HELP!
That said, last night the wife noticed the Fridge leaking and thought we left the Freezer door open. Leaking continued all night and in this morning all of the food had defrosted and the temp in the freezer was 44 degrees farenheit.

I cleaned the jelly roll and fan in the back, behind the grate. They were very dusty. Freezer never cooled down. I can't run a "Self-diagnostic" because I have dial temp adjustments. I read that I should check the frost on the evap behind the panel in the freezer. Opened it up, no frost or ice at all. Both fans work and are running with the power on. Lights turn off when the door is closed. The compressor is room temp.

Any ideas? Motherboard?

I'm not working and I really don't need to drop $800-$1000 right now.

Thanks,
Matt

If the compressor is room temp, it must not be working. I had one yesterday the same way, and the motherboard was the answer. It is easy. Tom ApplianceEducator.com

Thanks for the info! I was hoping the entire fridge wasn't a complete loss.

Before ordering a board you may want to check the compressor windings, the start relay and the overload.

Here is the parts breakdown
