Damper problem.
This ice box has a damper which is controlled by a thermostat. When the fresh side be warm that damper opens and allows cold air to enter the fresh food section. It must be gone out. it is what i would check.

Not sure if I understood how everything else appears to work if the fridge is warming instead of cooling. Frost buildup will occur if the fridge is cooling - can't have frost if fridge is warming up.

Your fridge has become a heater - most likely the control unit has packed up.

You can check this diagram to confirm the position etc of the control board. It is item 801. Please confirm if the diagram is consistent with your model.

Good luck. Please call a technician if you are not comfortable with replacing the parts.

SOURCE: Refrigerator/freezer quits working, I unplug it, plug it back in, and it works great for a week or so. What do I need to replace to fix this problem?

the freezer coil is probably freezing up. if so you have a bad defrost thermostat, heater, timer or board or combination of them.

The freezer is cold but why is the refrigerator warm?

Likely, either your circulation fan has stopped working due to icing, or you have ice buildup in the cold air duct between the freezer and refrigerator. Try unplugging your refrigerator overnight with the doors open, mop up any melt water with towels, then plug the refrigerator back in next day. Listen for the circulation fan in the freezer and, if it is not working or not moving air, replace the circulation fan.

My refrigerator is not cooling the freezer works

We have this refrigerator and what you described is a chronic problem. (I hate this refrigerator!) Our repairman got tired of hearing from us so often and told us how to fix it ourselves! Take everything out of the freezer side and unplug it. Remove the white back part inside the freezer part. There are 2 screws at the top. The inside will be full of ice. Melt the ice with warm water. It makes a huge mess so get lots of towels. Once all the ice is melted you can put everything back and plug it in. It may take a day for it to get really cool again. My long term advice is to get a new refrigerator...

Unplug the refrigerator and let the freezer completely thaw. There is ice blocking the passage between the freezer and refrigerator. Once this is melted, plug the refrigerator back in.

Your bulbs may be burnt out. Replace them if necessary.

If the defrost heating element, defrost timer or evaporater fan weren't working, you'd develop a block of ice on the evaporator. Is the compressor running? If it is, it might have bad valves from the frost buildup scenario. Liquid refrigerant could have gotten to the suction valves. The sealed system should have a five year warranty. Might be time to call a pro

Freezer works fridg dosent stay cold

When plugging it back in, check to see if you can feel air circulation (from vents in the top-rear) on the refrigeration side.
Check again after the fridge starts to warm.
There is a fan which is supposed to distribute the cooled air from the freezer to the fridge; this may be failing after the fan has warmed from operation. The bearings in these is primitive and can get sticky impeding the fan's rotation. Replacement of that fan is not covered by the (longer) compressor warranty.

Refrigerator will not get cold, but freezer works

Make sure your fan is working ,its located behind the freezers back wall. If it is working the vent from the freezer down to the refrigerator may be blocked (usually with ice).With out a fan you have no circulation but your freezer may look likes its working,it may last 3 days.Also if you can move everything out unplug it turn it off w/ doors open untill all traces of ice are gone this will free up any clogged tubes. Good luck.

GE Refrigerator Freezer warm

the frost on the back wall of the freezer is the clue to the problem. it is not defrosting as it should.
  • possible causes:
  1. bad defrost timer/control board
  2. bad defrost heater (in freezer)
  3. bad thermo switch in freezer
If you don’t know what these are then unplug the machine and let the ice melt in the freezer overnight with the door open. Then try it the next day, if is cooling fine then you need to have a service person replace one of the above items.

Samsung RS2545SH Refrigerator

Diagnostic mode will say what any electronic issues are. Check to see if there is, if any, frost build up on the rear panel or ports. If the unit had made any noise in the refrigerator. This unit may have a switching valve for the twin cool, so it could be an issue there.
