Strange things with Admiral side by side fridge. Ice build up on the freezer coils which is then causing the fridge to heat up. Have had the heater element replaced and 2 new chip boards inserted. Total cost so far £250. The Engineer has also tried putting the freezer into timed defrost rather than adaptive. Still no joy. Have been also trying the manual defrost option, open doors, hold in light switch, fridge thermo option down 3 times, then down twice more.

But this is not heating up the element to defrost the ice.. Its strange.. Engineer has literally taken apart the electrics, looking for loose connections. He has 10 years experience in Maytag/Admiral fridge freezers but he is now baffled. I have to manually defrost fridge weekly other temp in fridge will rise to unnaceptable level..

Any help appreciated, at wits end. If no joy then will have no choice but to ditch this £1200 piece of junk.

Thanks

Mike
