i have fixed multiple side by side fridges with a simlar issue by replacing the thermostat which is basically an electric actuator that opens a door to allow more or less cold air from the freezer side to the fridge side.what brand and model?
I have come to the conclusion that no one can be very quick at changing out outlets and switches. have changed out roughly a thousand outlets and switches from ivory to white and I have not gotten any quicker.

Also, my brain can't convince my body that the wires aren't electrified even after I have checked the circuit breaker three times. Dealing with the anxiety is slightly better than the embarrassment of calling an electrician (most of which are too busy to interrupt large profitable projects to come do tiny projects for homeowners).
in the end, EMAW will always win.
i installed a new garbage disposal and also later re-installed it, after punching out the seal that you're supposed to punch out where the dishwasher hose goes into it. in between the installs, the dishwasher was not draining (i mean obviously, now) so i also cleaned the inner workings of the dishwasher before i knew about the seal thing. dishwasher might be the grossest thing in my house? idk

I'm a huge weenie and just do it when no one else is in the house and turn the power off. Do not like messing with electrical while it's on at all.

The person who thought of using water out of the dishwasher to clean them had a good idea. I've probably discussed it in another thread on here but our Bosch dishwasher is just a great appliance. Would highly recommend if you are in the market for a new dishwasher.
