I have a Kenmore Fridge 106.74932401, purchased in 2006. The fridge is not cold, but the freezer has frost/snow/icicles. We had problems with the icemaker after a little over a year, but decided not to spend the money to get it working again. We had Sears repairmen out twice in the past 7 years, both times they told us that there was ice blockage and we needed to defrost it, which we did, but nothing was repaired/replaced. We do have 3 cats, and sometimes the bottom vent gets clogged before I'm aware of it, but not completely blocked I don't think. It has been not cooling well for a few months, I did defrost it all day once which slightly improved it, but it is pretty bad now. We have the freezer and fridge on the coldest setting, but the fridge is really too warm. Any ideas what the problem is or what I should do? Appreciate all help!!

Have a Maytag refrigerator, when it shuts off it is fine but when it restarts it's like it just can't get going . sputters like a missing car if that makes any sense. Cleaned everything I can reach. It is keeping things cold and frozen, just don't want to come home and have it completely out. Any ideas out there?
