The model number you posted does not come up. Is it an American model? If it is then verify and repost it. Also, can you be more specific on the problem?

Yes, it is. Unfortunately there is no on line access to non American models. If you can post as much description on the refrigerator and the problem as possible, it might help.

I am also in Canada.
This time of year where I am any fridge that is outside turns into one big freezer.
Also the defrost cycle runs, this puts heat into the freezer section due to the cold ambient temperature the compressor does not come on after defrost so the items in the freezer thaw.
Could be it is just too cold outside for the freezer to come on.
Also trying to start a compressor up when it is in a cold environment is not good for it as it has oil in it.

Here is some additional info
