Have you check if the fridge has a leaks?
If the freezer does not work it is often the thermostat starting the cooling process that is faulty.
Try first to defrost completely, to see if this unjam the thermic sensor, if it does not work you will need to replace the thermistor.
Check the evaporator fan , freezer must have a fan to avoid ice
formation, if evaporator does not work, thermic sensor jams up and
freezer stop working. The fan is located behind the panel in the
freezer.
Check the back of your freezer, If there is frost or ice, then the unit is not defrosting.
This is often caused by problems with evaporator system.
Sometimes you also need to check the defrost timer, located at the top of the FFC on the Top freezer.
Check also the defrost thermostat, which is on the evaporator inside
the freezer.
If
it isnt defrosting, change first thermostat , then check fan motor.
