Fridge is 65 F freezer is 0 F. inside edge of left door (bottom freezer model) is quite warm. Fan is blowing in fridge, light frost in freezer. is there any way to manually start the defrost cycle and go from there?

It has a number of diagnostics you can run. Is the compressor running ll the time? This would be a symptom of a defrost problem. If it is cycling normally then it is probably a problem with the damper (Item 15 in Section 6) of the parts. It controls the amount of cold air entering the fresh food section. Could be a problem with it, or the control electronics or the fresh food thermistor.

I also unplugged it for about a half hour trying to reset it. still acts the same, but the left door is no longer warm on the inner edge. thx.
