hi - well, frig worked well for about 3 months. Now, we have a freezer temp at 0 ti -2 and a frig temp that won't go below 48. During the day, 50 and then overnight to 48. We have unplugged it and when we did, i looked at the coils, but, they weren't dusty as we cleaned them 3 months ago.
the ice maker and water doesn't work, the temp is unstable as best. The machine is 7 years old. Is there anything else you can think of to do? i really don't want to invest any more in labor on a service call, but, also don't want to spend the $ on a new frig.
thanks!

Make sure the compressor is on. Open the freezer door and listen to the fan. If you can hear it, check the air flow inside the freezer.

Check the air flow in the fresh food compartment.
