In the last week the temperature read out has been up and back to where it should be. At first I thought that the doors may not have closed properly causing a poor seal. Over the weekend the freezer temp and the refrig temp were at 46 degrees. I'm thinking that a new main board will fix this problem. Does anyone not agree? Thanks, Dan.

In the upper left hand corner of the back case of the fridge, take off the access cover for the mail board. Make sure the refer is unplugged. now disconnect all wires on the board and remove board. look at the back of the board for any burn marks, particularly behind the largest relay on the board, also look at the resistors on the board, there are 2 bigger resistors together on the right side of the board, look for burnt resistors. Also is the freezer fan running?

I looked at the main board. No obvious signs of burn marks. Some light brown spots.
Fan in freezer working.
Now temps are 4 degrees in freezer, 42 in refrig.
Go figure

Remove the lower access cover at the rear, and verify that your condenser fan is running, also check for an abundance of lint buildup on condenser coils

Opened bottom panel. Gray fan on right hand side of center. Not spinning, not sure if it is supposed to spin continually. No sign of major lint build-up. Whatever there was I vacuumed up. Temp now at -1 for freezer, 36 for refrig.

That fan should run when the compressor is running, if it's not running when compresser is on, that is your problem

Thank you very much for your time and info abadfish66.
I'll continue to look at that fan.
Right now, the freezer has been back at -2 degrees for that last 24 hours and the refrig at 36 degrees. Hopefully, the temps will hold.
Stay well.
Dan
