Hi- Here's the sequence of events.
The side by side was in use at another property with no problems since purchase 7-8 years ago.
In June, it was moved to my house and set up for use in a non-climate controlled garage. (St. Louis area) Through the summer months, in spite of the heat and humidity, it worked great.
The weather turned colder (30-40 degrees) and one day I opened the frig (it doesn't get accessed daily) to find that all liquids (water, soda, beer) on the frig side had frozen and many had exploded. I purchased a thermometer and found that both sides were below zero. I adjusted the temperature setting on both to the minimum with no improvement. I checked to make sure the ice make is off (it's not hooked up to water now, it was in the previous location), which was something I found on another troubleshooting site.
The temperature has now gotten unseasonably warm for a few days (70's) and it appears to be functioning correctly again. I'm gun shy of using it again for fear I'll have another mess on my hands when it gets cold again.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks very much.
Mike
