Not normal. Unplug and clean any coils you can find then restart it and observe after 24 hours. If it's not back to it's old self call a repair man or replace it because it's not a normal DIY to troubleshoot electrics.
Don't know, but I suppose that is because they've promised you sub-zero and it's not a question of letting you decide how hard the ice cream should be. (Although in my fridge the freezer temp control is in the fridge part.)
Yes, it's the normal ice-water-ice-water cycle. Called IWIW in the trade. :) It is designed to make the ice cream icy. :)
Is it making any noises at all?
Is it still plugged in? Maybe the cat unplugged it?
Can you see the coils? Is there any ice on them?
Fridges can sometimes be DIY. When mine wasn't cooling well, it was just because there was a mouse stuck in the little fan. I took that out and two weeks later, another problem. I guess I or the mouse had nudged the insulation because this time it was insulation in the little fan. I don't think that's your problem, but check it out again and get back to us.
Well, if you have a subscription to Consumer Reports online, that will give you one confirmation. It shows the highest rate of serious repairs at 24%. The next highest was with Maytage at 16%.
