Woke up this morning, freezer seemed not as cold. Sure enough, stuff was starting to thaw and fridge was cool but not cold. Display said -9 for the freezer which was clearly not right and 45ish for fridge which seemed correct. Unplugged it, pulled It out and cleaned the coils that were a bit dirty. Compressor kicked on like normal and fan was running well. Plugged it back in, fridge thermostat had raised from being unplugged but freezer still insisted on -9.
Pulled freezer apart and coils inside were about 85% frosted/frozen with a lot of build up. Let a blow dryer do the work and defrosted it as I was going to start trouble shooting the defrost system.
After putting it all back together for the time Being, it’s running fine and has cooled the fridge back down from 61 to 39 in a few hours. While I will still need to diagnose the defrost issue, my bigger concern is the freezer thermomstat on the front reading -9 even after running the hair dryer in there.
Any ideas on that aspect?
At this point the condenser will only kick on if the fridge goes above it’s set temp but it also thinks the freezer is at -9.
