same problem - freezer/fridge warmed up over a few days and wouldn't cool properly. Defrosted evaporator coils and cooling capability returns. Is this a bi-metal switch problem or a control board problem?
freezer runs constantly and fridge does not get cold
freezer won't keeps things frozen. Fridge side OK
We had the exact same problem at least three times. The repair man was at our house today and told us that it can't be fixed and we should by a new one. He said the condenser is bad on it.
Kenmore model 5052201 stopped cooling/freezing all at once.
Thinking it is the relay as the compressor comes on then stops.
But it may be the compressor.
This is getting on my nerves
ice melting in the freezer and frozen food warming
Its started defrosting it self yesterday and it got cleaned out today but is not getting cold and the ice maker stop working a couple of years ago. What do we do?
freezer covered in ice an everything else is defrosting
ice cream is not frozen in the freezer and everything is freezing in the fridge.
ice on the back of freezer and fridge does not get that cold.
Nofrost system iced up, seems to be bent now I have defrosted as drawer will not close properly and fridge stays warm
