I had the same problem with mine, called a repair man and he had to replace the heating element inside the freezer section. The refrigerator's ice maker would not make ice cubes and the ice cubes that was already there was getting smaller. I bet it is the heating element gone bad. It is inside the freezer behind the back panel. It is only about 5 inches long and only took the repair man 10 minutes to change but cost me about $200. You can do it yourself for about $50 if you read your repair instructions. First read your manual near the back pages for trouble shooting guide, this may help determine your problem. You can also call the 1-800 number from your Mfg to ask for help. You can also call your Mfg for repair and they will send out a repairman in your area the next day. My guess it is the heating element. Best of luck!

Before you call for service, check to see if the heat exchange coils are clogged with dust. Look under the refrig-you might have to pop off the grill-and if very dirty use a vacuum to clean them. You can buy a 3 foot long coil brush for under $5 to help with the job. If the coils are clean and it still doesn't cool, it may be time to call for service,

It may have a leak and leaking the freon type coolant, or just very low on it. Get an appliance man check it out.

check the filter at the bottom of the fridge - it gets real dusty down there so you might just need to clean it up and it will be fixed!
