Angry Fride cooling great, freezer stuck at 40 degrees
Brand: Kenmore
Model Number: 1069535510
Age: More than 10 years

Somebody help I'm really frustrated we bought this fridge, and got it home, the fridge had been sitting for a year unplugged, we brought it home cleaned it up, plugged it in and the fridge side is working well, but the freezer seemed to be ok last night, this morning woke up and it had frozen almost a bottle of water and halfway a bottle of apple juice, when I stand in front of it I can feel cold air coming from the bottom but not the top fan, and the temp in it has stayed at 40 degrees all day and the settings are on the coldest they go. What could be wrong.

You might have a bad evaporator fan or bad door switch. Pull freezer back panel and apply 115 volts directly to evaporator fan.
If it works, look for problems in the door switch. You will need a meter to check which switch contacts are bad. If it doesn't work, replace fan motor.
