The fans are running both inside and on the coils - the coils are all clean, the temperatures are displayed and all other functions seem to be working - but alas, no cold. How can I tell if I need a compressor kit or simply just replace the controller board, which looks simple enough to do? Maybe there is a starter relay or some other component in the circuit thaat may need replacement? Please help me diagnose this. Thanks

If it is plugged in like this for too long it may be come a sealed system problem. Here's the breakdown Model PSF26NGNAWW Nat

It is about a $130 part if you do it yourself. The last I checked refrigerator cost alot more then that. Goodness!!!! Tom ApplianceEducator.com
