The fridge started not cooling properly about a week ago. I removed the bottom piece from the front of the fridge and vacuumed lots of dirt from around the radiator like thing. Now the freezer has frost at the back of the inside and certain items are not as frozen. Please help and reply to IHENTERPRISES1@cox.net
Jimmmyj is probably on target with the timer. All frost-free refrigerator-freezers have a thing in the system called
a Defrost Timer. The thing is a little clock of sorts that tracks
accumulated running time. Every 8 hours of run time the thing cycles
through a defrost cycle. The defrost cycle is necessitated by the
humidity that forms ice crystals on the freezing coils, if the frost is
not eradicated it can build up to the point where no air flows over the
coils to chill the inside of the box. The Defrost timer in all boxes
fails eventually from old age. When that happens, the coils frost over
until they become pretty much just a solid block of ice. Most timers
are located on the front of the machine, behind that removable grille
under the door. The timer has a round hollow shaft through it, and can
be turned with a screwdriver. If the compressor is running, give the
shaft a slow twist until a click is heard. The compressor will stop.
Give the fridge an hour to defrost the coils, and check it to see if it
took off running. Sometimes the nudge will make the timer run for a
while. If this is the case, the unit will chill, and buy you some time
to get it fixed. If the timer does not run, you can repeat the process
daily until you get a replacement timer. If the unit does not chill,
there is some other problem either with the defrost heater coils, or the thermodisk. Be advised, all that ice may overflow the pan under the unit.
