I have the same problem with my whirlpool MODEL ET17JMXJWOO. The freezer works fine but it fills up the air vent from the freezer to the fridge with ice. I did the same thing - turned off the whole thing, defrosted it. It worked for a week, then ice filled it up again. How much does it cost to repair this problem? the fridge is about 8 years old and otherwise is in great condition. Is it worth it to buy a new fridge?

I got the same problem. For some reason in the freezer part on the back wall there is a condensor and it keeps on getting all iced up and then there is not enough air pressure for the fan to circulate cold air to you fridge part. I took mine all apart used a hair dryer to thaw out everything which took out about 1 gallon of water from the hose in the bottom back of fridge. It fixed the problem for about 4 days and then froze up again, There must be some type of tempature sensor or automatic defroster not working like it shoud.Does anybody know? Help me too?

My double door galaxy (5 year old or so) seems to be at the right temperatures but the control reads 56 degrees for the freezer and fridge
Get a thermometer for both fridge and freezer to ensure temps are correct. Freezer should be around 0F and fridge around 37-38. If temps are correct but display is reading that much differently, control is most likely bad.

Refrigerator
The self defrost mechanism is not working. The evaporator is getting blocked with ice, an insulator, and that affects freezer as well as refrig temps. When you unplug unit the ice melts and it will work till the ice block returns.

Hotpoint fridge freezer freezer ok but fridge not working temp is always 21 degrees tried to set to 4 degrees but just keeps going to 21 freezer is fine -22 degrees
Merv -

Most manufacturer's fridges are designed for 34 degrees F in the fresh food compartment and 0 degrees F in the freezer compartment. Setting the fresh food compartment to a value lower than 32 degrees will freeze any moisture in foods, fruits and vegetables and freeze water in juices and other beverages resulting in broken containers, exploding cans, etc.

What you need is another freezer. Trying to convert a refrigerator into a freezer is going to be very difficult - especially without ruining it.

Good luck!

Just noticed that the bottom of samsung RFG238AA
Your settings should be -5 to -10 in freezer and +37 in the fresh food compartment. This will keep the unit from running too long and your floor temp to be normal..
Consult your users manual!

Freezer is too cold (-14 degrees) and fridge is too warm (51 degrees). The freezer keeps gettting colder but the fridge part keeps getting warmer.
The fridge gets its cold air from the freezer through a vent(damper) between the freezer and fridge.The fan in the freezer blows air through it. Make sure this fan is running. You may have to hold the door switch in for it to run. There is a flap you adjust with the fridge temp. control. Make sure it's opening and closing when you adjust the fridge temp.
The problem could be the electronic control if you have one or the mechanical linkages.


The temp sensor for the freezer may be reading the warm air in the fridge so is not cutting the compressor off.

Kenmore Side by Side Refrigerator too cold
On a fridge freezer only the fridge temperature is monitored. In a cold location the fridge might not even need cooling and the freezer would get too warm but the thing won't care.

If the fridge sensor sees it as too warm then it will keep the motor running and the first thing to get really cold is the freezer.

Remember the freezing part is not temperature controlled ion a fridgefreezer.

Fridge doesn't get cold enough
you have either a Defrost heater / a defrost timer/ or a defrost bi-metal that is bad. if you post your model # i can look it up and show you how to set it into defrost to see if the heaters are ok
Since you replaced the timer already that leaves two things you need to check set it into defrost if you know how and remove the panel in the back wall of the freezer you should see the heater(s) are on if not check pwr 120vac at the heaters if 0 volts the bi-metal is bad
