We moved our refrigerator and cleaned the coils and now the coils are extremely hot and so is the outside of the fridge on the freezer side and on the divider between the the fridge and freezer.

SOURCE: Divider strip between fridge and freezer is hot

First take the grill off at the bottom under the doors look at the grate under the frig That is your condenser it will probably be covered in dust clean it off the see if you can fill air blowing under the frig there is a fan under there that keeps that coil cool and it runs around the door to keep condensation from build around the doors if no air is blowing take the back panel behind the Frig and there should be a fan running if the compressor is running this will also cause the compressor to over heat and will not cool as well but it might just need to be cleaned Good luck

SOURCE: Divider between doors has extreme heat for side-by-side model

Make sure the cooling coil is clean. Take the plastic grill off the front, underneath the doors. then clean as much as you can with a vacuum cleaner. Be careful not to bend or dent the coil tubing or fins.

The fan which cools the compressor is not working , OR , the coils under the front of fridge are very dirty .
