Freezer not cooling down, Temp on front display shows -2,

The front display shows Freezer -2, Fridge 34. The fridge is at 34, checked with thermometer.

The Freezer is the same temp as the Fridge.

Would this be a sensor, since its reading the wrong temp?

@dougriley I would start by checking the thermistor for the freezer. Try holding it tightly in your hand and seeing if the temperature changes on the screen. Alternatively, if you have a multimeter, you could hook the thermistor up to a multimeter and put the multimeter on ohms mode. When you hold the thermistor tightly with your hand, you should see the ohms reading on the multimeter go up or down.
