Freezer started not keeping temp with a large frost pack blocking lower intake vent, fridge side was OK. Pulled freezer section open, found evep motor struggling to spin- no airflow.
Replaced evap motor- blows air fine now, cleaned condensor coils, verified condenser fan spins slowly (moves air...seems normal), condenser coils warm while running. leave the unit on for several days, fridge gets down to 37deg setpoint, freezer did get to 0deg once , but cannot get below 16deg 1/2 full of food. Fridge side took a few hours to get back to 37 once food was placed inside. Food side stays at 37 consistanly, freezer runs constantly and never gets below 16deg, makes ice.
What next? defrost thermostat? Defrost heater always on?
