Its defrost problem.You need to first try manual defrost procedure.This will completely defrost the ice.But if again after few hours or few days, same problem is noticed of coils getting iced, then its defrost problem.---------
In defrost problem, mostly fridge section section stops getting cool.It cools but not properly.----- And freezer section works properly.
------------
The manual defrost reset procedure.
The procedure is as follows: ---- First unplug the unit
from main power outlet. Then empty whole unit completely. Then keep both the
doors open. Wait for 24 hours. All the ice collected on the coils and in the
freezer section will get melted. Clean the water from the sections.
Then Connect the power cord of the unit to main power outlet after 24
hours/.Then set the temperature to normal in both fridge and freezer section.
It will take near to 4 hours to get run in its proper cooling cycle. Then
check, if the problem returns again. Then its defrost board problem.
------------- If it's again
building up ice that means the unit is not defrosting. It's starting the cooling
procedure, and then while defrosting, it's not working. The defrost assembly
consists of three main parts. The defrost thermostat, the defrost heater and
defrost board. Any of the one is not functioning. When thermostat sense the
maximum cooling, it triggers the defrost heater to start heating and this
defrosts the ice collected on the coils and the system works. Both thermostat
and heater are controlled by defrost board. First the thermostat and
defrost heater to be checked, if both check ok by meter and visually, then its
defrost board causing the problem. You can get
required parts from from online sites like:

should help.Thanks.Helpmech.
