Any fridge repairmen in here?

I have a Samsung French Door fridge that my wife just called me about saying the freezer isn't cold. Ice cream melted and shit. I need a filter, would this cause that? I need some help.

The fridge I have is the one in this link

I can't think of how a filter would cause the freezer to not stay cold but my refrigerators are over 20 years old so perhaps some technology has changed?

First check youtube by your model number and some appliance repair forums. It might not be defrosting correctly is all I can think of at this point. Move it out from the wall to see if water is collecting in the evaporator pan. If it is and is dried up by the fan then it might be something else, hopefully not something terminal like a compressor. Is it still under warranty? Good luck.

I can't see how a filter would either. I'm hoping the reset I did helps it. I just bout this thing not long ago. But it's out of warranty. I'm gonna end up getting the fridge my wife wanted. I can feel it

I just went through some stuff with my oldest refrigerator and while the fix wasn't on youtube I learned enough to give it a go and fixed it. Now it is mine and my wife and daughter share another newer one in the kitchen. Mine was relegated to the wash room and even though its a farther walk for me a pervasive marital bliss has settled over my abode even though my wife's wine takes up the entire bottom shelf of my refrigerator.

Check your condenser coil by where the fridge compressor is located if you have had it for a very very long time without moving it you tend to get ghost turds that clog it up and may cause poor air flow through the coils, a can of compressed air for computers should do the trick if you can comfortably get to that spot.

I found using a blink test with the display that it's the fan. Idk what the fuck that has to do with it. I'm gonna end up paying a guy to come fix it and it's gonna piss me off. I'm the kind of guy that won't take a vehicle to the shop. But I don't know shit about this stuff.
