I bought a used Electrolux fridge for our garage with the intent of using the fridge portion to dry age wild game and the freezer portion for some extra space. The freezer works great. The fridge not so much. It spends all its time between 38 and 41 degrees. I did the dollar bill test on the seal and that went fine though it doesn't feel like it creates the vacuum I expect when you close it. I moved food away from the vent in the freezer figuring it pulls air from the freezer down into the fridge. I did check the inlet in the fridge when the compressor is running and cold air is coming in. I'm wondering if there is some other kind of thermostat issue that is preventing it from pulling cold air from the freezer as much as needed. I do have it on the coldest setting. The fridge is only 4 years old, I'm into it $120 and would prefer not to spend too much to get it working right.

I have a Samsung Model DV42H5200EW/A dryer. Lately it was getting very hot where the wife/kids barely can touch the clothes when it's done drying. What should I be checking? Should I stop using until I figure out what's wrong? If the vent to outside the house is plugged somewhere, could it cost the dryer to get so hot? Many thanks in advance!
