the center post on this side by side refrigerator is hot to the touch.
hey bp2, your fridge has the symptom of needing a good condenser coil cleaning. A good shop vac and a brush from APPros 4210463RW may assist with this endeavor. Recommend unplugging first and remove covers to get to the condenser coil. Had one customer do this with the fridge running and ran the brush right into the condenser fan blade bending it where it stopped running. Good luck and don’t put this chore off for a rainy day. High operating pressures from dirty coils is probably the leading cause of compressor failure. Cheers kooler
