From PM


MY FAN ON MY FRIDGE IS BLOWING BUT THE BOTTOM HALF OF MY FRIDGE IS WARM WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM?AND COMPRESSOR IS REALLY HOT.

This message was useful.

The compressor is hot because it's running too long. The bottom is warm because the heat of the compressor is warming the bottom.

Reasons for running too long:

1. The coils on the back or bottom are dirty
2. The refrigerator gasket is bad
3. unit needs defrosting

Let's go with these because the top is cold

Check to insure that the vents and duct from the freezer unit to the refrigerator compartment are not blocked. If refrigerator compartment is equipped with a fan to move air from freezer compartment insure that it is working.
