The water dispenser water was also not cold anymore. I cleaned the condenser coils but also noticed the condenser fan never ran. I checked voltage at the plug for the fan and got about 6V (12V motor but maybe it has 2 speeds?). It seemed a little less hot after cleaning the coils but after much watching, I never saw the condenser fan run. I replaced the condenser fan and the fan still doesn't run. I opened the panel with the control board and the red LED light was not blinking. I'm starting to wonder if this fan doesn't always run when the compressor is on since it has a linear compressor and the compressor runs all the time. If anyone understands these newer fridges, I would appreciate knowing whether I should worry or not.
