Such as parts? It was purchased in 2003 dont have model number etc on me....

When you open both doors, is the middle that seperates the freezer and fresh food hot to the touch? Is the freshfood door lower than the Freezer door?

When you open both fridge and freezer doors, in the middle the length or seperater for the unit from top to bottom. 2. Yes, freezer food and ice melting, ice maker has watery ice and we turned it off. 3. Yes 4. I dont think so

Pull the refer out, and remove the bottom access panel. on the right side is the condense ant to the left of the condenser is the fan. Check and see if the fan is running, and is the condenser covered in dust, lint?
