* I removed all food and I turned off the refrigerator for 12 hours. This morning there was a large puddle of water near the fridge. I turned on the fridge and the back (condenser?) fan is running.
* After having the fridge off for 12 hours, I let the fridge run for two hours and the refrigerator went from 60' F to 45’ F. This makes me think it was a defrosting issue, right? Now, how would I test which part of the defrosting system is malfunctioning?
* I removed the evaporator fan cover and I can see that the fan is spinning when the fridge is on. I can also put my hand against the top vent within the fridge and I feel cold air coming through.
* I opened the refrigerator top panel and the damper is open. This is after I had the fridge off for 12 hours. Perhaps open is the default position and I need to watch it work.
Hi all,
Yesterday I noticed my fridge was warm while my freezer was cold.

What else should I do? Thanks for any help!
