It sounds like you may have a restriction in the sealed system.

You should call for service.

It is possible that when they manufactured your fridge, the pushed the cap tube in the dryier to far causisng contact with the screen and over time it hase become blocked and the ( Refrigerant) cannot circulate the system, there is an easy fix for this , but you must becarefull, take a pair of needle nose pliers and at the end of the drier bend it one way so that it pulls the tube away from the screen but please becarefull to much and you will make a leak, the discharge side of the compressor should become verywarm in just minutes, if this dosent fix the problem then you should definantly call for service!!!!!!!
