Can only suggest you take it appart and write notes on each part removed, When you put it back together try to figure out whats wrong.

found this.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_DKNtgd5vI If you have a Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Roper, Estate or Kenmore defrostable refrigerator, that is leaking at its bottom and building up ice, you may have a plugged bottom drain line. This video will show you how to unclog this line. hope it helps.

You may have a defective defrost timer, it is the common reason if the refrigerant pump is working and there are no refrigerant leaks.

Is the compressor kicking on at all?

if freezer gets iced up the fan designed to pass cold air from the freezer to the fridge stops working. The freezer is meant to go into a defrost mode when its trtansducer senses too much ice. If the transducer goes fault the ice builds up. Some fridges use a timer to work this out so it could be a timer fault. Talk to a service man about how much ice the freezer should have for them to sucessfully diagnose the fault. Too much ice may prevent the service man from working out if temperature sensor is working and no ice can prevent him from testing sensor. To get rid of ice you have to trun off the power to the fridge and let it melt. BEWARE remove food to another freezer and fridge to prevent food going off or getting food poisioning

Do you see it dripping from the top of the fridge compartment? You probably have a clogged drain.

probably dust, hair, lint plugging the drains. you have pets? have it serviced by a professional, or you can disassemble all the drain lines and conduit and pans and clean yourself. good luck call a PROFESSIONAL

Does your ice dispenser deliver water only or is there nothing at all?

Most likely a bad thermostat Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/sean_54c3a3dc48a7773c

I\'ve been struggling trying to keep our 2 goldens dog hair from the coils of our 8 year old Kenmore side by side with "W" compressor coils, but like everyone else was unable to clean past the first set of coils.I came up with this solution that worked to get much of the big stuff, hair and bunnies, off of the further back coils. Not perfect but much better than nothing.Removing the back lower panel I was able to snake a crevice attachment from our vacuum down the right side of the coils (left side looking from back)Looking from front"I made a compressed air contraption to blow the dust/hair across the coils using a compressed air nozzle that I added a 10" long tube and a 90 degree deflectorFrom the front of the fridge, on the left side of the coils, I snaked the compressed air nozzle towards the back and started directing the air stream blowing towards the vacuum crevice tool at the opposite side of the coils.The compressed air dislodged the hair/dust enough that the vacuum was able to suck it away. Again, not perfectly but certainly much better than I was able to clean the coils in the past.I suppose you could use a can of compressed air and add some sort of deflector if you don\'t have a compressor.I then got to thinking how to prevent the dust from accumulating on the coils, I\'m going to try an air conditioner filter. I cut it slightly oversized to fit the front opening then split it in half to make it thinner for more air flow. Picture taken before making the filter thinner. For years I had my calendar remind me monthly to vacuum the coils but now hopefully I\'ll be able to simply change the air filter.

You may have several issues, first, check the drain at the back is clear and not over flowing your door seals maybe warn the indoor fan may not be running defrost timer may not be functioning right. last refrigerant may be short

We'll it shouldn't be anything too difficult and all you will need is a hose line the same diameter. You should be able to join it
