Doesn't feel like any air is blowing. I unplugged it to allow it to completely defrost and have the same problem. I did the dollar test and it didn't come out easily at all, suction seems to still be pretty good. It seems to be a motor going, but I'm not sure what it is. The food has almost completely thawed and I don't know what to do. I hope this is something that I can repair myself, as I am very handy. If not, I'm wondering if I should just buy a new one. Thanks guys.

Remove the evaporator coil cover so you can see the coils. Are they getting cold? Is there a frost pattern that is fairly even over the entire coil? If there is an evaporator fan, is it running? Is the compressor running? I would not buy a new unit until I was confident that I knew what was wrong with the old one. Here is a good site with repair info http://www.applianceaid.com/repair-help.html Note that much of the info on refidgerators will also apply to you if your unit has auto defrost.
