You're probably noticing the defrost cycle. Let me guess. About 25
minutes long time, and either three or four times a day? The cold
control (thermostat) is typically in the fridge. The freezer relies
on the blast of cold air from the evaporator.

I don't think so. This temperature cycle repeats over and over, every
time I check the temp. It didn't do this the first three months. My
old refrigerator didn't either - when the the defrost cycle occured
it was seldom and pretty obvious.


The OP needs to see if any vents are blocked, and if he is always
checking at the same times or not, maybe the change to non-daylight
savings time has altered when he checks the temp.


My state (AZ) doesn't do daylight savings time. Also, I check at random
times - probably five or six times a day.

A few degrees
change is normal, but if it varies by more than 5 degrees in any non-
deforst time period, something is wrong.


That's what I think too. Now to try to convince the repair guy tomorrow.
If not, I guess I'll have to wait until the freezer thaws my stuff. Then
I suspect/hope I'll be believed.
