So first thing you try is , perform,
manual defrost reset procedure.---------
The manual defrost
reset procedure is as follows : ----
First unplug the unit from main power outlet. Then empty whole unit
completely. Then keep both the doors open. Wait for 24 hours. All the ice
collected on the coils and in the freezer section will get melted.
Clean the water from the sections. Then Connect the power cord of the unit to
main power outlet after 24 hours/.Then set the temperature to normal in both
fridge and freezer section. Then check,if same frost is getting collected, then its defrost problem,. If it's again
building up ice that means the unit is not defrosting. It's starting the
cooling procedure, and then while defrosting, it's not working. The defrost
assembly consists of three main parts. The defrost thermostat, the defrost
heater and defrost board. Any of the one is not functioning. When thermostat
sense the maximum cooling, it triggers the defrost heater to start heating and
this defrosts the ice collected on the coils and the system works. Both
thermostat and heater are controlled by defrost board. First the
thermostat and defrost heater to be checked, if both check ok by meter and
visually, then its defrost board causing the problem. You can get

When the freezer section gets cold and reaches its required cooling temperature, after that the frost on freezer section starts defrosting and the cooling fan in the freezer section blows this cool air from freezer to fridge. But if the defrost cycle does not start then over ice will get collected on freezer ventilations and that will block the air passing section from freezer to fridge, so the freezer gets cool but fridge section does not cool.
