The freezer of my aged General Electric Medallion is not cooling enough - nothing in it stays frozen. The fridge is making its normal humming noise, but not the normal freezer noises (which are louder and less frequent than the fridge noises). I have no clue what to do about this, though I suspect it must have something to do with the thermostat or a circuit. I'm a full time student and don't really have the extra cash to pay for a repair man... so... any advice? Please and thank you!

First I would check for frost build-up due to bad defrost timer or heater. Check out this troubleshooting list.Troubleshooting (http://www.acmehowto.com/howto/appliance/refrigerator/diagrefrigerator.php)
