I just aquired this fridge from my neighbors.I have done all the electronic service tests and they all seem to check ok.The problem is the freezer goes to -25 by my thermometer and refrigerator is 40.I turned icemaker off as no water is plumbed to it.I am at a loss.

Hi,

Do you hear the evaporator fan motor running inside the refrigerator section?

Here's the evaporator fan motor for the refrigerator section for your model:
W10633627 Motor-Evap

Yes I can hear the fan in the refrigerator section but it acts weird.Sometimes it is forceful and other times seems slow.

That fan motor maybe the problem then, others have had to replace it too.

Look here: FIXED: Problems with Kenmore 596.72383411 Fridge is not that cold
