Todd for Model Number FRT21FS5AW1 My refrigerator is not getting cold enough, it stays around 48-50 f. I have the thermostat set to coldest setting. Everything turns off like it reaches the proper temp but it's still to warm. If I adjust the temp control to mid setting it again operates like normal but might be 55 f. I checked the fans and defrost and all of that looks good. Plenty of air flow. Everything seems to be working fine. It appears as if the thermostat is confused about the temp of the fridge and is shutting down too soon. Is that possible and if so would the cold control part be the proper thing to replace? If it was a compressor problem or the fridge was just wearing out, wouldn't the compressor an fan keep running in an attempt to reach the cold temp?
Answer Todd, The cold control would be the most likely cause for the refrigerator section getting too warm if the defrost system is good and there is a good frost pattern on the coils. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Wednesday, June 22, 2016
