We have a Whirlpool conquest gold that I noticed was acting different. The condensor would not cut off. When you opened the doors ( side by side ) I noticed the divider wall was very hot, the part facing out I should say. I took the vent cover off at the bottom and saw the coils under the fridge were very dirty and cleaned the ones facing the front, the others were towards the back and were not dirty, and I couldn't get to them anyway.

A little while later the wall seems cooler, but I noticed the condensor in the back was very hot, almost enough to burn you. I have cut itoff, as well as unplugged it and the condensor is still very hot. This fridge was purchased new 1-27-05. Any ieas guys?

Thanks,
Dennis
