Default Little fridge/freezer mystery

Sounds good. Fan may have been weak, and the cold wasn't
moving around as it should.

Amana 18 cu. foot fridge from 1984, freezer on top.

Carton of ice cream in freezer. On day 1, ice cream is
hard, very difficult
to spoon out. On day 2, ice cream is very soft, easy to
spoon. On day 3,
ice cream is hard again, as on day 1.

Carton is in same position in freezer. Basically, nothing
changes. As far
as I can tell, the thermostat is working OK.

What would cause this? Any idea??

On topic, earlier this week while searching for something in
our grossly
disorganized top freezer fridge I noticed a can of Coke on
the top shelf
of the fridge section lying on its side against the back of
the
compartment. I noticed that the bottom of that can was
bulging out.

I pulled it out and the found that can of Coke was frozen
solid. Then I
noticed a small bottle of apple juice, also lying on its
side next to
the Coke can was frozen solid too. My fridge thermometer
lying inside
one of the mid height drawers read 40 degrees eff, and the
temperature
of the other things in the fridge compartment felt "OK".

I've never seen anything freeze solid in a fridge
compartment before,
I'm assuming it's because they were lying right under where
the fan
blown air from the freezer compartment enters the fridge
compartment.

Anyone agree?

Thanks guys,

Jeff
