I have the above noted Whirlpool. The freezer is not keeping everything frozen, especially around the bottom of the unit. Ice cream/popsicles wont stay frozen but ice does. I have cleaned the compressor coils, checked the defrost coils (very little snow on the coils when checked) and made sure there is no dust on anything under the unit. I can hear the compressor kick on, occasionally it will kick on the shut off right away but if I unplug the unit and plug it back in, that solves the problem. The compressor fan runs 24/7 as I believe the defrost fan does also. The unit gets cold, drinks and everything in the refreigerator compartment are cold - so I don't think it's the compressor. Any ideas?

richappy,

Thanks for the response. I don't have a thermometor - but I can buy one if needed. I can tell you this, I put a bottle of water in the freezer last night around 8pm and I checked this morning at 8:30am and the water was half slushy half liquid. I have the settings for the temperature control at the recommended settings. Also, I have confirmed the condenser is working and the fan is running, in fact it runs 24/7. Yesterday after I cleaned the coils and removed the small back panelling to let more airflow, it was the first time in 2 months that the fan had shutoff.

Ice is freezing and staying frozen, but the rest of the freezer appears to not be getting cool enough.
