Ours stopped getting cool enough last winter, was "kinda" cooling, but not enough. Fixed it this way:
1. Switched from AC to LP, waited 24 hours, saw it was cooling better. This confirmed the cooling unit was OK, that the problem was AC only related, so probably the heating elements that are used in AC operation, instead of the flame used in LP operation.
2. There are 2 heater elements on our 1200 series fridge. We were going to order replacements, but tried this first: Got through to the logic board they plug into, unplugged and re-connected the heater elements. Magic! Fridge has been cold in both LP and AC ever since.
Make sure the fridge is off and unplug the AC connection to avoid shocking yourself or damaging the logic board.
