What's your current headache?

Hopefully I understood you correctly. But if the freezer is still freezing, I think you're good, as in don't need a new fridge. Just have to troubleshoot why the cool air isn't getting to the fridge.

Look up where the evaporator fan is on your model
Hopefully not too bad to get to. Usually behind a shroud in one compartment. Most I have see have been in the fridge. Look for something that looks like a vent.

Mine is there on my bottom freezer unit. On my standup freezer converter kegerator, it's in the bottom.
Probably find it not spinning. Give it a flick and see if it starts. If so, pull it and clean it, maybe a bit of lube. White lithium worked well for me.
Probably want to replace it regardless, but that may get you up and running until a replacement can be ordered.
If it doesn't spin up, unplug it and check power. Older fridges will run on AC. Newer may be pulsed DC. 12Vish. If it's not getting power, likely a transformer on the circuit board on an older unit. Newer units,maybe a fet or whatever they're switching/pulsing the power with on the circuit board.
But probably a gummed up or burnt up fan. Possibly the fridge compartment thermostat, causing it not to kick on.
On most units, only the freezer is cooled by the compressor and cool air is circulated into the fridge compartment per the thermostat via the evap fan.

I'll have to look in the freezer for the evap fan. It's not in the fridge. I took this whole middle shroud off and it's just a motorized flapper and the thermostat. ignore the 10,000 empty applesauce packets. They're destined for terracycle but haven't made it yet

Good luck man. Hope it's an easy fix

I can see why so many tonex pedals are resold. Nothing wrong with the sounds but gawdamn the software sucks.

Well, that escalated quickly.

Her guess what? The evaporator fan inside the freezer compartment was frozen solid. It's thawing by the wood stove and spins freely. I'm gonna test it in a bit

I need a hard drive too. This sucks

I got all the ice out, spun the fan on my bench, put everything back, and I'm waiting to see if it's working

Ugh


Edit: I thought about putting in a dummy switch, or search around and I find a component with a different value to toggle.

Speaking of appliances, had to buy a new dishwasher today. Thankfully the drain pump was still working. Wasn't looking forward to siphoning it.

I feel for the ones who bought up maybe I should max out my 5700X3D build before it creeps backwards into DDR4…

Nothing like taking a week off to remind you how much you enjoy not being at work. Back in this morning. Yuck.
