What is wrong with our fridge freezer?

Red light came on above fridge door,noticed all the food in the freezer compartment was starting to thaw.

The starter brings the compressor on but only for a short while.The grill on the back heats up slightly but again only for short periods.I by passed the thermostat but its still the same.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

    You could be low on freon gas.Your fan motor in the freezer could be burnt out. Your drain from the freezer could be plugged causing the elements in the freezer to over heat and shut down.

    frequently this is the owner's duty yet there are particular issues which you're able to do. First examine your hire and make valuable that there is no longer something in there that announces it is your fault. Then, tell him what's going on. If he would not go out and immediately purchase you a sparkling refrigerator then i could purchase one myself and the two hand him the receipt and tell him to reimburse you or i could deduct it from the hire. that's recommended to envision your state's landlord/tenant regulations and make valuable that that's okay to do first. yet maximum states will help you do something like this through situations. whilst this took place to us, we had to malicious program the owner for almst a 300 and sixty 5 days yet we ultimately have been given a sparkling refrigerator.
