Our problem is very similar - the temperature on both the fridge and the freezer is very eratic but the fridge is the main problem because the temperature is currently running at 21 degrees and doesn't seem to be going down. We have taken off the back panel from the freezer section to remove the built up ice, but this still hasn't worked. We don't know what else to do and we would welcome any advice otherwise we will have to consider buying a new one which is not an option at the moment with Christmas around the corner.

I had a similar problem with a top freezer and it was discovered that the fan had actually slipped down on motor shaft and was stuck against the freezer wall. Check to see if there is enough clearance for the fan to actually spin.

We have an Amana bottom load freezer with fridge on top; the freezer maintains its temperature but the fridge does not. What might the problem be?

Start by checking the circulation fan located in the back of the freezer. You may also want to check to see if the vents in the freezer are clear of debris and ice build up. If the fan is not running, remove the fan motor and test it by applying power directly. If the motor runs with power applied directly then you may need a thermostat.

Hotpoint FFA90 fridge not cooling - freezer working perfectly....

Check to see if the fan is blocked or not functioning. The air is sent to the fridge from the freezer usually with a small fan and if the opening is blocked that will happen. The fan could also be bad or it is not getting any power.

Got a hotpoint ffa97, freezer was still cold and no alarm had gone off to say that that there had been a power cut yet the fridge temp had risen enough to curdle milk??\r\ntemp gauge was still showing...

Milk can sometimes curdle in a working fridge. But it does sound like your defrost system may be malfunctioning. Can you empty your freezer and inspect the defrost system behind the air circulator fan?

I know that defrost elements sometimes go bad and the controllers can pop too. You should check your operators manual and see how to put the fridge into manual defrost. *(it usually involves turning the fridge light on and off by hand. See if the freezer drains during manual defrost. If you have lots of food that dries out in a frost free unit the moisture contains a lot of contaminants that can plug the defrost drain. Which leads to a blocked air passage between the freezer and fridge sides.

You might want to get a small backup fridge for a while to run this down.
Or just use up the food in your fridge before running the tests.

Good luck and be careful.

Fan underneath frig is running but no cold air is coming into the frig or freezer

The fan that is under the frig is the condensor fan(the fan the cools the condenser coils and the compressor. It does not have a direct effect on the chilled air circulation inside of the frig. The evaporator fan is the unit that circulates the chilled air thru your freezer and frig. I am not sure what make model unit you have, but I have found that this fan motor is 90% of the circulation problems i have seen.

Freezer is cold but bottom of refrigerator is not

Replace the fan - it's called the evaporator fan. It circulates cold air evenly in the freezer and blows cold air into the refrigerator section. Its failure would cause the symptoms you describe. Good luck with the repair.

Fan not shutting off

The freezer fan will run at all times with the exception of when the system is in the defrost mode. This is a normal condition. The air circulation fans use very little power and are of low wattage. The fan by the compressor cycles on and off with the compressor.
