Kenmore (Amana)596.79142993 Refrigerator / Freezer not Cooling

Fridge @ 55 degrees and Freezer at 48 degrees

Started diagnosing by checking condenser coils which are under the unit. Vacuumed them the best I could - not very easy to get to.

Condenser fan is running fine.

Compressor is warm and feeling the 2 copper pipes coming off of it one is cool all the time and the other one sometimes gets warm but never hot - how hot should the high side pipe get? too warm too touch?

I believe the evaporator fan is working since it is spinning and there is some air coming out of the vents in the fridge and the freezer

When I took out the back wall of the freezer, there was an ice ball in one corner. The coils looked fine but there was that ice ball, maybe around the thermostat? I took a hairdryer and melted away all the ice.

I thought everything would work fine once I got rid of the ice but still not getting cold.

Not really sure what my next move is.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I decided to give up on the old fridge.

Found a replacement on Craigslist and now I'm back among those with good refrigeration.
