The ventilations in the drawers are getting blocked.I will explain.When the unit starts,the freezer section starts cooling.When the freezer section gets cooled properly and reaches its regular temperature,then thermostat in the freezer section detects it and after this defrost procedure starts.In defrost procedure the fan in the freezer section starts running and the cool air from freezer section pass to the fridge section bu the ventilation drawers.And thus passes in all the sections.But in your case the cold air is passing to the vegetable and fruit section,but its not going to the other sections.The cold air is entering the section but its not going anywhere,just remaining there.So this parts are getting over cold.So in this case,either the defrost is not working or the coils are over frosted in the freezer section.And this causing the problem.But first try defrosting the blocked ventilation by manual defrost procedure.--------------
The defrost is not
working or the evaporator coil in the inner section of freezer is got
blocked by ice .
Try manual defrost reset
procedure: ----
First unplug the unit from main power outlet. Then empty whole unit completely. Then keep both the doors open. Wait for 24 hours. All the ice collected on the coils and in the freezer section will get melted. Clean the water from the sections. Then Connect the power cord of the unit to main power outlet after 24 hours/.Then set the temperature to normal in both fridge and freezer section. It will take near to 4 hours to get run in its proper cooling cycle. Then check, if the problem returns again. If the same problem occurs then it's defrost problem. The defrost board and the defrost thermostat/heater is not functioning properly and it has to be checked and replaced.You can get the required parts from online sites like:--- www.repairclinic.com or from searspartsdirect online site.---------This will help. Thanks. Helpmech.
Since the freezer is working the duct can be blocked . So shut off the fridge and leave it off while you clean and check the evaporator for frost. If frost is seen it is a good indication as the compressor is working with sufficient gas within.
Now after about 6 hours plug in the fridge to start. Observe cooling to happen in about one hour and ice to from under three hours.
Earlier make sure that the thermostat was set to normal mode for freezer and fridge.However if Ice forms then observe the fridge for about 24 hours for cooling to continue and the fridge to cut off . If not the auto defrost timer, or the thermostat must be checked.
If defrost timer works but frost keeps forming check while the compressor shuts if the heaters are working, check continuity of the heaters.
So try this test from the outside and make your observations so that we come to the solution.
