Our Refrigerator was working fine, and then all of a sudden started to raise temp in the Freezer (+10 degrees F). The Refrigerator was still holding at 40 degrees F.
Checking the compressor lines after reset at first has a very cold outlet, but quickly goes to barely cool. Fan is running strong, but freezer won't pull down any more, and after working on it (requires opening doors a lot) is now at +30 degrees.

Is it low on freon (134) or compressor going bad? No bad noise. Also, evidently new compressor no longer available.:(

If no frost on the back freezer panel, you probably have a refrigerant leak/bad compressor.
