i have a whirlpool model et8chmxkb06, had it 5 years this past january. the freezer is blowing cool but not frozen, ie water in ice bin instead of ice and i moved all food to deep freeze. it is at about 38-40 degrees in the freezer. the bottom fridge is not cool at all, sitting about 50ish, maybe warmer as i have kept the thermometer in the freezer. we have cleaned all the fuzzy stuff from front and back, with vacuum and air compressor. there was a power outage yesterday morning that threw everything off for a few seconds and the fridge did come back on, but this is when the problem started. are we done for? there is no man around, so please be patient if i ask dumb questions. there are just things i am not able to do lifting and moving wise. any help appreciated. i just really need to know if it is worth trying to get to the bottom of the issue or just going and getting a new one. thanks!

we had the back off this morning, and both were running.

the repairman came this afternoon and the seal system thing is what it was, so it is done for. thanks for the help, i am on the hunt for a new one tomorrow. this place is great, so nice to have a place to ask questions!
