    My refrigerator isn't cooling and now the freezer isn't freezing. The compressor is running but is there suppose to be air blowing into the back top of the freezer?

I've had the same problem and it is the thermister inside the freezer compartment. There is probably a ice build up there too. remove the 2 screws and check, you can fix this yourself and save $100 bucks.

    No problems on the Maytag fridge since replacing the thermister. Make sure though, you replace the thermister and coil Maytag part only, It is sold as one unit and snaps on and off easily, don't forget to remove the ice buildup. If the fridge is still not cooling, check the rubber seal around the door. Open the freezer side and check the seal all around for any gaps. Mine the seal was not screwed right and the seal was not setting correctly. Also, check to make sure the fridge doors are straight, they might be warped slightly causing and improper seal Those fridges are known for that.

Not Cooling properly...The dial at bottom left side of fridge---if I turn it will it help in cooling fridger more??

First the levels should never be set to the highest level? as this only stresses the compressor and runs to much cold air in only 1 compartment. If u have a cooling problem I would check my thermistors fridge and freezer side but check at very cold temperature not at room temperature. and check for continuity and for the OHMS rating as well according to ur schematic. also check ur cold control thermostat. and air flow control damper

The temperature of the fridge has risen to 11/12 degrees & wont come down? Freezer works fine! Any answers please

Don't know the make and model of your fridge, but most fridges have only one evap coil located in the freezer. The fridgerator compartment is cooled by a fan to blow air from the coil back into the fridgerator section. Check that the fan is working and the vents in the fridgerator are not blocked. Often the problem might be that the defrost circuit is not functioning causing ice to build up on the evap coil thus block the air flow to the fridge. If you seen any ice build up in freezer or refrigerator that could be the problem. If that is the case, then you need to have the defrost circuit troubleshot, typical failures are the heater itself or the defrost timer if you have an older model. Hope this helps you.
