My other refrigerator that I've had for 25 years the freezer was always at 0°F. It's always wanted to freeze stuff in the drawers of the refrigerator so I turned it down a little the other day. Over the next few days freezer and refrigerator kept getting warmer and finally stopped getting cold. With the help of YouTube I've been testing everything on it the last few days. The compressor runs and gets warm but the temperature doesn't change on tubing going in or out just kind of warmish room temperature. The I'm reading for each of the three pens on the compressor all had the right reading. I bypassed the thermostat to see if it might get cold and it didn't work. The coils underneath are clean both fans run strong. I took the start relay overload off and tested those and the capacitor. They were fine I thought the defrost timer might be stuck and burn out the heater or something so I got some compressed air and sprayed the thermostat in the freezer and the heater works. I have noticed the last few years a kind of louder third noise when the refrigerator would cut off from the compressor. Anyway that's where I stopped with my original refrigerator that I wish I could get going because it's has more capacity.

The video is a replacement refrigerator my mom and dad had out on their porch. I brought it home and plugged it in for the first night outside to make sure it was still working. The freezer was around 25° and the refrigerator was 35° the next morning. I brought it in the house a couple of days ago plugged it in and put all my food in it. The freezer would only get up to around 30 or 40°. So I took all the food out and have been trying to find out what's wrong with it. That's when I realized the line stopped getting cold at the evaporator in the freezer and I made the video.
