Westinghouse Wse6100WA side by side Fridge-icing up/not cooling

Hi Nighteyes, I recently had the same problem which you describe above last Dec 2013 and after googling for solution as it cost a fortune to call a fridge man service. Check the vent in the fridge for our model which is located next to the 1 top crisper box. A lot of ice is blocking the cold airflow from freezer to the fridge. So I defrost the fridge and let the ice melt until I can't see ice on the vent blocking the airflow. It takes awhile so I use blow dryer to speed it up. It now cools my fridge. Our model is a frostfree cycle so which should take care of itself. This method fixed up the problem. However, now it is too cold that it freezes meat and vegies, any liquid in my fridge.

I rang up Electrolux and she advise that make sure no item is blocking the vent (fridge - next to the 1st crisper box) and thermostat in both fridge (above the 1st box crisper) freezer (3rd shelves from the top - looks like a bar). Mine is clutter free. So they advise to change the settings to manufacture setting in Freezer (-18 C) and Fridge (3 C). I googled the symptoms and found explanation which you can try if you get my 2nd problem.

Refer to suggestion in the article. I have yet to fix my 2nd problem but have taken the steps of setting it back to manufacturing settings right now. Hope this all helps!

With my 1st problem, perhaps I have not defrost long enough. I turned it back on when I can't visually see the blocked up eyes on the vent. With my 1st problem, perhaps I have not defrost long enough. I turned it back on when I can't visually see the blocked up eyes on the vent.

now will try cralton's solution below. now will try cralton's solution below.

by the way, i have now fixed up my fridge being "too cold" by setting the fridge to manufacturing setting as mentioned above in my earlier post (i.e. Freezer (-18 degrees Celsius) and Fridge set to (3 degrees Celsius). Yay!!! I just saved myself $334 ($134 call out fee and if thermostats needs to be replaced it is $200). Hope this helps those who are looking for answers. Save those two website link I posted as it helps you better understand how fridge work. I am a lady so if I can do it so can you. *wink :-) by the way, i have now fixed up my fridge being "too cold" by setting the fridge to manufacturing setting as mentioned above in my earlier post (i.e. Freezer (-18 degrees Celsius) and Fridge set to (3 degrees Celsius).
