Age: 1 - 4 years

The freezer continues to defrost for a period of time and then refreeze…as evidenced by the ice cubes and by drops of water on the roof of the freezer that are at times in water form and at other times frozen (if that makes sense). I have turned the fridge up to 9 (the max setting) and it can barely maintain 44 deg – recommended temperatures for a fridge are 40 Deg F or lower.

Check the evaporator fan in the freezer. It should be running if the freezer and fridge is not cold enough. Refrigerator Repair Guide: How To Test the Evaporator Fan - ACME HOW TO.com
Make sure the vent or damper between the fridge and freezer is open.

Is the defroster melting all the ice on the coils and ice on the wall. coils are behind wall.
