Freezer section is dripping water into the main compartment of the refrigerator. The setting is on 5 and refrig is in an open space. Food seems cold and nothing is spoiling.

Your fan has stopped working. You need to either replace it or see if your defrost timer is working.

Hello,

It sounds to me like your refrig. is defrosting as it's suppose to automatically but the drain in the freezer is blocked so instead of the defrost water water running through the drain to the pan in the bottom of refrig, where it evaperates and you don't need to empty the pan,instead of that since freezer drain is blocked so the water is running into the fresh food compartment.

is your damper door between the freezer and refrige compartments opening and closing as you adjust the temp settings,they can become stuck open by ice build up,defrost the damper door and see if it closes then

check the damper door between the freezer and refrigerator compartments,it most likely has frozen in the fully open position allowing cold air into refrige compartment all the time,you will see ice build up around the damper door unit,remove the door unit defrost,replace and then see if it moves when you change the refrige cold control

check the operation of the damper door between the freezer/refrigerator section which lets cold from freezer into refrige compartment for ice build-up which will cause damper door to not open fully and cool the refrige compartment,if this is the problem,unplug the door ans remove and let thaw then replace and try it then

Looks like you have a clogged drip tray channel. Unplug the refrige ,leave freezer and food compartment doors open for at least 12 hours. After that look under behind the refrige for a plastic-rubber tubing ending in the drain pan under the refrige.That is clogged, get a 2 feet hose 1/2 inch diameter. Attach end to the drain tubing then blow through this will clear the way.. and your done.

Since your freezer control is the main thermostat , and your refrig control is only a damper , lower your freezer setting and turn the refrig control mid way . This will make the refrig run less , and keep the air flow moving , throughout the complete unit . When the airflow stops , by turning down the refrig control ( closing the damper ) , all the cold air will settle in the refrig section , thereby freezing everything in the lower section .
Since the water line runs thru the freezer door , too cold in the freezer section , will cause the water in the line to freeze . I would also suggest installing a dispensor heater ( pt. # WR49X10173 ) , which would hopefully avoid water line freeze , in the future . This part comes with installation instructions .

When the compressor is running, if the fan by the compressor and the fan inside the freezer are both running, and there is no frost on the back wall of the freezer (if there was frost would indicate a defrost issue) then check the air dampener. It is located at the very top left back side of the fresh food section. If it is not opening up, no air will flow from the freezer compartment (where all the cooling takes place) into the refrigerator section.

It's likely the door was inadvertently left open, and the cold air passages from the freezer have built up enough ice that the cold air from the freezer has no way to enter the refrigerator. Check the cealing of the refrigerator. If you can see or feel ice in the passages between the freezer and fridge, you can probably solve the problem by finding a safe temporary home for your food, and leaving the refrigerator unplugged overnight.

all the cold air is made in the frezzer section then blown to the refrig section, the frzzer needs tobe -5 or 0 degrees F, also post model and serial number

alot of time people think if it freezes water it is cold but that happens at 32 F
