Freezer keeps thawing. There was an ice build up.

I don’t this specific model but this is normally due to a blockage from the freezer department to the drainage that goes to the back of the freezer. One has to take out the drawers, thaw the ice that sculpted at the drainage point. Open the back cover and clean the rubber nipple from any blockage or dirt and the problem is solved. Different models maybe different.

Not usually, will have to thaw, then run pan of hot water through drai. Can pull lower vent cover off to make sure it runs into drain pan under fridge. Drain may look clean but tube may not be. Can take wire from hanger to clear as well.

HI,IF THE FREEZER IS BUILDING ICE ON EVAP COVER THAT IS NOT DEFROSTING PROPERLY,REPLACED THE CONTROL BOARD AND DEFROST B-METAL TO REPAIRD THE PROBLEM..

switch off machine. open doors an manually defrost.clean any filters/drain holes(wire is not heated,pull/push to clean pipe)dry as best you can.switch on again.it is best to manually defrost any unit every 6 months and if temp edjustable adjust to -20c for optimum economy.water to icemaker is not important on 601f but is on some others.be carefull

that is unusual for the ice maker to cause it not to cool, but definitely not unheard of. if the fill tube to the ice maker, or ice maker itself, is leaking down the back of the freezer, behind the evaporator cover, it would form ice around the evaporator fan motor. this would cause the fan not to run, and the temp in the freezer and frige would rise. the ice would melt when it went into defrost, but then build up again. you should remove the rear panel in freezer and see if you see any ice build up around the fan blade, and if so, find where it is coming from. I hope this is the case for you. much cheaper than a compressor or new frige if it is. let me know if you have further questions. good luck, shane.

Check the defrost timer which may be behind the kick-plate, inside the control panel or an Adaptive Defrost Control (motherboard) on the back.

Your defrost is not working. First find the defrost timer, make sure it is working. Mark the little dial and wait a half hour or so to see if it moves. If you do have to replace the timer, you may still have to do a manual defrost, the ice in the freezer can take a long time to melt out. If your freezer does not come apart easy, you can turn the timer to the defrost spot(it will click and the compressor will stop) a few times until no more water comes out of the freezer drain tube to the drain pan. You will then feel good air flow out of the freezer fan. If the freezer drain is frozen up, which happens on my fridge it will take all day for it to thaw. That's why I have to take my freezer all apart, a real pain.

If the freezer is on top then empty out the freezer and remove the bottom and back liner of the freezer compartment usually phillips screws. In the back you will see the freezer coils along with a defrost element. Below these two items u will see a drip tray that collects water from the coils on defrost cycle, in the center of the pan will be a drain hole that connects to a hose that leads to a pan under the refrigerator.Normally the water is collected there and evaporated. The hole in the tray in the freezer is clogged. Thaw it and clean it until you can pour water in it and it goes to the pan down below. please rate me

The automatic defrost system is malfunctioning causing a frost build up. There are 3 components in the defrost system. A timer, a thermostat, and a heater. The most common to go is the timer. But it would have to be checked by a technician to be sure.

common problem is part number 67003375 adaptive defrost control. also reccomend replacing part number 67003964 at same time. control located in refrige behind left upper panel. def therm clipds on evaporator behind panel in freezer.
