This is weird. Our fridge works fine during summer months, no problems. This morning it's snowing outside, guess what - fridge not cooling. and NO it is not outside, LOL - we had the same problem last winter, unplugged it for about a day and let it defrost, plugged back in and will work fine for about 2-3 weeks and gradually stop cooling again. During summer months we never have a problem, it defrosts just fine. Does this make any sense to anyone?? why would auto-defrost work during summer and not in winter? Temperature in the kitchen is fairly constant, just doesn't make sense.
thanks for any help you can offer.

Just a coinsidence, IMO. What's the model number?

Hi Jim,
It's a Kenmore bottom freeser unit, Model # C978-66692-1
On the cover of the owner's manual is marked Model 18, if that helps any.
Sure is a weird coincidence though, it started this last winter and we would just unplug it to let it defrost then it would work fine for 2-3 weeks and continued to do this till spring, never had a problem all summer and it started again last week.
couldn't happen at a better time as it's cool enough outside to keep perishables on the deck...lol

thanks again bud
