Any yellow or green powder on the coils?
That is a great idea. I read about the limp mode when the thermomister is unplugged. I will do that !
The tubing that runs up the fridge backside is black with dust.
I used my temp gun and get 0F to -4F in the freezer. What is normal for the freezer ? Temp gun shows around 50F on the fins in the fridge.
The thermomister is on the furthest right fin middle of the fin. The clamp makes it difficult to put on any other fin.
Temp guns are not the best method to measure fridge temps with but 0*F/-4*F is perfect temps for freezer
50*F on food compartment fins is NOT good.....cooling unit has blockage between freezer and food compartment
With that cold of freezer temps food compartment should be 38*F
Have you been running fridge 'off level'?????
Force cool it with thermistor unplugged BUT doubt if you will see improvement in food compartment temps
Fin temps should be 10*F lower then food compartment temps measured with a bulb thermometer in glass of water sitting on shelf
