Hi, First I would check the fan in the freezer. Listen to see if it is running It moves air to the ref from the freezer Then check to see if freezer control is turned WARMER, which makes the Ref. colder Also this might be a common Defrost problem, Ice is not being melted by the defrost system.The fan can't blow through the coils into the fridge. Take out back panel of freezer to check for ice buildup. The coils should be clean. There are three components to a defrost system- a heater,heater thermostat, and a timer unless you have a defrost electronic card. Its best handled by a Technician but you could possibly do it by taking your model number to the nearest appliance parts store and asking for the parts. They are mostly located in freezer ,behind back panel on freezer coils.except the card which is usually located in ref The parts store will have info Also check fan undernearh Ref in the rear Clean condenser coils underneath .I'm including my article on Refrigerator Repair for your help and convenience.; Please click or copy and paste into browser for Article http://www.fixya.com/support/r5816737-fix_refrigerator_psychologically Thanks for using fixya Leo Ponder imufo2 Please VOTE FOR ME IF THIS WAS HELPFUL

1) For best possible free answer, please add a comment and give model number that shows inside timer door. This will give expert access exact manual for the equipment you have, and show what voltage you are working with.
3) If you have mechanical dial timer, see if manual override works.
And then check electric power. Check circuit breaker. Check if manual override works.
Hi, you got a defrost problem, when to much ice build up after few days,cooling decreases. it could either be your defrost heaters are burnt out, faulty defrost timer, or faulty defrost thermodisc, which are usually at back of freezer, you will have to remove back panel of freezer, and cary out continuity test, to see which ones are defected. the defrost timer sometimes could be found inside of refrigerator compartment or at back of ref. different models, different location, you didn't say what made ref. you got, surely you got a defrost problem, you will need a mechanic to get it check, if your days are hot, or if you got door gasket problem, or someone forgot door half open for few hrs, or excessive hot air getting into ref, could cause that too. before calling mechanic, you will need to empty ref. and unplug for few hrs, clean out all ice, surely it will work, but if problem continues, call mechanic.
if the compressor is running your ref. should be getting cold. Their is a defrost timer but when it is in defrost the compressor shuts off. I think you do have a leak.
Defrost timer, heater, therma disk, any one could be bad.
You could manually defrost and this would get the Ref back to working for a couple of days before it iced up again. Remember there is a lot of ice build up on the cooling coils in the freezer that you can't see so, a little extra time with a hair dryer is needed to do a complete manual defrost.

Anyway, i appreciate your effort.
the GD5RHAXNT is a side by side refrigerator just like the whirlpool GD5VVXAT that you can see in this web page

i just found this ref because of the control that it has..the same as the GD5RHAXNT. but it only give the user's manual and not the technical manual.
please look at the page 5 on user's manual...there is a picture of the thermostat controllers..
under the GUIDES AND LITERATURE, owner's manual
but what i want is the technical manual for the the refrigerator i am working on and this is what i saw in the plate...
GD5RHAXNT i hope you can help me....

francis, ( drcool )
