Well, by the time the weekend has gone by, the temp is back down to 38 degrees. i didn't unplug, but tried not to use that frig so we could keep the door shut.

is unplugging the frig like resetting it?
thanks.

hi - well, frig worked well for about 3 months. Now, we have a freezer temp at 0 ti -2 and a frig temp that won't go below 48. During the day, 50 and then overnight to 48. We have unplugged it and when we did, i looked at the coils, but, they weren't dusty as we cleaned them 3 months ago.

the ice maker and water doesn't work, the temp is unstable as best. The machine is 7 years old. Is there anything else you can think of to do? i really don't want to invest any more in labor on a service call, but, also don't want to spend the $ on a new frig.

thanks!

Make sure the compressor is on. Open the freezer door and listen to the fan. If you can hear it, check the air flow inside the freezer.
