k. We thawed the whole mess. and the freezer has worked fine ever since.

My new rule, "get ice cubes only from the front."

Used the suggested problem list here to narrow down that the repair was most likely the run capacitor. Poped the new one in and I now have better control of my compartment ranges. I have a temperature gauge in each compartment. Check them every opening of the doors.
