Frequently Asked Questions About Domestic Refrigerator Repair:
Coldspot design is frosting up, is there a faulty component?
My refrigerator self defrosting is not working and is not cooling well. The freezer works fine but is building up frost. It is a Sears Coldspot frostless 16.. Thank you for your help/advice
With most other designs we would say you have a burnt out component but on this one---sometimes in hot humid weather this design will build up frost then won't defrost automatically because the timer motor only runs when the compressor cycles off. You may be able to solve this problem by leaving it unplugged with the doors open for at least 24hrs so things can thaw out.
If the situation returns in a week or so after you have done this, you can be sure you need one of the components of the automatic defrost circuit replaced.
