Set at 0 but runs about 8 degrees up to about 14 degrees. Sometimes drops back to 0-1 degree. It had always seemed to be stable. After reading some posts on this forum I became suspicious that perhaps the main board was the problem. The fan in the lower right corner of the fridge when you look from the back seems to be barely running. Any idea if this may qualify for any type of extended service support? the unit is about 3 and a half years old. Serial number is DM053512 thanks

In the interim, I would put a portable fan in back to cool the condenser, then order the parts, AP4436216 for the motherboard and AP379724 for the condensing fan motor. You will need to swing out the condenser to change the motor.

Also the external sides of the fridge on the lower half seemed to be extremely warm. Now with the fan in the back seem back to normal. Thanks again,
