Msd2561hew refrigerator works but freezer doesn't. is there a separate defrost control for the freezer section. condensate tray is full, fan working, ice was ok last night, when we came home this evening the freezer was in deep defrost and the vegtables were on the way out when we caught it. fridge is able to hold at 40 degrees, freezer is still dripping and don't have a thermo for it too. fan has not stopped since i came home an hour ago, compressor has heat cycled. i assume this because the fan hasn't stopped. compressor is not hot to the touch.
Try the control relay/ condenser thats attached to the compressor and provides a momentary spike to start the compressor start windings prior to the unit going into run mode. reasonable and easy to fix
SOURCE: freezer not working
The compressor does run warm but not hot, if the freezer is not cooling then the comp is faulty, approach local repair agent for cost. Regards The Advisor Smeg Agent

hi tanks for the question there are heaters at the spots you said were hot and those heaters are there to prevent moist air from hitting cold surface and create warer droplets from forming on those surfaces i would remove the back of the fridge and vacuum it out that should solve your problem thanks the appliance doc

you need to do an amp draw with your meter,clamp the run wire on the compressor,you should get 2-5 amp reading,any higher means the compressor is going bad,also should be a locked rotor amp(LRA) reading on comp.-mike

Sounds like you're low on gas...assuming that the condenser coils are clean.

OK now I'm wondering are theses numbers your getting 4 -9 the actual temps of the refrigerator and the freezer? and do they feel this cold and correct to you? I know the refrigerator side shouldn't be below 34 or so and definitely not below 32. If this is correct and the numbers are not settings but temps. (Now if you have a touch pad its electronic. If it has knobs it has a separate defrost and thermostat and are electro-mechanical)
If electronic Your control board and possibly defrost control are out.
It would more likely be the sensors going to the board(s) It will both sensors have the possibility of causing your problem. 1 will control the run of the compressor (and this one could and probably is connected to the inside coil) and 1 will control the air damper tween the refdg and freezer compartments, and may turn on the inside fan operation too.
(this would be my first suspect if these are degrees numbers). Look at the thermostat control see if it is attached to the indoor coil (usually the tube leavign the indoor section. If its not attached its not sensing the coil temp and when goes into defrost wala its not senmsing temps like its designed to do. Look for a broken clip or possible a plastic wire tie that holds this sensor in place.
Please get back to me with what you see - find on this look up.
