Kenmore Model 106.51764510 side by side refrigerator that doesn't seem as cold as it should. I had been noticing that bottled water didn't taste as cold as it had and then today, Sept 7 could hear a distinct low buzz noise. The freezer is cold, the fridge area doesn't see as cold as it once was. I did notice not hearing the evap fan inside the fridge running. I took it out and looked it over and didn't see anything out of ordinary.
There was some thin ice on wall of fridge on freezer side. The coil was not iced over. The evap fan does turn. but not sure how much resistance to it when spinning by hand. I haven't noticed the fan in freezer blowing either, stuff is still frozen. I did look under fridge and coils are clean, very little dust.
I tried to run diagnostic mode, but not sure if doing it correctly. I opened the door on fridge and pressed button for lights to go out and evap fan didn't turn on. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to throw unnecessary parts at it. If anyone knows if it could be evap fan or control board. The compressor does feel hot to touch and sounds like it is running and the fan next to compressor is running as well.
