Fridge keeps icing up on number 1 setting. freezes food. keeps running a lot
SOURCE: icemaker is not freezing ice, freezer not freezing food,
The ice maker won't work if the freezer is warmer than 17 degrees so that's not an issue till you get the freezer cold again. I would guess that your unit is stuck in the defrost cycle. This could be the defrost timer failing. See if you can find the defrost timer in your unit and advance it by hand if possible. http://www.partselect.com/PartSearchResults.aspx?modelnum=jcd2295hes&mfgmodelnum=&fkmfgid=1&hint=defrost
SOURCE: The water filter keeps freezing and food in door and on shelves keeps freezing.
clean lint from coils in back. could also be low on refrigerant (freon)
SOURCE: freezer not freezing food and fridge not staying cold enough
Check the compressor with a volt meter, if the compressor is getting proper voltage then check the relay. But this sounds like a problem with the compressor
SOURCE: fridge does not keep cold, but freezer is over freezing, icemaker not making ice also.
You should be able hear, and feel the air from, a running fan inside the cabinet, in either side. The common arrangement is having the coils located (behind the wall) in the freezer section and then the fan moves a controlled amount of the frigid air to the refrigerator section via openings located in the rear of the compartment. The vents are normally adjustable so the temperature can be balanced between the two compartments. If there is no noticeable air coming from this vent, then the fan has died.
SOURCE: Freezer not freezing properly, ice on back wall
Ice on the back wall indicates a problem with the defrost cycle. The ice builds up and starts to choke off the air flow, so your symptoms would indicate that may be happening.
Defrost problems are usually any of the three components, the heater element, the defrost termination temp switch, or the defrost timer.
