The refrigerator is not as cold as it was before. I saw in a previous post that a continuity test should be done on the defrost heater and the defrost limiter. Does this apply to my situation and how are these test done?

The first thing we have to verify is if the fan inside the freezer works properly. Depending on this fan condition we will decide how to proceed with further troubleshooting. Here are the breakdown diagrams and Parts for GE GSH25JSTASS Refrigerator - AppliancePartsPros.com Gene.

After cleaning it and banging on it a few times it started working ...not sure if it cut off or not during the night but the freezer is cold but not freezing and the refrigerator still isn't as cold as it should be.

If it does not then this is the culprit. This fan has to be replaced together with the main control board. - The condenser fan motor Part number: WR60X10209 - The main control board Part number: WR55X10942 Gene.
