I have a refrigerator out in the garage that has not been performing
well lately. The freezer portion is keeping things cold, but the
refrigerator side keeps things barely chilly. On advice I received in
this newsgroup, I unplugged the entire thing and let it sit overnight,
then plugged it back in. Worked great, but a few weeks later it
happened again. I repeated the procedure, and again it worked, but now
it's done it a third time. Any idea why this keeps happening and what
I can do to prevent it?

Thanks.

Iced coils from a defective defrost system will do that, as well as a
defective evaporator
fan. Go to www.applianceaid.com and www.repairclinic.com

As well as the obvious, but often overlooked, controls inside
the fridge controlling cold air movement to freezer and fridge
compaartment. And storing stuff inside fridge that blocks
air flow.

Thanks to you both for your replies. I'll investigate further and hope
it's as simple as Lee's suggestion. Edwin, those links are invaluable,
so thanks!
