Replaced the thermostat, Fridge still gets hot to the touch on the divider wall between the fridge and freezer. So hot that the door of the fridge is hot. Temperature of both fridge and freezer is good but it appears to be running non stop.
Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

You either have a dirty condensor, or the condensor fan is not running. Take the rear access cover off and verify. Keep me posted.

Thank you.
I will check that out as soon as possible and tell you what I find.
Thanks for the lead!

I put in a new condensor fan and everything is working fine now. Thank you for your help! The coils were not that dusty all though I did clean them with a condensor brush while I was down there.
Also just a quick helpful hint: the listed replacement motor for the condensor fan was $70-$120, found a replacemnt condensor fan motor ($44) for kenmore that had a two wire hookup instead of the plug in that fed the original motor. Three srews that bolted to the bracket instead of the plate->bracket that the original motor fit onto. All is the same electrically and all is working well!
Thaks again for the great help!
