 Freezer freezing up Brand: Sears Model Number: 106.723540 Age: More than 10 years
About a month ago I noticed that the freezer was not cooling properly. I remover the condenser cover and it was completely covered with ice. I allowed it to deice and then put it back together. About a week ago the same thing has occurred. I allowed it to melt again and then turned it back on and allowed it to cool off again. I manually advanced the heater timer control until it went into the defrost mode. The heater element heated up and melted the frost off the condenser. The timer continued to function and turned the compressor back on. The unit appears to be running properly now. Is it possible that the timer was stuck and was not going into the defrost mode? Any advise would be appreciated. |
