Answer

Imagerep, if the temperature sensors matched up to what the display was showing, the first step would be identifying if there were any bags or items blocking up the return vent between the fresh food and freezer sides. If clear, the freezer and evaporator thermistors WR55X10025 would need to be tested. With power supply to the appliance turned off, the thermistors would be tested from the main control WR55X11130 at connection J1.
