My problem is -freezer fine-but fridge has stopped chilling

My problem is -freezer fine- but fridge has stopped chilling - is/are there any commonly known faults that could be causing this? I am not very technically minded with regard to this matter so be gentle with me. Control panel also seems to be fine re compartment temperatures FF and the control of,however thermostat symbol constantly flashing, is that trying to tell me something?. On the face of it, it looks as if it's something simple but with my luck it will probably something major!

Sounds like the freezer/refrigerator circulating fan is wearing out. When this fan starts to wear out the fans force is reduced to a point that it will keep the freezer cold, but doesn't have enough force to circulate air thru the refrigerator. The minimum cost to repair this problem is around $300.00

Fridge freezer stoping after 24 hrs

most of these freezers have an automatic defrost cycle.
after so many hours of chilling it will stop and run a de-icing cycle.
this is accomplished by one or two heating elements.
if one of the elements is burned out it will not run the defrost cycle.
and will ice up quickly.
depending on the model the heaters will usually cost about 15 to 20 dollars and they are easy to replace.
look up the model of your freezer and download the pdf files they will usually have a pictorial diagram showing the location
a defrost timer usually does nt fail on them unless it is physically damaged.

My whirlpool ART 900G fridge freeser, the freezer works but the fridge wont chill

Check the fan that moves the air from the freezer side to the refrigerator side. It is either stuck in ice or not working. Defrost the refrigerator for 24 hours and then restart it Listen for the fan operation be aware that the fan may shut off when you open the door, so listen closely. Defrosting it may fix or the fan may need to be replaced.

Items in freezer melting, Ice maker empty, fridge feeling warm

hi there,

you have 2 problems:

frist check the freezer thermostat and make sure that it's set to at least 5 or 6. if that is okay and you still have this problem, you may need to have the thermostat replaced and maybe more.

as far as the icemaker, if it's just the ice part that does not work, i would recommend checking the valve and water line coming into the icemaker.

can you tell me if this is a side by side or a top or bottom mount freezer? if you have the model #, that would be great.

Water pours down the back(Internally) ofmy Liebherr Frost Free Fridge freezer.

It is most likely a broken water tank in back wall of refrigerator section remove the crisper drawers you will see the tank it holds about 1.5 gal of water to keep it chilled for the dispenser. check all around it with the water on and someone getting water out of the dispenser at the same time check the seams closely. you should find the leak there let me know if not we may have to look into the water inlet valve
