So hot that the door of the fridge is hot. Temperature of both fridge and freezer is good but it appears to be running non stop. Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

The coils were not that dusty all though I did clean them with a condensor brush while I was down there. Also just a quick helpful hint: the listed replacement motor for the condensor fan was $70-$120, found a replacemnt condensor fan motor ($44) for kenmore that had a two wire hookup instead of the plug in that fed the original motor. Three srews that bolted to the bracket instead of the plate->bracket that the original motor fit onto. All is the same electrically and all is working well! Thaks again for the great help!
