I have a Kenmore coldspot side by side- not cooling properly

I have a Kenmore coldspot side by side refrigerator and the refrigerator and freezer won't stay cold enough unless the frig temp. is set to "5". if not, frig items aren't really cold and the freezer items melt.

    I have the exact same problem with mine.. I changed the temp.. since my vegetables kept freezing.... notice everything in my freezer went soft.. even changing the setting back to how it was... my ice cream still is the consistancy of soft serve.

Setting it to 5 is what the manufacturer recommends. If you set it to 1 and the frig is still not cold, then you probably have a faulty cold control (thermostat)

Kenmore coldspot not making ice, and not cooling in the bottom

Your refrigerator is frosted up. Remove the inside panel of your freezer. Defrost the ice out of the coils and check the heater and bi-metal. If both are good then your defrost timer is bad. If one is bad replace and you have it fixed. Good luck.
