When should I transfer a solidly frozen 24 lb. Turkey from the freezer to the refrigerator to thaw, for cooking late the night 'before' Christmas Eve.
The evening of the 21st of December, it needs 3 days to thaw in a refrigerator.
SOURCE: freezer not freezing
The evaporater is located in the freezer section of unit.Defrost thermostat is cliped on the top of it. This is no doubt the culprit. You will need to check continuity on defrost heater and replace themostat.

First point: The entire fridge is cooled by the freezer section. A fan blows air across to the food section.
2) Every 8 hours or so, a timer shuts off the compressor cycle, and starts up a heater to defrost the freezer coils. If the heater(s) are burnt out, or if the safety thermostat (to prevent overheating) is open, then you will have no defrost. The coils will frost up and eventually prevent airflow to the food section. Milk goes sour.
3) In rare circumstances, the timer itself can stall. This cause the same symptoms as above, but this is not as common as the other 2 causes of No Defrost.
Sequence: Check heater continuity. Check safety thermostat continuity while cold. Check defrost timer operation.
Hope this helps. I am a journeyman with 39 years exp. Happy New Year.

You will need to unplug your freezer and let the ice melt. Now pull the back cover off and find your heater coil. its in a glass tube with rubber seals on each end. pay close attn: to the way it mounts so you can put the new one in. hope this was helpfull

as freezers are designed to operate from 10c to 35c,if the ambient temperature drops way below operating limits instead of freezing,the gas is actually warmer than outside and it will defrost rather than completely freeze solid.as soon as the lower limit (10c)is reached it will freeze again,unfortunately all the food is bad/unfit for humans/animals.although our local foxes love any food we put out.
