Good Morning Leo,

I understand you are having ice and snow like conditions in the freezer of your Electrolux refrigerator, model# EI23BC36IS3. I also see that it is not due to the door being left open. I suggest checking the seal around the door for any type of damage or possibly the door is not sealing correctly. With the heat and humidity, this could cause the frost inside the freezer. Your appliance comes equipped with an Adaptive Defrost Control (ADC). To activate manual defrost, simultaneously press and hold the Fresh Food up, or plus sign, and Fresh Food down, or minus sign, keys for 5 seconds. A "d" in the freezer temperature window and "F" in the refrigerator temperature window will display when the heater is activated. To deactivate manual defrost, simultaneously press and hold the Fresh Food up, or plus sign, and Fresh Food down, or minus sign, keys for 5 seconds. A "d" and "F" will be displayed until the defrost cycle is complete. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your appliances status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-

SOURCE: Freezer Icing Up

Try contacting the hotline again and ask them if the freezer has a frost sensor on it. If it does, the sensor is not kicking the thermostat to allow for the unit to defrost.

SOURCE: JCD2389DES Water Leak Problem

Once I saw that the drain tube went up over the coil before draining into the evaporator pan I decided to buy a small piece of flexible plastic tubing and re-route the tube so the water could freely flow down hill. It's been over two months with no additional problems. I can assume that since the water drains freely it doesn't stay trapped in the elbow freeze and the cause the collector tray to ultimately overflow.

too defrost just open the doors for a day with the unit unplugged. as far as why it is frosting up check door seals make sure they are all good and seal it up well and that should take care of it.

Freezer is full of snow

Check freezer and refrigerator door seals, ice dispenser ice door and floor of freezer for ice buildup caused by a defrost drain blockage. If ice door is stuck open it will allow for warm moist air to be drawn inside freezer and collect as frost over everything. Is GTS16BCS the correct model number listed above your post? I will be here should you have questions, Thanks Sea Breeze

I have a frost free refrigerator (MODEL #: FGTD 20V4GW2 and SERIAL #: ba00230071) yet the ice/frost builds up of the door, top and front of the freezer. Also the bottom compartment where the milks,...

if ice is on the door and ceiling and frozen water dropleats on the food packages the door was left open and the air ducts are frozen.when you open the freezer door do you hear the fan blowing,if not it could be bad or iced up,if the ice is on the inside back wall of the freezer you have a defrost problem,get back to me and tell me if the ice or like snow is just on the back wall or if the door was left open ice will be on ceiling ,door and shelves and food packages,also that's not a good model number if the freezer is on top look at the left wall up near the ceiling in the fridge section,you should see a tag there with the model number.

My freezer didn't have ice on the shelves until

Most likely cause is a door being left ajar or gaskets not seating. If the ice looks like snow, that is your issue.

The freezer works fine, but it ices up on the inside.

If the ice is clear and hard, the issue is a leak during defrost (if it has such a cycle)

If the ice looks like snow, replace the door gasket(s).

Excess frost and condensation

Could be that it is not getting a good seal when the door is shut. Check for obstructions causing that and check the door seal to see if it needs to be replaced.

I have a 6x6 norlake walk in freezer. The door remained open for 6-7 hours by mistake and now temperature does not go below 15 degrees. The technician told me to replace compressor as slowly temperature...

I've worked on freezers for over 20 years and have never heard of a compressor going bad because the door was left open. think about a second opinion.
Also, has the cooling coil inside the box developed and frost or ice build up? If so, it needs to be completely defrosted. If you defrost it manually, use a hose hooked up to hot water. Kill all power and hose all build up off. Remove the sheet metal housing ends and be sure there is no ice inside there too. I would go in this direction first.
IN order to kill a compressor under this condition, something really strange must have happened as anything is possible in a refrigeration system. Good luck and hope this helps.

SNOW FORMING IN FREEZER

Could be a number of things. Is the fan running in the freezer section, are the door gaskets sealing completely, even on the bottom of the doors? Could be a defrost issure where the thermotat is allowing it to over heat during defrost and the the cooling cycle starts after defrost and forms the ice an snow from the moisture in the unit.

Snows inside freezeer compartment of side by side

You actually have 2 problems here.
One the ice maker shutoff is defective. REPAIR is to replace the ice maker.
Two (snow) is a loose door seal, Outside air entering the freezer.
