Try turning the temperature setting down to a lower setting. The top shelves will always be the ones hardest to freeze, as heat rises, cold falls.

SOURCE: top is frozen lower shelves food is dethawing

One of two things is going on here, either the door is not closing properly (or some one left it open), check the seal all the way around especially at the bottom.

Or most likely you have a refrigerant (freon) leak that has left the charge low enough that you are unable to get it to cool throughout. A leak on this type of unit is usually in the evaporator in the corner where a weld was made. The evaporator is about $189.00, with refrigerant a new drier and supplies I bet it would run about $450.00 to repair.

Have a upright freezer and the meat on the top shelf is thawed out but the rest of the food on the lower shelves are frozen. Is it a vent problem
Either the door seal is bad or the freezer has a refrigerant leak or a bad compressor. Best to have an appliance tech check it. It won't take him long to locate the issue.

Top 3 shelves don't freeze
Cold air sinks. If evaporator temp is not low enough only the items on bottom of freezer will get cold and possibly freeze - stuff on top will not.
Throw a digital thermometer in there towards the top shelves and I bet your temps are high. Low refrigerant will cause this; furthermore, if you leave the refrigerator door open by accident, the refrigerator will never shut off, the freezer evaporator will freeze over with a block of ice, and the freezer temps will be higher. If that is what happened, simply unplug the unit and allow it to self defrost and then turn it back on for proper operation and make sure that the refrigerator door is properly closed!

I have severe ice forming in my freezer.
Hi,

On this unit the shelves are the cooling coils and carry the refrigerant (freon) through the system. They will attract the warm moist air by design, so if you have an air leak in the door or elsewhere it will tend to build up there first.

This being said you need to check something else first. Make sure the other shelves are cold. If they are frosted and cold like normal then you most likely have a door that is not closing all the way or a bad seal. If the lower shelves are not cold then you have a system problem, typically a refrigerant (freon) leak that is causing the top shelf to absorb most of the work and not enough refrigerant to flow to the bottom shelves.

I hope this helps

Only upper section of the freezer works, heavy ice-buildup.
Hi,

The symptoms you are describing are typically from a refrigerant (freon) leak. Unfortunately it will be as simple as adding new refrigerant as it will just leak out. The leak will need to be repaired. From my experience with this unit my best guess is that the evaporator coils would need replaced. An average repair cost for this type of repair would be around $400.00.

I hope this helps.

I have a 1970 model norge upright freezer and i have a build up on ice on the first 2 shelves from the top and the food on the bottom 3 shelves does not freeze completely
It soungs like you may have compressor going bad or a freon leak. Being a 1970 it would not be cost effective to repair.

Defroster leaks
you have a cloged evap. drain. the rf is defrosting properly but with the drain be clogged the water has to go somewhere which is generally in the crisper draws on top and bottom models. two way to clear up this issue. turn rf OFF for at least 48 to 72 hrs. to allow the drain to de-ice or take matters into your own hands and take the back panel off of the freezer and using boiling hot water pour it down the evap. drain tube until it flows like you just flushed a tiolet
