I have a Kenmore Coldspot side-by-side refrigerator model number 106.44273600 mfd in 2007.06. Last week I noticed that the freezer was way too cold (the ice cream was rock hard) and the day before yesterday the thermometer said it was 32°F *below* zero, but the refrigerator side is 65°F. What should I look for?
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.
Clean the 2 vents inside the fridge (on the freezer side). I just paid a repairman to do that as mine was doing the same thing. They were mostly clogged by ice.
