Hi, I have been having some issues with this refrigerator. The freezer is frosting up and thus not letting any cool air make it to the lower (refrigerator) area. I previously have replaced the lower door gasket as it was damaged. It was not making ice either and I determined the water fill solenoid was bad as well as the the ice push out motor, so I replace the water valve and the complete ice maker (it was well worn and pretty ugly anyhow). I also then replaced the defrost timer as it was still not making ice and was frosting up. All went well for about a month, heard it defrost every now and then and was making ice, then back to frosting up and no ice being made. I suspected I had a defective timer...it was running but no defrost cycle or ice.......so I pulled the timer out and exchanged it for a new one which is now installed. I am getting ice again but I have not heard it go thru a defrost cycle yet. It has been in for a week now. How often should it go thru a defrost cycle and is it only the timer that determines the defrost cycle? Any insight is appreciated.
