Here is my issue: Bottom freezer is not cooling enough to keep things frozen. -Compressor running constantly and very hot (burns skin) - Fan is spinning fast and constantly - I cleaned condenser coils - I tried to unplug it and leave the compressor cool down with a domestic fan on it for 30 minutes, plugged it back and it was running hot 5 minutes later. Any help would be very appreciated! Thank you!

I suspect you are low on freon and the frost pattern will be very weak. It's a little bit of a chore to get into that section. The link below is a good video for getting it apart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVBkMsXsn_4 Take some pics of what you find back there and post them here please.

The freezer was creating a lot of ice in the bottom of the freezer. Since then, the bottom stays perfectly clear of any ice.

I used a vaccuum to empty the drain pan. Once everything was dry, I put the panel and hardware back in place and plugged the fridge. I will wait 24 hours tu see if it runs better or not. Any idea what could be the cause or what to replace? Thanks again
