The fridge was working fine and only started this after being unplugged and moved. The inside of fridge is cool and freezer seems to be working fine as well. Could it be stuck in defrost mode? Defrost timer stuck perhaps? Any ideas?

Could be that your condenser coils are dirty. Since this happened after a move perhaps there is a problem with the condenser fan.

The following should help explain my reasoning in my first post. http://www.applianceaid.com/yoderloop.html
