Amanda for Model Number RS25J500D5G/AA Fridge and freezer not getting cold enough. on MAX the fridge only drops to 43 degrees. Not cold enough on freezer side to make ice. I have fully defrosted the freezer side-vents were iced over. I removed bottom panel and used a blow dryer to de ice the coils. I used a blow dryer in the top and mid vents until water stopped dripping. Condenser fan in back bottom of fridge is working.
Answer Amanda, If your coils were fully frosted top to bottom then you most likely had a defrost issue. Heater, defrost bi-metal or main control could be the issue. Control should send 120 vac thru the sensor and thermal fuse to the heater for a defrost. The heater should have a resistance of 10 - 50 ohms and bi-metal should read closed. If there was only ice at the top then you would have a sealed system leak or fan motor not running. Fan motor should have a reading of 12 to 13 vdc. The compressor must be running. Read More...
