The refrigerator section is running at about 46 degrees and the
freezer is at 42. We cleaned all the dust out of the back and there
doesn't seem to be any improvement. I am an electronics technician
however I don't know too much about refrigerators. All the food is
spoiling and I' hope that someone can please point me in the right
direction to troubleshoot this thing. We had a GE for 22 years and
against my better judgment had to get rid of it because my wife didn't
like the rust on the bottom. Now we're stuck with this non functioning
pos. Thanks for any assistance. Lenny


Could be failure of defrost system, even if compressor is running. You can
check by removing the cover in the back of the freezer section, if that is
how you get to the freezer coill thingies, the aluminium bits.

This causes the ice that is there to slow the flow of air from the fans to
the fridge compartments. Next step is to find out why, if this is
happening.
