Re: Whirlpool American Fridge Freezer broken down – help!

Code: 8586-740-01000
Model: 3xes0fhqkq

In the past week or so i have noticed that the freezer part has been getting very hot (so hot that you cant keep your hand on it) [*]

I cannot hear any noises that i shouldnt hear. basically the fridge is at room temperature and the freezer is like fridge temperature. Luckily we had an old freezer to put our freezer stuff in.

[*] the fridge/freezer is side by side, with a dividing bar down the middle (for the sake of trying to explain where it is hot imagine that there are no doors on). it is split into 2 halves. if i feel around the front of the freezer half then it is very hot but if i feel around the fridge part it is normal.

EDIT: both the fridge and the freezer are set to 4 which is the maximum it will go up to. maybe a faulty thermostat?
