Look on the back panel inside the freezer for ice beginning to show. Most times when this happens the fresh food section is the first to notice. Your refrigerator has a control board on the back. If not defrosting the air flow to the fresh food section is greatly reduced. Let me know, Sea Breeze

it seems like you have a minor gas leak

to be running quite is normal. Did you shut it off for a reason or did you have a problem?

I always look underneith the ice box to see if cobwebs and dust buildup is clogging the fins and condenser motor. Clean that up all nice and she might work a little better. Look for frost on the back of the freezer, that indicates a bad heater. Listen for the fan motor in the freezer section. If it quits the cold air cannot get into the fresh food section. Check the damper (if applicable) to see if it is opening and allowing cold air from the freezer to get to the fresh food compartment. Look for to many food items in the freezer section blocking the cold air. If she needed freon you would fell absolutely no heat on the conderser coils below the ice box. MORE

This has several issues you might need to look into.

First, your refridgerator you selected shows it is a front load washer. I know that can't be right.

Second. Your temp setting. It should be set in a manner that allows the humidity to exhaust out.

Third, Your refridgerator compressor is about to go out.

Fourth, you are placing alot of warm food into refridgerator, and holding the door open too long. This sometimes shuts the compressor off.

Also peer behind your refridgerator. Is there alot of debris, dirt, brooms, etc behind there. If so clear it out completely.

On the front of some refridgerators there is a grill that can be removed carefully. You will see cooling fins on the inside of this.

Very very gently remove the dirt and debris off of this. The fins bend very easily, so becareful.

At the same time check drip pan, and empty if needed.

If none of these things seem to do the trick, contact a service technician, something tells me it is your defrost sensor, or compressor.

my refridgerator is not getting cold but the freezer seems to be working fine. can anybody please give me some advice on what this could be. We had a new defrost element put in a few weeks ago and we now have moved house so fridge is cool but not really cold enough model E402B any help would be appreciated.
thanks pam

you could find ice behind the back panel - worth a check. however the problem is probably ice in the return vent from fridge to freezer and the only way to cure is to switch off and leave for a day with doors open. if im right and you try this, if it re-occurs you may have a problem with the defrost system
