Maybe I can help you through whatever issue you're having. I've got a pretty good track record of helping folks resolve home improvement/repair issues on here...

The fridge gets cool but never cold. And the freezer gets really bad iceburn which I think is because the rubber seal along the side doesn't seal completely and things melt-freeze-melt consistently.

From what I've read about the fridge is that it's probably a sensor.

The rubber seal is an easy DIY fix once you order the correct replacements. Have you checked the temperature setting for the fridge to see if any changes you make are having any effect? If you change the internal fridge temp control and the temp doesn't seem to be changing, then you're right, there's a sensor going bad.

Ive dealt with a ton of fridge repairs Since I'm pretty handy and it cost so much to repair, it's usually not worthwhile after 75-90 to figure out issue, 25-200 for part with compressor not working or low on freon being worst plus the cost of actual repair.

I can offer some advice if you post model number, but some quick basics. Usually all your air goes to freezer and a little passage toward back middle brings enough air to fridge part to make it cool. If you have ice in freezer, that most probably eliminates most of big stuff, ie compressor, freon, etc. If your fridge is not getting cold and you're getting some melt, what can happen is ice will block the passage from freezer to fridge. I also had this happen when one of my tenant spilled something liquid in freezer and it froze in passage.

If you're getting melt in freezer and your seal is bad, those are fairly cheap and easily replaced, most just snap in perimeter of door after pulling out old one.

Finally, what do you mean by "ice burn"? If you're getting buildup of ice in freezer, it could be a bad defroster assuming its a frost free which almost all are.

One of the easiest things to do without any work is put all your food in cooler with some ice to empty entire fridge, unplug it and leave door open with a fan blowing in it. Give it half a day to defrost completely and clean.

      Speaking of revisiting trades: Brian Burns

      He’s also playing with 2 top 5 pick pass rushers and getting some 1 on 1 looks. I’m pretty sure there was never a huge question about whether he could win some 1 on 1 pass rush reps. The main issue was consistent effort, being a complete liability against the run, and asking for more than he was worth. Trading him was the right move and still is, the biggest problem was not trading him when the best deal was on the table.

      Bryce Young has come into camp three offseasons in a row looking completely the same as if he couldn't be bothered to enter the weight room and his fumbling issues have also carried over three seasons in a row. So I have no idea why anyone would expect not to see this subject of him going down with minimal contact eventually come up. Don't have to like it but that comes with the territory of being a #1 pick.

      ? The dude stepped on his plant leg. We’ve seen him break plenty of hand swipes/arm tackles. I seem to remember one play his shirt getting pulled like a rubber band in the end zone. See, I was told up and down last week that these kinds of takes are fringe and rarely if ever happen…and when they do they are very unserious. Is it my fault for taking this seriously? Are the pies not people agreeing, but rather an inside joke? Let me know.
