Hi, My Problem Is That My Freezer Is Not Cold Enough. A Thermometer Inside Shows A Temp Between 18-20 Degree's Farenheight. Some Things Like Bread And The Like Are Semi-soft. The Thermostat Is Turned Up To Maximum. Any Suggestions?

Should be reading-5 to+5. Clean coils and fan ant back bottom of unit very weel. If these are dirty, it is difficuilt for it to remove heat. Could also be a slow running evaporator fan motor or bad cold control. Are you sure the temp is turn up all the way or did you turn the dial up for the damper that sends cool air to ref side? Just asking because I have hade many calls in the past where this was the case.

Thanks Jdman For Responding. The Answer Is That The Freezer In Question Is An Upright Freezer With No Refrigerator. I Looked Underneath And It Looks Pretty Clean In There. The Thermostat Is Turned Up To 5, The Highest It Will Go. The Model Number Is Kenmore # 253.9284011. Thanks Ed

Sorry. Could be low on refrigerant. Does the compressor run continously? Also could be the cold control.

I've got the same problem. Same model type. Except it is speratic. It will work fine for a few days then I notice there is water on the floor and everything is on the soft side but it's still blowing cool air.

What did you wind up doing.

Yes, I just vaccumed a lot of dust out of bottom and cleaned and it is still not cold (refrigerator) Freezer is making ice but smal pieces

[lamallamo]

I am afraid that the refrigerator is not cold enough and I will get sick from eating the food. The Freezer is cold but not keeping, for example, ice cream solid. It turns to mush
