Where do you keep it, we kept a fridge freezer in our garage and the freezer stopped working because of the low temperature in the garage.

It could be anything really, you could contact the manufacturer to find out how much it would cost to repair but it may be cheaper to buy a new one.

You will notice that the controls for a typical refrigerator are located in the refrigerator section but the cooling coils are located in the freezer section. If the controls never call for the refrigerator to go on the stuff in the freezer could thaw.

This is a typical problem when a refrigerator is located in a cool location such as a cool basement or a garage.

I had suggested earlier today on another thread that a heat source be placed in the refrigerator to heat up the refrigerator section so that the cooling system would be switched on. A low wattage light bulb would likely suffice.

Once the average temperature is well below 32'F you could use both sections as a freezer with no problem until the temp climbed up into the 40's and 50's (In the refrigerator room)

It is possible you have a bad defrost timer but before you call a repairman you can try taking off the bottom panel of your freezer and seeing if ice has built up there and use a hair dryer to melt it, if it happens again the timer is probably bad. You can also clean the coils underneath or behind your fridge but the best thing to do is go to this link and search around, it is your best help ....

It is probably dirty underneath or in the back. Look from the front bottom and also pull it out and look there. You can try a vac to clean it out, but this can be difficult to get to all of it. I use a dryer lent brush with long handle. I have also used a air compressor to blow it all out. Works great but vey messy.

the fridge and the freezer run off seperate compressors and thermostats so one can be faulty snd the other on can still work

It could also be the evaporator fan in the freezer.
