I had my refrigerator in storage for a few months this summer, and when I hooked it back up a few weeks ago the freezer was blowing warm air and neither the fridge nor freezer were cooling. I replaced the cold control hoping that would fix my problem, but no such luck.

I've been digging around, and chatting with various people, but I keep getting different recommendations on what the problem might be. Everything from defrost thermostat, to relay/starter kit, to freon, to compressor.

Here is what I know, the refrigerator runs fine and blows air, but it is warm. The compressor runs, but is hot to the touch. I do not have a lot of expertise, or testing equipment. Does anyone have any suggestions based on my model of what this might be that I can repair myself?

Thanks in advance.
