Frig trouble
I would check to see if the vents or drain are plugged.

That needs to be done every six months, but no one does it. Steve |

I would just let it thaw out, and not go looking for trouble by taking the fridge apart. Since the freezer was still running all that time, warm air got in .... ice formed that clogs the vents. When the ice melts it will be back to normal. |

I've seen in stores where they have a looooong thin brush that will fit between the coil layers and attaches to your vacuum. Looked like a good idea. Anyone ever use one? |
