Freezer is cold but not freezing, ice maker works, fan and condenser works(no built up ice/frost) compressor works, fridge is cold, divider front wall of freezer is hot to touch (on and off).....HELP!!!!!!

Make sure your condensing fan in the back is running and condenser is not clogged with lint. If ok, your compressor is overheating possibly due to low refrigerant charge or a clogged capillary.

Thanks for the reply Rich, low refrigerant and clogged capillary means I'm SOL on this 3yr old fridge. I guess I'll start shopping for a new one...

Before junking, take a look at the freezer coils, may be all clogged up with frost which is relatively easy to fix.

If there is a problem with the cooling system and your fridge is just 3 years old, it should be under the manufacturer warranty and they have to fix it without any charge to you.

freezer coil is fine no frost. like i said fridge is working fine. the ice maker is still making ice. I changed the defrost heater last year. I know I only have one year warranty when I bought it so warranty is out the question. I'd like to fix it to save some money but i guess my wife is in favor of just buying a new one. thanks for trying to help guys. I'll just put this one in my garage and just used it as my beer fridge.
