General venting.

My fridge (a very basic Frigidaire model with no frills) that's less than five years old seems to be dying on me. I noticed a couple nights ago that heeeeey, this milk isn't as cold as it ought to be? Then my ice trays weren't freezing as quickly as they usually do? So today I did a major clean out in case it was too full (which can interfere with the cooling) but... I don't think that's the problem, really. I think my fridge is just dying on me, and a replacement (again, very basic, low frills) will run $600-700. And I'll have to coordinate time off work and let the delivery guys in and I hate it when strangers visit my house and I'll still have to clean up and throw a bunch of stuff out and then replace my food. FML.

You should check to see if it is something that can be fixed easily. I had the same issue that was fixed with a $10 part.

I would, but I don't know how. Basic troubleshooting is... well, basic. And hasn't helped. I could try getting it repaired, but the diagnosis alone is going to cost way more than $10.

I feel you. I hate having to fucking deal with mechanical stuff that breaks. I'm much more likely to just quit using it altogether, no matter how much of an insane inconvenience that is.

Ugh, that really sucks.

I'm definitely in the "try to ignore malfunctioning things as long as possible" crowd... but a malfunctioning fridge is almost impossible for me to ignore. (Full disclosure: I did once try... and gave myself awful food poisoning.)

In my experience, the whole ordeal sucks and I'm really sorry you'll have to suffer through it.

I'm sorry to hear about your fridge. I had fridge issues for a few years. From the sounds of it, there is probably something causing a flow leak/blockage one one/both of your doors that gets moisture into the ventilation systemand freezing up the vent/motor, hence seems like your fridge and freezer aren't working that good.
Getting on soapbox to say I don't know if it's intentional but these shitty designs for appliances are majority the cause of calling a mechanic to come look at it.

The moisture/freezing motor thing went on every few months for a couple years before we finally got a much more expensive fridge. Because the people I live with are oblivious and forgetful I honestly feel this fridge is a couple years away from gaining the same issue.

Pay attention to bags, food, various objects getting caught/trapped the fridge doors close. Bad sealing is how moisture enters the ventilation system.
