Fridge on the blink (I think.)

[BryanDP]

UPDATE:

The unit is still holding the correct cold temperatures after my "reboot" (unplug/replug) early this morning. We're going to let it go about 48 hours like this to see if it messes up again or if this was just some sort of anomaly. I'll be surprised if that's the case but it would be nice to put this expense off for a while at least.

Thanks everyone for the advice! I think you nailed it!!

I've had old analog fridges last forever, but these newer fridges I've had some serious issues with. The problems always begin after the warranty expires.

Did you roll it out from the wall, clean the coils on the back,(if visible) and use compressor or leaf blower to clean out around compressor. its usually hiding behind a fiberboard piece full of holes

It’s amazing how much dust and build up an be in there. Used to do ours every couple of years. I took the cardboard cover off the back and the vent off the front. Piles of dust and lint would come out. I’d shop vac it out though. When we moved, I took the blower to it.

You could always go to applianceclinic.com and enter the model # etc and symptoms and they'll give you a wag on what could be wrong. I've used them before and bought parts to repair my refrigerator.
