Last evening I unplugged the fridge because I could see vents at the back of the freezer were frosted over.
I got up at about midnight and plugged the unit back in, first verifying that the frost had melted.
This morning, the freezer is fine, the lower portion of the fridge is at 32 degrees, but the upper shelves are still in the mid-50s. So I suspect something on the unit is dead, but I want to give it until midnight tonight because the manual says it can take up to 24 hours for the fridge to cool fully after it's been shut off.
I'm not optimistic this is going to work, and Michelle seems resigned to shopping for a new one when she gets home this weekend. At this point, I'm not sure if I should call for a technician to pay a visit or not. I'll have to think on that.
The fridge is a 2013 model, meaning it's 12 years old. I know that's young for older fridges, but that seems to be ancient for modern fridges.
