Our ice maker stopped a few months ago but we did not have it looked at. Now we have noticed that it is running, but the frige side is pretty warm and the ice cream on the freezer side is softening. Beyond checking the coils for dirt what else can we do on our own?
Is the fan running in the back compressor area?If not check voltage at the fan if there replace fan motor.[Condenser motor] Is the fan running in the frezer compartment if not check for voltage at that motor if voltage there replace motor[Evap motor]
Is their frost on the frezer back wall,in side the frezer compartment? if yes its a defrost problem.Use volt meter to check continuty on heater and term.thermostat [It must becold below 20 degrees to check term thermo.if those 2 ok its defrost timer

Hi: When both sides get warm it is a bad sign. I wish I had better news. Hope all works out for you, Jeff

sounds like a bad timer in the defrost cycle. Call a tech repairman

Carben,
I have the same problem and I am able to resolve it by defrosting the element which is behind the inside rear panel of the freezer. I use a hair dryer to melt the ice build up. It happbed a couple of times so I know that there is a cause for this which may be the defrost heater but I am not sure how to confirm this. Let me know if you have any ideas.

you have a defrost problem, could be bad adaptive defrost board,t-stat heater,when you open freezer door listen for fan if fan is blowing check the t-stat,look at it and see if it has a buldge on it,sometime you can see this and tell it's bad,you'll need a meter to read out the heater and other parts to see whats bad,might be a good idea to call a tech to do this,when you find problem you have to melt everything out again
SOURCE: Freezer too cold--refrigerator too warm
If the cold control is not adjusting the temp when you move it, that can be part of the problem.

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.
Make sure this fan is running. You may have to hold the door switch in for it
to run. There is a flap you adjust with
the fridge temp. control. Make sure it's opening and closing when you adjust
the fridge temp.
The problem could be the electronic control if
you have one or the mechanical linkages.
