My freezer parts are frozen is that why my top fridge dosen't get cold could it be the heater part that doesn't work
For model number 59669982011
Hello Alcide, thank you for inquiring. This is most likely due to the Electronic Control Board part PS11755733 for your model.

My fridge is not getting cold, freezer is cold. I do have frost build up on coils. Would the heater part be out on my unit causing the build up and not cooling?
For model number ABB1921BRW00
Hello Timothy,
Thank you for your question. If the coils on the heater have frost buildup, it is likely that the heater would need to be replaced. Hope this helps!

Ice in the bottom of the freezer
For model number 59669963011
Hi Bruno, thank you for reaching out. Ice buildup at the bottom of the freezer is normally caused by a clog in the p-trap drain tube. You can thaw the ice and defrost the appliance to make sure the drain tube is not frozen and blocked. Clear the drain tube of any build up to make sure it has proper flow. We hope this solves your problem!
This is a temperature sensing mechanism. It can sense the rise in evaporator temperature during a defrost cycle and cycles the defrost heater off after all frost is melted from the coils.
