Hi.

I've got a JCD2389GT side by side.

The unit was not cooling properly. I noticed the back panel of the freezer was frosted over. I removed the back panel, and coils were froozen over.

It appears there's a problem with the auto defrost. Any suggestions on trouble shooting?

Problem started after my cleaned the inside of the refrigerator side.

Since you have the adaptive defrost control board on your model, this thread explains everything about this problem and what to check for and do:

Jake,

I saw the previous posting regarding replacing the Adaptive Defroster board. I bought one and the heating element/themosat as well and replaced all last night. The element was proably ok, but I didn't want to make two trips to the parts store and it's not returnable so I just went ahead and installed it.

I exepect coils to be relatively ice free when I get home this evening.

Sounds good, are they still ice free today?

Jake
