Check to see if the condenser fan at the back bottom of fridge is running.
Is the compressor motor near that fan running.
Are the coils warm ,cold or hot.

Is the evaporator fan in the freezer running. It blows cold air into the fridge side through a damper in the wall between the freezer and fridge. Make sure the damper is open.

Below the evaporator fan is the evaporator coils. Remove the back cover in the freezer to observe the frost pattern. stopped up? clear? ice in one spot . frost everywhere.

How about taking the back off the bottom back of the refrigerator, and determinre if the compressor is running. Fell the compressor, and see if it is hot. If it is not running, it could be the compressor, or the overload and relay attached to it. If you need me you can reach me at my website at ApplianceEducator.com Tom
