Freezer freezes items but the refrigerator is not keeping items cold. Is there a way to check the condensor fan motor in the freezer or could it be something else?

The fridge gets its cold air from the freezer through a vent between the freezer and fridge.The fan in the freezer blows air through it. There is a flap you adjust with the fridge temp. control. Make sure it's open.


If the evaporator coils behind the back panel of the freezer are icing up because of auto defrost failure that will stop the circulation of cold air and eventually affect the freezer too.

The fan in the freezer should be running when the compressor is with the door shut.

If the fan is running it's ok. If not replace it. If there is lots of ice on the coils near the fan you probably have a defrost system problem.
