Turn off
take all food out.
open door of freezer.
let all ice melt away.
remove cover over evaporator coil.
turn on.
should hear fan running.
if it doesn't, hot wire it with 110 v.
if fan no works with hotwire, replace fan.
if fan works with hot wire, find evaporator thermostat about 1 inch big
clipped on coil of evaporator. short out ( put wire connecting its two wires ) .
if fan runs now, replace evaporator thermostat about $ 15

My fridge freezes the food in the fridge .
The freezer will freeze up on the coils in the freezer side and stop the air flow from coming up to the fan to blow into the other side. I have to melt the ice from the coils then it will work again. what is the problem with the coils freezing up. Does the freezer have a cycle it goes into to thaw this ice from the coils and is not doing it.
I have a kenmore M#106-953017081
coils freezing up

I have a Kenmore model 363.59577994 side by side ref/freezer. The coils on the freezer side keepin icing up so nothing cools properly. I have had this issue before many years ago and had to replace the defrost timer on that unit but it was a much, much older unit. I pulled out the heater assemply and the thermostat since the hearer unit was all black and there was black powder like something had burnt underneath of it. When I looked at the heater, one end slid out so the coil inside is broken.
I am ordering a replacement unit now, but my question is should I replace the defrost timer just in case it is bad also? it isn't very expensive and I may as well do it since I'll have everything pulled apart. The problem is I saw what the unit looks like on the wensite to order it, but where is it located on the ref/freezer? I cannot find anything that resembles the picture?
