Warm fridge and freezer. Frost on rear freezer panel and behind panel.

Removed the rear panel from the freezer (2 screws), defrosted the coils that were encased in ice, removed the old defrost heater, installed new defrost heater, and put rear freezer panel back in place.

Will not Defrost

The replacement went very well. The video was not just as the unit I have but with a little work I worked it out. The service was very good. I received the part in 1 Day. Thanks for the good info. Keep up the good work regarding the videos. This helped. Just for the info. I did a post mortem of the switch. The strain of the wires pulling on the switch caused the failure of the switch. The design of the old temp switch was bad and workmanship was very poor in the original box. Thanks again Ron

Refrigerator Too Warm

We used partselect troubleshooting appilication to figure out what was most likely causing the problem and what part would fix it. The suggested part was the freezer's defrost thermostat and the probability that this would fix it was 52%! The diagnosis made sense because when we emptied the freezer to see the part, the coils were frozen solid with a thick layer of ice. We thawed the ice and the refrigerator worked fine for a day and a half at which point the ice was back and the refrigerator was warm again. We ordered the part. It came in 2 days. We snipped two wires and removed the old part, twisted the wires of the new one in place, taped it up and it worked! Fast, easy, cheep! $8 For the part, about the same for shipping and no $70 service call. Selectparts is bookmarked for "house repair"!

Freezer temperature too high due to bad defroster

Watch all available videos and read numerous descriptions from others. Every appliance, even with the same model numbe, is not thesame, but all elements of internal construction were covered in different videos & instructions. What would have been straightforward and simple from the directions was made more difficult by the width of the freezer compartment and the ease of acces to the parts to be changed/repaired.
