Kenmore refrigidaire, bottom freezer

Have you checked that the door is closing ok and that the door seals are meeting the door frame all round?
Do the things that freeze sit at the top of the freezer? if so it could be
the coolant gas has slowly leaked out. A good indication this has happened is that the bottom of the freezer is a lot warmer than the top. To repair a serviceman will first cut the coolant pipe and drain (and capture) the existing gas and then recharge, re-pressurise and seal.

Sounds like you might have a leak in the sealed system and it is gradualy getting worse.

DON'T BY ICE CREAM! LOL Try putting ur ice cream somewere else

Sounds like you need to just use the bottom portion.

bread and ice cream are the 1st things to defrost and it sounds like a gas problem and at 25 years old time for a new i think.

Ice Cream is the hardest thing to freeze in a fridge /freezer unit , you need a least 0 deg F
to harden ice cream. If the ice cream was satisfactory before the repair and the stat is set to max. it is possible you have an over charger refrigeration circuit.

I would take the freezer bowls out of the freezer, run them both under the sink to thaw both bowls out, dry both bowls thoroughly, and then set them both on the counter so that the liquid settles toward the bottom of the freezer bowls. After 1 hour, place the bowls FLAT back into the freezer - don't forget to wrap them in a plastic grocery bag or some other sort of plastic bag. Try to make ice cream again after 24 hours or more of freezing. Let me know if this works, so I can pass the good news along to others.

Use slightly warm ingredients or leave the freezer bowl out of the freezer for a few minutes before beginning - this will help if the rim around bowl freezes so fast that it stops the paddle from moving. When working optimally, I found that 3 different Cuisinart ice cream maker models will produce the best ice cream at around 14 to 20 minutes - no more than that. But it varies by your exact model #.

I have the same problem, but it seems that it has gotten worse with time. When I first bought this product 6 years ago it worked fine, now the bowl won't freeze entirely and it has been in the freezer for two days (at the lowest freezer setting). I am wondering if the freezer bowl has a life span.

between the door and freezer is very hot, and the refrigerator is not that cold and the freezing is freezing but not that well, ice cream is soft but meat freeze and ice is not melting. Also behind the fridge at the bottom is very hot.
