replaced the control board a couple years ago , seemed okay for a while , recently freezer temp spikes to 16 degrees , mullion gets hot....again :mad:... Seems to be a common problem with this fridge , at least thats what a search on the net indicates. Is there any definitive fix ? Compressor? Condenser? Is it low on freezer juice? Help........

Seems like a bad condenser motor or the control board again, best to stick a fan on it to cool it down. If it is a bad control board it's best to stick a 1000 joule surge protector on the fridg outlet, just make sure it's designed for a fridg, will say on the box, available at Lowe's

Did find out that the fan does run , does this narrow things down to the condenser?

We need to know what is or isn't running when failure happens.
