This may be an air flow problem. Open the freezer when you hear the machine running, and see if the evaporator fan is running. Also see if the condenser fan is running. Check to make sure the damper and return air duct are free of obstruction or blockage. What is the temperature inside the freezer?

I Will Check For Blockage..don't See Much There. Just I Might Have Some I Bet Maybe Under The Refridge Maybe Due To Cat Hair Build Up?? Will The Coil Thats Under The Fridge If Clogged Cause This Cold Problem? Or Could This Be A Freon Problem What So Ever? Just Trying To Seperate The 2. Will Advise On A 24 Hr Reading Temp Of Freezer On Weds. Thanks

The condenser coil is the place where the refrigerator transfers the heat from the inside to the outside. If it's insulated by dust, lint, cat hair, or anything like that, its efficiency can be significantly reduced.

Yes. the condenser is under the refrigerator. This is a very good brush. When you push it into the coil and pull it back out, most of the lint clings to the brush. Part number: AP4320046

Sounds ideal. Check refrigerator temperature; With controls set to mid-range, it should be somewhere near 38 degrees.
