About a week ago, we had a small water leak in our fridge door that caused water to spray out into the fridge and pool under the bottom crisper. Got that fixed, and cleaned up all the water and ever since then, things just haven't seemed to be getting cold enough. Finally, last night I opened a new jug of milk and it was chunky.. ok, that's it, time to figure things out.
I took everything out of the fridge and freezer. The freezer portion is working great.. almost too good actually. The condenser fan comes on and circulates air, but I think the bottom vents in the fridge probably have ice in them. I thought they were just drains to the pan under the fridge, but maybe they somehow plumb into the freezer instead? Would make sense since it just started happening since the water flood in the fridge earlier this week.
This image accurately reflects my fridge. The circled holes/vents I thought just took water or liquid down to the drip pan, but maybe they are more for recirculating air? I can't see where or how they would get to the freezer though as there is only one hole from the freezer to the fridge and its in the middle on the back where the blend door/fan is.
Thoughts?
