Our family's 8-year old Kelvinator 18 cu. ft. "top-fridge" refrigerator has slowly stopped cooking over the last 2 weeks.
I first noticed it when meat, that was frozen in the freezer, began to thaw and bleed. At first, I just thought my mother was too tired to notice that she had put meat that had been unfrozen, back into the freezer. But then, other portions of meat were bleeding, and our ice cube trays were now turning back into water.
Now, it hasn't completely stopped working, but I can only imagine it's not far from it. I think the freon is slowly going out, because the freezer is now cold enough only to cool as the refrigerator used to (our milk, butter, etc. has been moved up into there).
Does anyone know what could possibly be wrong? I don't want to hire a repair man, because I can get a similar NEW fridge for $400, and the repair man is probably gonna want close to 25% of that amount, not including parts (and that doesn't gurantee he can fix it). Thanks for ANY help =)

That is, it has stopped "COOLING" not cooking, as I incorrectly noted in the first paragraph, above. Thanks again.

Sorry to hear that. I would say it is time to get another one. At least the companies will usually haul away the old one. good luck.

There are several things that can keep your fridge from cooling properly and some may be a real simple fix.
You dont have to guess, because http://appliancequickfix.com/ will give you an easy run down on what to check.
