I have a msd2641kew Maytag side x side refrigerator it is 35 degrees in fridge and 20 in freezer it is frosting up on evaporator. I forced a defrost by cycling thermostat 3 times within 6 seconds heater and bi-metal ok (it defrosted). Question is why still not cold enough in freezer? P.S. condenser was filthy and I cleaned throughly is it possible headpressure got so high it dump some freon or damaged compressor? Convinced I need a expert.
Yes it is possible , it could have caused a restriction. if evaporator coil has a slight frost pattern from top to btm then your compressor and Freon are good and no restriction . if your evaporator coil is only frosting up only a little then you have a freon restriction.
if you just cleaned the coils today , it takes up to 24 hrs to get back to 100 % .
SOURCE: evaporator coil freezing, replaced main control
It is possible you have a defective fan motor in the condenser area or evaporator area. Sometimes when they become defective they will run for a while and just warm up and stop while the compressor continues to run. I learned that one on four costly returns to the home. The cost was to me not the customer. Thanks, Sea Breeze
