At 2:00 pm Sunday, opened the freezer and noticed the ice was very “wet” and other frozen items were not frozen hard. Checked the temperature and it was 34 degrees in the freezer and 50 degrees in the refrigerator.
About three hours later, checked and the ice was frozen again, temperature in freezer was 0 degrees. Did not check the temperature in the refrigerator.
At 8:00 am Monday. Same thing. Ice was wet, temperature in freezer was 34 degrees and refrigerator was 50 degrees.
At 9:00 am removed the back panel from the freezer. The coils were completely defrosted and the freezer fan was working. Compressor fan is working. Evaporator Coils do not have dust on them.
At 12:00 pm Monday, temperature in freezer is back to zero. There is some frost on the coils. Most frost is on the top coil where the thermostat is attached and the bottom coil. See Picture.
I’m wondering if the problem is the Defrost timer and/or Defrost Thermostat but that is just a guess. Need help troupbleshooting.
Will probably be replacing the refrigerator, but cannot do that for a couple of weeks. So, buying a couple of parts to keep it working for awhile would be helpful.
Any help would be appreciated
