I have a Kennmore (1069730580) refrigerator that the freezer is not freezing the food anymore. There is no frost/ice buildup in the freezer and I have already cleaned the coils to no avail. It appears that the fan is running but it doesn't feel like blowing that hard? The refrigerator seems to be working fine?

If you have any cooling and the compressor is running, you have a bad refrigerant leak, or a bad compressor. Check the compressor, it should be warm and vibrating. Also verify the condensing fan is running.

Thanks Rich, I was looking a little more at it today and the compressor was running but there is no airflow in either the frig or freezer. So I would guess that the Evap. fan is not working? Were is it located under the unit or inside the frig?

Remove the freezer back panel and check the evaporator fan motor. If no meter, you can pull it and stick 115 volts to it to see if it will run.

Thanks again Rich, which back panel? On the outside of the frig. or inside the frig? Can't find any IPC's for this model? I have the wiring diagram. I have a meter but before I take the unit outside and tear it down, which I might not need to do I figure I would ask. Plan on doing this hopefully tomorrow.

Right, just remove the food and panel, motor should have windings and 115 volts printed on it.

Good job, normally very little oil is needed in these as they come already lubricated with special non-detergent, light oil.
