Coils frozen in refrigerator
Cooling coils froze up. Removed back panel in freezer section. After thawing coils, manually advanced defrost timer to check if fan stopped and defrost (heat) strips energized. Fan did stop, but heating strips did not energize to thaw coils. Used electrical meter to determine circuit was open at defrost thermostat. Ordered replacement and installed in about 20 minutes. No issues so far.

Hello and thank you for writing. Dial ranges from 1-7, 1 being the coldest setting, and 7 being the warmest. Usually, it is a good idea to have control around number 3 or 4. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime if you require further assistance.

The freezer is too warm to keep ice cream solid. The timer cycles on approximately every 8 hrs. and remains on for approximately 20 minutes. The mechanical thermometer in the freezer is in freezing range. The refrigerator runs continuously between defrost cycles. The condenser coils are clean.
