Freezer defrosting by itself

Hotpoint food centre 8922 freezer side has started to defrost by itself, with all the ice cubes in the ice maker melting.
The water dispenser on the front is not working like it should be as its only allowing the remaining ice cubes to be dispensed.

Appreciate any help!

Can you hear the compressor running? Is the fan inside the freezer running? It could be that a wire connection has come loose during the move. Was the fridge laid on it's side during the move? If so you probably have compressor oil restricting the refrigerant system. If compressor and fan are running you will probably need a qualified refrigeration tech to check it out.

SOURCE: Ice maker not working

The icemakers won't make ice if the temperature is not below a certain set point. Varies between manufacturers. Try making the temp colder.

Adjust the temperature control for the freezer to a normal setting. Fast freeze is only for when new products are put in that need to be frozen. This locks the system into a continuous run mode and could be responsible for the freezing condition in the refrigerator section. Check the temperatures with a thermometer as the sensor for the freezer temperature could be bad causing the light to come on.

Ice maker makes ice but will dispense through door. Checked and it is not clogged.

Good day!!!

This could be because the ice is clumped in the ice bin. When the automatic defrost cycle occurs, heat is transferred to the freezer area. This can cause the cubes to melt slightly and refreeze back together. You can take the bin out and give it a good shake, or simply discard the cubes and start over with a fresh batch of ice cubes. By increasing the amount of food in the freezer compartment, you may be able to buffer the heat that comes from the defrost cycle and avoid clumping issues. If you have a large ice bin and hardly use any ice, it is possible that the cubes have gotten stuck together just from the weight of the cubes on top of others.

I hope this information will be helpful...Thanks for using fixya...

A service rep was out and replaced the refrigerator evaporator coil today and the refrigerator is working fine. However the ice maker was not making ice, due to ice build up on the back of the ice drawer...

just a thought sometimes when the defrost has been set you have to go and reset the freezer temp. it should be around zero-f ..... when you reset the freezer temp you should hear it start up. if that dont work call the service company and explain over the phone you need directions to reset or turn it back on.. and tell them if they have to come out you shouldent have to pay because the freezer was working before they came.... and you should have no problems.... the last thing they want is an unhappy customer.. atleast the good companys... good luck i hope this helps

Ice cubes shrinking and crystalizing in freezer

what is heppening is the defrost circuit and compressor or trying to run at the same time! its either the timer itself or the limit switches inside the wall near the defrost heater coil are shorted closed

Frost free freezer not defrosting

Sounds like you need a new defrost heater. Check your manual for it's location. Basically all a defrost hearer is , is a glass tube with wire inside of it, that acts as a resistor, it heats up, and melts all ice. Remove all food to another freezer, thaw freezer, and check heater if it is bad, it will look like a burned out halogen bulb.

Mr.

When the heater comes on for defrost behind the rear freezer panel , it gets red hot . The defrost thermostat ( bimetal ) , cuts the heater off , when it reaches 140 degrees for new (2000 - 2009 ) and 55 degrees for older refrigs . When this temp is reached at the top of the coils , the lower portion will be hotter due to being closer to the heater . The frozen food in the freezer , is what keeps the temp down in front of the rear freezer panel . No food in freezer , the hotter the freezer section will be .

Freezer side of refridgerator doesn't freeze foods properly and also makes only about 10 cubes a day. food side works fine, it's a Hotpoint model #HSS251FMB WW

If freezer is icing up, you might have a defrost problem. Frost free models have a heating element that is controlled by a timer to automatically defrost ice, defrost timer turns on defrost heating element every 12 hours to melt ice in freezer and allow good air flow.
You can test defrost element with an ohm meter(located inside freezer coils-will have two wires going to a plug connection), if OK replace defrost timer (located in various places depending on make and model

Ice cubes made by ice maker become large fused chunks over time.

Ice cubes will deteriorate over time if not used. They shrink due to defrosting of the freezer and will become stale.
Once the ice bin is full, turn the ice maker off until you use the cubes and or dump the cubes every 3 or 4 days and start over.
