Re: No light in fridge compartment, Not freezing. Light...
Your door switch is bad. When doors are opened, the fan stops. No cooling. When it closes, fan starts. Bulb is just an indicator of no power to unit...probably burned out contact in switch.

Hi Shane kelly, I would look at whether freezer is defrosting or is ice building up behind the fridge panel at the back and then freezing your fridge compartment.
It takes like 2 days for the ice to melt if this is the case.
Then freezer will work for a while and then when defrost is missed it builds up the ice again.
If this is what is causing problem it could be a transducer fault in the freezer that detect ice or a timer fault in the defrost circuitry.

Also check the evaporator circulating fan inside the freezer. The defrost timer and ice build up is also my other suggestion. The evaporator becomes a solid block of ice and doesn't pass air.
there is a defrost mode that melts any frost or ice on the evaporator coils and drains it into a pan under the fridge. if that drain is blocked, the water will pool inside. also check the door seals. if warm moist air leaks in, it'll condense on the cold interior and pool as well.
You can use a hairdryer on the frozen parts.
The fridge gets its cold air from the freezer through a vent(damper)
between the freezer and fridge.The fan in the freezer blows air through
it.There is a flap you adjust with the
fridge temp. control. Make sure it's opening and closing when you adjust the
fridge temp ..
Spray a good quantity of WD-40 on the spindle of the fan motor where it enters the motor itself. This should get the fan working smoothly with no noise. This will probably solve the other problems, as the fan prevents various components from overheating and shutting down.
Defrost the unit for two days with the doors open...I know you're going to lose your contents. You may have ice on the coils internally. Next make sure you've cleaned the external coils under the unit. Leaving liquids open inside the unit or setting it colder than required will both cause issues like the ones you've got. Also, be sure all air vents inside the unit are unblocked and the door closes tightly all around.
