Thinking that because of the wide range of symptoms, it had to be the motherboard. Installed a new one and symptoms continued. My second ‘guess’ was one of the temperature sensors was faulty OR the defrost thermostat was malfunctioning. Given that either part could be at fault, I bought the defrost thermostat and two temperature sensors. I installed the defrost thermostat in the freezer and two temperature sensors, both in the freezer section… kind of a ‘shotgun’ technique.
Symptoms remained and now a bit frustrated. Essentially, the only remaining possibility was a faulty evaporator fan located in the freezer section. Though I didn’t want to throw a lot of money at the machine, I decided to take one more shot at it because a new refrigerator was around $3500! Replaced the evaporator fan and voila!... it works!! The fridge is now performing like new with all temps very stable and ice galore!
In general, I don’t give up easily, but I also don’t like ‘laboring in vain’ either! I’m a ‘fixer’, not a ‘replacer’ and I thought the fridge is in very good condition, matches my other appliances and for $3500 I can by a lot of ‘parts’! So, unless you’re a professional appliance repair person, repairs can be a gamble… sometimes you win, sometimes you lose! This time my efforts paid big dividends!! Thanks for the helpful guidance.
