I have a MSD2758DRW Refrigerator. The coils are icing over about once a month for the last 2 months. From prior posts, it looks like the defroster is not working.
1) Is it possible for me to fix the problem or should I bring in a repair person to diagnosis the problem?
2) If it's suggested that I can fix the problem, what steps do I take to pinpoint the component?
3) Can you please include a link to a technical service manual?
Thanks,
Brad

Please disconnect power from your refrigerator before attempting the following! You will likely need an adaptive defrost board for your refrigerator. The defrost thermostat and heater is only available as an assembly and can be checked while the unit is freezing by checking the resistance with a multimeter. there should be some resistance to the heater assembly but not infinite. If the resistance is high then the heater assembly will have to be replaced. Your model has an adaptive defrost board located in the upper right hand back portion of the control panel in the refrigerator side. This cover is removed by placing your fingers in the 2 indentations at the back of the cover one on the left and one on the right and pulling down and forward. Once the cover is off there are a couple of screws directly above the lights which have to be removed and a couple of hex head screws behind the number faceplate and on the back wall near the water filter. Once these are removed the whole housing will come down the board is at the far back right. It will either be a bare circuit board or a small white box. Just unplug it and replace it with a new one. This will correct 99% of the defrost problems on this line of refrigerators.

most refrigerators utilize an electrical heater coil to prevent freeze-ups. your coil has most likely failed. hard to pinpoint without being there, however, i would check its resistance with an ohm-meter with power off: if no resistance, then coil is burned out. look for around 2 ohms

1. Ice maker is not cold enough to start the ice making process.
3. having to take off the back panel is an indication of a problem in the defrost system. Call to have a service tech check this out.
