A few months ago i noticed the refrigerator side was not cooling, the temp. was up to 65 .. the freezer however was frozen and fan was running. I removed everything and unplugged and let it completely thaw as there was a substantial amount of ice build-up on coils in back of freezer. After that the refrigerator started cooling properly. NOW a few months later the same thing and the coils etc. behind panel on freezer side are all froze up again. I was told a common problem is this DEFROST HEATER not working, is that a correct assumption? Thanks for any help

Answer Hello Todd. You will need to test the heater and the defrost thermostat 5303917954. They should read closed for continuity when cold. If either one is open, replace that part. If they test good, you will need to replace the defrost timer 215846602. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DM1. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

Answer Hello George. You will need to remove the back wall inside the freezer and access the evaporator coils. Then you can access and replace the heater and thermostat in the unit.

If I replace the Defrost Timer Switch is it preset or must it be set? I notice that it turns. Our units coils keep freezing up and I am afraid I got the timing messed up by turning the red knob.

Water is dripping from the corners of the lower part of the seal on the freezer door, at the handle end and at the hinge end. The drip is where to seal joins the door, not on the freezer side of the seal (cabinet). The icemaker stopped working 3 days ago. Also, items put in the freezer then did not freeze and frozen goods began to thaw. The drip was noticed yesterday afternoon. I checked the water supply valve and the mesh filter is clear. The freezer is on top with the refrigerator below it. The refrigerator is working fine. I tested the freezer door seal with a sheet of paper and the seal is good against the cabinet. Any ideas on the problem?

Jim for Model Number MRT18FNEW2

Answer Jim, are you sure the freezer door was closed completely ? could be that there was something blocked and keeping the door slightly open ? Did you notice any heavy frost or ice on the back wall of the freezer or the freezer floor, You could have a clogged defrost drain system, but you should have other cooling complaints, you didn't mention. Thanks
