My son has a Ropor refrigerator. I think this was a Whirlpool contractor model for about 300.00 I haven't got the model number but it is 7 years old. The freezer is on top. Recently he noticed that the freezer seemed cold enough but the refrigerator section was too warm. The controls were both apparently set to max. He cleaned it out and disconnected power with the intention of getting rid of it. I told him that we should at least try to investigate this a little further before condemning the box. I'm not sure if they've ever cleaned the coils under it or not. We just vacuumed the dust off the coils of his other refrigerator last night and although it didn't seem to have any performance issues it looked like a blanket of dust, ( I'm not talking about the fiberglass mat that belongs there) under neath it. I told him to try vacuuming the coils first and see what happens. Does anyone have any other diagnostic tips past that point they might be able to offer? Thanks, Lenny
