Kenmore freezer on top...both top freezer and lower fridge slowly getting warmer then they should.
Pulled the rear & front access and vacuumed all the dust bunnies out. If that doesn't work then what's next on DIY repairs short of Tannerite?

Take panel in the back of the inside of the freezer off. Coil froze up? I had to replace a timer switch in mine, would never give it time to defrost. OP, please re-read this post. He's talking about coils INSIDE the freezer. Doha! Short attention span. I just opened up the freezer & pulled everything out and yes the back of the interior is heavily frosted over. Now what to do? |

If there's not too much in it, transfer everything to a cooler and blow a fan into it until the evaporator coil thaws. Then try restarting it There are several other possibilities, a bad defrost timer, leaky door seals, or the insulation has become moisture laden and lost some of its efficiency. In this case the refrigerator should be left to sit for a few days to dry out. A low refrigerant charge could also be causing it. |
