refrigerator too warm, freezer works fine

Hi @akrueger22149

Here's the tech sheet for your model.

Run service mode Tests #2 & #3 as described by the guide and check if the refrigerator temp sensor (RC thermistor), the evaporator fan and the baffle motor are all OK.

The fan, the baffle motor and the temp sensor are all used in conjunction to control the flow of the cold air from the freezer compartment into the refrigerator section to keep it at the correct temperature.

The sensor will signal the control to close the baffle when the correct temp is reached because you don't want the refrigerator getting too cold. When the temperature rises (door opening etc losing cold air) above the preset upper limit the baffle will be opened again (and perhaps the compressor and evaporator fan started if they are stopped at the time) to drive the temp back down again to be within the set lower and upper limits.

You can also check if the baffle and fan are working OK by opening the refrigerator door when the compressor is operating and then manually operating the door switch. The switch not only turns the light on/off it is also used to signal the control that the door is open and to turn off the fan. Use this to check if you can feel any cold air being blown into the refrigerator through the air tower.

Another method to check if the fan operating inside the freezer compartment is by listening for it. It will be operating when the compressor is operating and will stop when a door is opened (either door) and start again when the door(s) are shut. The compressor will keep on running though. Do not confuse this fan with the condenser fan which is outside the compartments, underneath near the compressor and can run at any time, regardless of the doors.

If the above doesn't show anything untoward then check what the defrost cycle time is set for i.e. either ADC On or Basic Mode On - see Test #7.

If it is on ADC On, change to Basic On and then check if the refrigerator temp gets to the correct temp and stays there OK. If it does then it's something associated with the defrost cycle

If you find the problem and it's a part that needs replacing, here's the parts list that is useful. Locate the wanted part in the list and then once found, note the manufacturer's part number that is linked with it. Search online for the part number only to find suppliers that suit you best.

You can also search online on YouTube for (insert wanted part number) replacement and sometimes if you're lucky, there are videos posted which show how to remove/replace the part.

Apologies for the long answer but I think that if you know what should be happening, then it's easier to find out what wrong when it isn't.
