Warm fridge, Zero temp freezer

My refrigerator starting warming up last night–it went from 38 to 68 in about 4 hours. My freezer is fine. I don’t see any visible problems with frost or leaks or overheating. :frowning: Please advise. Does anyone know where I could find a repair manual online? Thanks

So, I ordered a replacement motor for my evaporator fan kit (it’s pretty neat, they only send you the motor, the fan blades are reusable - they slide onto the shaft of the motor). UPS dropped the motor off today. Assembled the fan unit - new motor, original plastic fan blades. Plugged it in, and the fan wouldn’t spin. Turned the whole assembly up-side down and the fan started spinning. Turned it right side-up while the fan was spinning and the fan continued to spin. But I could hear the motor struggling/squealing. Incidentally, the fan was spinning VERY fast in both cases (right side up and upside down). I suspect that the motor I received is defective. But is it possible that the problem is somewhere in the refrigerator? The motor is an AC motor (115V, 60Hz, 0.14A) so there is no transformer in the refrigerator (at least not for the evaporator motor), so the only thing I can think of is bad wiring. If it was a DC motor, I would suspect the transformer. But how likely is it that the wiring is bad? Is there any way for me to determine what the real problem is, if in fact, it is not the motor?

Thanks in advance for your help.

You will need a meter to tell if the new motor is getting 115 volts or something less.
