My Proline freezer has the warning on and won't get cold

if it is a frost free type it could be froze up.look for frost on the bottom back inside wall of the freezer,if you find frost there one of three things have failed,the defrost timer,the defrost heater or the defrost t-stat.if this is the case you will need to call your repair service to check it for you.too much electronics on all this stuff today i think.if on frost,check the cond. coil be hind the toe plate under the doors.this needs to be cleaned every 3 or 4 months.hope this helps.

Refrigerator is not very cold. Freezer is not

Our side by side did the same, started because the cooling coils on the bottom (although cleaned regularly), still overworked due to build up of dust and especially pet hair. The heating coil in the freezer compartment which prevents ice buildup in modern (frost-free) units kicks on full time and the compressor can't compensate, thus your perishables start to thaw. Luckily we were still under warranty. hope this helps you at least start diagnosing the problem.

I would check your door seals to make sure they are doing there job. If warm moist air gets into an area of cold this will happen. You may need to get new seals for your freezer door.

GE refrig side by side 7-8 yrs old will not freeze frig not cold

Generally, This would be a sealed system problem. An inefficient compressor or low refrigerant. If you notice a build up of frost on the freezer panel it might be a defrost problem, but, I am leaning towards an inefficient compressor.
