Sub zero 424 wine cooler is not cooling the top area is at 81 and the lower 70. i can hear the motor running. my son was pushing buttons earlier with bells ringing steve
Some refrigerators have an electrically control damper that moves cold air from the freezer to the refrigerator section. If this damper gets stuck shut, the refrigerator will begin to warm and will stop future cooling. This is most common on side-by-side models of refrigerators, but can happen with any fridge.
You should always check to ensure that the temperature setting is set to the proper temperature for your refrigerator. This control is often a dial, and can be accidentally moved to a different setting. Or sometimes, children think it is fun to turn the knob. Also, the control is a digital panel that can be accidentally bumped to another settings.
If it really is icing up in the freezer,this is common symptom of defrost system failure-bad heater,defrost bimetal,timer(probably a circuit board if in this case).You can defrost the freezer till the cows come home,but its just gonna ice up again.Failed evaporator motor could also cause cooling in freezer section only.My advice would be have a technician examine it.
