Any help would be appreciated. I may call a repairman tomorrow if I can't figure anything out tonight, but I'm hoping maybe it's something simple.
I have a Sears (Kenmore) side-by-side refrigerator/freezer that is approximately 4 years old. Two nights ago we noticed water dripping out of the ice cube dispenser. Closer examination revealed that the ice was melting...and so was everything else in the freezer. Everything came out and went into our deep freeze.
I was concerned about the refrigerator side as well and put a digital meat thermometer in there to check. It was 38 degrees. No problem. The next morning, the fridge side is still working great and now the freezer side is cold again. Last night the freezer side was back to not working again.
Any thoughts on what the trouble might be? I've thought maybe a bad defrost timer or defrost thermostat, but I'm not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know there are a few refrigeration gurus on the board.
Thanks,
James
