My freezer gets cold on the bottom but does not freeze anything. I never hear the fan come on. I replaced the thermostate but still the same. What part should I try next. I have model FFU14FC4CW1

Hello,

If the compressor comes on the thermostat is good, what you need to check is for power to the fan in the freezer, if power present at fan but it doesn't run the fan motor is bad.

Freezer not getting cold enough to freeze.

First culprit could be a refrigerant leak and needs to be charged. If the evaporator is frozen solid it won't push enough sub zero air to freeze. Call a trusted ac&or repair man
