Most household refrigerators cool the freezer first; the fresh-food section gets its share of that cold through a fan and a damper. That is why the most common complaint, freezer fine but fridge warm, is rarely a fridge problem at all. If the freezer's back panel is glazed with an even sheet of frost, the defrost system has stopped clearing the evaporator: the heater, the defrost thermostat, or the control that schedules the cycle. If the panel is clean, suspect the evaporator fan or a damper stuck shut.
Ice makers fail for their own reasons. The inlet valve needs 20 to 40 psi of supply pressure, depending on the maker and whether a filter is in line; below that it trickles, and a trickle through a fill tube in a freezer turns into a plug of ice. A kinked line, a half-closed shutoff, or an overdue filter reads as "ice maker broken" with nothing wrong in it.
The dividing line for repair is the sealed system. Fans, heaters, sensors, valves, and boards are reachable from inside the cabinet; a compressor or a leak in the refrigerant circuit is a larger job whose value depends on the age of the box.

Practical guides for Boston kitchens and laundry rooms
Decide what is worth saving first, then work the list: the innocent explanations, the gasket test, airflow and frost, the condenser coils, and what the sounds mean.
A cold freezer proves the sealed system works, which rules out most of the machine. What is left is the evaporator fan, the defrost system and the damper — plus four checks worth doing first.
A two-minute test at the outside vent separates a restricted duct from a failed heating element. Where lint actually hides, why a blown thermal fuse is a symptom rather than a cause, and the habits that keep it fixed.
The smell follows from the design: a sealed door, a horizontal drum, very little water. Where it actually lives, why detergent dosing accelerates it, and the habit that keeps it from coming back.
The water has one way out, and the blockage is usually somewhere you can reach with a towel. Filter, disposal knockout plug, hose high loop, air gap — then what is left is the pump.
Two sealed systems behind one door front change the diagnosis, the condenser lives above the doors and decides most service calls, and the repair-or-replace rule does not apply to a machine the cabinets were built around.
