fridge not very cool even when temp set low, freezer normal, air coming from diffuser is very low, but, shut fridge off, turn back on, lots of cold air for 5 seconds then it slows down even with door closed, thermistor maybe?

Remove freezer back panel and check for heavy frost on the coils or in the air returns.

If you have a motor controlled damper door, jam a wad of duck tape in the opening to keep the door half way open. Measure the freezer and fridg temperatures after a period of time, should be around zero for freezer, 41 for fridg. If ok, replace the fresh food thermistor. It might be in the damper door harness.

turned fridge off, when pushed button and turned back on diffuser snaps open then slowly closed, tried to put popsicle stick to hold open and crushed it. so took it right out, fridge icey cold this afternoon, so I assume thermistor not telling it to open up, am I correct? or could be temp control board?

If freezer temperature near zero, you most probably have a bad fridg thermistor in the fresh food section, a thin, white, plastic item.

New fresh food thermistor installed, turned fridge on, diffuser snaps open, then slowly closed up completely again, not allowing any air through, as before, what to check next? thanks
