Hi all, I came home today and discovered my 12 year old Kenmore fridge
isn't cooling. This is a side by side model. Freezer is fine, fridge
part has a bunch of condensation all over the food/shelves. I pulled
the cover from the inside of the freezer to discover that the coils are
frozen over. Is this normal? The only servicable part appears to be a
defroster themostat, kindof looks like a blinker flasher fuse in a
car. Might that be the problem? Any help would be great! Thanks! The
Doctor

Not normal. The defroster is a big clue. Next to check is the evaporator
fan. You can get some troubleshooting steps at www.repairclinic.com

Hi,
First thing to check is always fan and defrost timer.
