Kenmore side by side - model - 253.54739304. we moved it from one house to another. it was working fine. now won't freeze or cool properly. like it is in defrost mode. compressor was not running so I have unplugged it. any ideas?

Check the model number again. That is not a correct number.

Its defrost problem, the freezer should cool, then freeze, then defrost cycle should start. In your case freezer is cooling, then freezing, but its not defrosting. That's why fridge section is not cooling.-------

Unplug the refrigerator and then plug back in. Using multimeter check between J3-1 and J3-4.
Must be done within 10 seconds of starting. You should have 6 VDC. If you do replace damper, if not replace motherboard.

have a two year old side by side amana frig. the freezer side works fine, the frig is at 56 degrees at coldest setitng. HELP, can't get repair guy for five days cause we live in rural area.

Check your connections in the back make sure no wires are lose or rattled lose off of the compressor or anything like that
