Refrigerator 795.7904 freezer suddenly not holding temperature. Food is thawing, with controls set correctly and upper fridge section still normal.

The Kenmore 795.7802 Series refrigerator freezer may not be holding temperature while the fridge section remains normal due to incorrect temperature control settings. If the freezer is too warm, adjust the temperature setting one increment at a time and wait 24 hours for stabilization. Additionally, ensure that the doors are closing properly, as improper sealing can cause temperature issues. If the problem persists, check for excessive frost buildup or blocked air vents that may be restricting airflow.
