How to Defrost Refrigerator Defrost Timer Problem

Water Running in refrigerator from Freezer

Your defrost system is bad. Replace the defrost thermostat and defrost heater in the freezer.

sounds like you need to replace your defrost timer it is in the front underneath the fridge if you pull off the front kickplate you will see it in there

You could have an overheating problem, especially when you try to start the computer up again straight after a shutdown and it won't start, and starts only after it cools down.

This could be caused by a faulty fan (ie has stopped spinning or spins slowly) and or dust clogging the heatsink and or fan.
Clean/remove the dust and if the fan is faulty, replace it.

hi thanks for your question. you have a no defrost problem. the cheapest part to replace is the defrost termination switch. located in the freezer., its clamped to one of the coils by the fan motor replace this part. see what happens thanks the appliance doc

if you have a old refrigerator it is probaly dying this happened to my parrents fridge a couple years of ago so they got a newer frigde and it works good but if you by a fridge make sure you by name brands

The only thing a capacitor does is 'kick' the compressor to start it. There is a box on the compressor containing the start relay. If it is defective or dirty, it might buzz. With the power off, find it, remove its cover and use some canned air to blow off any dirt inside. If that doesn't fix it, replace it. If there is a fan down there, be careful...and be sure it is working.

The defrost cycle is not happening like it should, that's what causes the block of ice (and poor air flow). If you have all that defrosted look at the defrost bi-metal, it usually is a small round disk with a couple wires coming out of it and it's clipped on the coils. When it's cold enough, it passes electricity to the heat elements, when it gets hot enough it "opens" and kills power to the heat elements. If that is bad (swollen cracked or bloated) and not passing electricity to the elements that's the problem. Another item would be the defrost timer itself, if it doesn't work (no clock motor turning) then it will never go into defrost. And the last and usually least expected failure would be the heat element themselves not working

try cleaning the bulb
dust build up will over heat the assembly and shut the picture and sound off
mine did the same thing and
now it works great like new
just follow the manual on taking the bulb out use air in a can too clean it
