Frige will not cool.

Whirlpool Top Mount Refrigerator et8chk / et8chm.

Fan underneith in the back is working.

The black metal round thing underneith is hot. Not sure if its supposed to be. The copper tubing coming from their is a little cool.

I have cleand the cooling grill/radiator/coils. Removed all the dust bunnies from their.

That's kind of vague. I'm guessing it's broken. You'll probably have to buy a new one, but call a repairman, since none of us can really help you without more information.

Well how old is the refrigerator?

After a while, the coolant chemical is all used up or there may be a crack or leak and you'd have to replace the entire fridge.

Either way, you'll have to call a repairman to fix it or look at it, unless you want to buy a whole new fridge.

Yeah there could be a leak or crack (plastic becomes brittle with time), I'd call a repairman and see how much it would cost for him to look at it and then repair it.

Welcome, hopefully is is something simple and the repairman can fix it for you for a low price.
