Check to see if the condenser fan at the back underneath the fridge is running. It should be running.
Is the compressor motor near that fan running.
Are the coils warm ,cold or hot. Should be warm.

Is the evaporator fan in the freezer running. It should be running.

Below the evaporator fan is the evaporator coils. Remove the back cover in the freezer to observe the frost pattern. stopped up? clear? ice in one spot . frost everywhere. should be lightly frosted.

Check to see if the condenser fan at the back underneath the fridge is running. It should be running. – No Fan
Is the compressor motor near that fan running. – The motor is vibrating, looks running.

Are the coils warm ,cold or hot. Should be warm. – The coil is cold

Is the evaporator fan in the freezer running. It should be running. – This unit is refrigerator only, no Freezer.

Below the evaporator fan is the evaporator coils. Remove the back cover in the freezer to observe the frost pattern. stopped up? clear? ice in one spot . frost everywhere. should be lightly frosted. – Clear. May be due to it has been warm for 2 days.

Can you please give me further idears?

With the compressor running and the condenser coils not warm, either the compressor is bad or low on freon. Tech needed.
