Hi, my refrigerator and freezer are not staying cold. The issue began a few weeks ago when I would come home to a warm freezer/fridge with all of the ice melted on the floor. Turning it off and back on would reset it and it worked fine until recently, but now it won't stay cold at all. When I turn on the freezer temperature control dial nothing happens. When I turn on the refrigerator temperature control dial it turns on and the evaporator fan runs but the compressor and condensor fan don't come on at all. The lights work fine and I checked/cleaned the coils. It seems like it may be a bad adaptive defrost control board (there is no defrost "timer" on this fridge) but any help would be appreciated before I shell out for that new part.

And just to clarify, it's not that the fridge doesn't stay cold, it doesn't even get cold in the first place. It just blows room temp air out.

According to the wiring diagram J6 on the adc (adaptive defrost control) feeds power to both the compressor and the condenser fan.

Its probably a bad relay on the adc.

Thanks ThatGuy! That definitely makes sense after looking at the wiring diagram. I've ordered the replacement part and hopefully that will fix the problem.
