Got home from work and grabbed a cold one. Noticed it wasn't as cold as normal. Then grabbed some chops for dinner from the meat drawer. Opened them and OMG. Checked the chicken and burger and bad as well. Noticed no ice was made either. I opened both doors for 5 minutes and the fan never kicked on. Turned down the temp all the way and still nothing. Recently I replaced the freezer defroster element. Right now I'm at 54* in the meat drawer (ouch) Looks line I'm dead in the water. What should I look at? fan motor, control board, Compressor? Thanks

Check the compressor in the back, probably cold and not running.

I did not get a chance to check compressor this morning. But the fan (freezer) was running and the freezer temp was -2.2*. Fridge (fresh food) side temp was 48* Does this narrow things down a bit? Anything else I should check?

Pull out the motherboard in the back and check for a bad solder joint under the big power relay, if bad, re-solder.
