    I've got the same problem. We had a black out and first we noticed that the freezer wouldn't stay cold. Then a few days later the refrigerator stopped working.

Sounds like the motor starter/capacitor may be faulty. How long does the compressor run for? Do you hear a clicking every few minutes from the compressor? If a power surge fried the defrost timer that too could give similar results.

My KTM3900WB fridge/freezer is not freezing and cooling in the fridge. The light goes and can hear the motor is running.
You are either low on freon refrigerant, or your compressor is frozen (usually due to low freon) or your compressor is bad. the motor will cycle on and off even though the compressor is not working. the refrigerator away from the wall and look compressor will be a nerf football sizedand usually black cylinder. It could be very hot or cold/frozen. can also unplug the refrigerator leave it for a few hours and plug it back in if it work you are low on freon. You need a repairman

My side by side 23.6 cu. ft. no frost refrigerator is not freezing and the refrigerator is not getting cold enough. There's frost on the back wall inside freezer. It's a GE TFX24VR. What can I
usually that means your fridge thermostat is being blocked by items in your fridge, telling the cooling system to shut down. If your fridge and freezer are packed, the fridge might protect itself by shutting down the cooling system. Happened to us last Thanksgiving.

We have a Amana BR18 Easy Reach bottom freezer. The fridge is turned up all the way, barely keeping food cold. The freezer is not freezing anything (ice, etc.). The freezer is still blowing cool air, but...
Low refrigerant assuming the compressor is always running and not being shut down by the thermostat.

You can hook up an ammeter to the unit to see if the current consumption is below spec, another sign of low gas situation since the motor is not working as hard as under normal conditions.

My cpca 291 fxk problem is freezer frosting up and struggles to freeze things and fridge is not cold enough
sounds like your fan motor has seized or burnt out a winding,, this will need replacing. check by holding lid open to raise temp but at the same time hold down the button that the lid presses on when its shut, after about 10min the fan should run.

Ge profile fridge bottom freezing up
found the problem .the compressor is not putting out enough cold to freeze the coils' only half the coils are freezing in the bottom of the fridge. the fan draws it's cold air from these coils and pulls it up to the top of the fridge where it's dispersed into the top half of the fridge' hence the stat never see's that it's cold enough to shut off the switch . in other words if the coils down below were all working a lot more colder air would be pulled up to the top and the stat would then shut off . Solution is to seek a refund from the service tech and buy a new fridge . it's not worth putting a new compressor into this one although it is only 5 years old hope this helps someone who has the same problem

my kitchenaid ice maker will not eject ice into the ice bin. I can see there is ice in the maker and there are no small pieces of ice stuck in the teeth. LED quickly flashes twice then pause, the 2 quick flashes with the freezer door open. When I manually close the flap that the photo eye looks at, the LED is lit solid. Any suggestions?
