- This is exactly what happens when the blower fan quits. The freezer/
- compressor is still ok but the cold air can't circulate to the refer
- part - thus the "freeze up" in the freezer and no cold elsewhere. Find
- the fan and replace it - could be somewhat non-obvious in its location,
- but usually it's to the rear and between the freezer compartment and
- the other compartment. You'll probably have to take off a couple of
- panels or covers and their mode of fastening it part of the not-so-
- obvious.
- Good luck.
