Refrigerator not cold enough..Freezer OK
Read all the repairs on line for this problem; not only in this web sight but others,. No one shows it all. Use a 1/4 inch ratchet set. Only loosen screws for the door removal, it then slides right up. Remove lowest vent under door you have to raise the feet with the ratchet to slide the refrig out. Also vacuum coils n here before you move the unit (you'll also solve about half your problem). Remove lower basket and screws in front of top basket. Now you have a bitch of a problem. There are two vertical retainers which must be pushed away from the top basket on each side while you push up to allow the gears to disengage the track. Good Luck. After this the video takes you through step by step. Keep all the screws removed separate, they are not all the same. The top front screw on the ice maker does not have to be removed all the way, remove the others and push up on the unit. Top vent has the first clip in the top right slot and bottom center for the second. Everything else is covered. Remember brown goes to brown and orange goes to orange. If you never spliced wires before, practice before; you'll be working on your back and looking up in an uncomfortable position. Everything goes back together in half the time you take it apart..
