My unit had been humming along fairly well, except for the top icemaker but that's another story, until one day last week when the bottom icemaker stopped making ice. I assumed a line was frozen since it's happened before when the freezer door wasn't closing properly. All new door seals fixed that. This time I got the line to the bottom icemaker unthawed but still wasn't getting water. I happen to hit the water dispenser in the door and nothing came out of it. That pointed to more frozen lines. I finally got into the water tank and found the coiled up lines frozen up. After unthawing those everything worked again. I put a new water filter in it and the pressure seems the same as it always has when everything worked. But a few hours later it was frozen again. We moved some stuff around thinking maybe it was not allowing air flow but that hasn't helped.
I've thawed it a few times and it continues to freeze back up in a mater of hrs. This is the first time I've had this issue. I tore into the thing and can't find anything that obviously stands out. The evaporator fan turns freely and runs with no odd sound when the freezer door switch is closed. There's no ice frozen on it. I looked at the evaporator coil and it isn't frozen over. The air damper was open and there is air flow to the top. I'm not sure if it's strong enough as I've never really paid attention to it before. When I put thermometers in it the bottom of the refrigerator part is very cold right next to the water tank. It's no wonder it's freezing up. But the air temp in the top is barely cool enough. It's running around 40 or so.
There's a good 15 degrees difference between the top and the bottom behind the drawers. I'm having a hard time figuring it out. It seems to be providing enough cooling, the cold air just doesn't seem to be moving as it should. But nothing appears to not be working to the eye. I've also cleaned the condenser coils but they weren't very dirty as I have cleaned them before. This is one of the units that freezes ice on the back of the cabinet. (Brilliant design.) I've tried to help that but it still does it and is another, another story. That's never affected the water tank though. Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks.
