Side by side Admiral freezer that has frost

You need a new bimetal fuse for your defrost cycle in your freezer.

what the problem most likely is a failed part of the defrost system Do you see a bunch of frost built up on the back wall of the freezer? If you do frost build up, take off the back wall of the freezer and replace the defrost heater and defrost thermostat. A hair dryer could be used to melt the built up frost from the coil behind the back wall. Another part that will cause frost build up is the defrost control, that isn't the freezer behind the back wall but instead it is part of the main computer board on the back of the refrig. I would replace heater/defrost thermostat first though, since they are the most likely to fail parts.

I hope my answer will help you to fix your refrigerator,

Hello Roxanne,

what the problem most likely is a failed part of the defrost system Do you see a bunch of frost built up on the back wall of the freezer? If you do frost build up,i would take off the back wall of the freezer and replace the deforst heater and defrost termination. A hair dryer could be used to melt the built up frost from the coil behind the back wall. Another part that will cause frost build up is the defrost control, that isn't the freezer behind the back wall but instead in the fresh food compartment in the control panel where the thermostat is. I would replace heater/defrost termination first though since they are the most likely to fail parts.

I hope my answer will help you to fix your refrigerator,

Open freezer door, pull food off shelves on lower half of inside freezer and look if you have frost building up on the back wall of freezer. If you do then you have a defrost heater or thermostat possible gone bad.

Advise if you have frost build up and I will advise on how to check it.

unplug appliance, melt ice on back of freezer, remove panel rear of freezer, find leads to defrost heater and test with a multimeter, if you have condinuity replace defrost termostat, if no condinuity replace defrost heater. after removing panel you will have to melt ice in rear with heat gun before testing.

i have a admiral serial # 1142843us, model # hmg211771. freezer at top freezes. hot at bottom. motor sound like it roars. frost inside frrezer at top.

you have defrost problem

The thermostat is not functioning the way it should leading to frost build up. You need to replace it. Should cost you around 40$

is there a heavy frost build up on the back wall of the freezer?? is the fan in the freezer working??

If the frost is on the back wall of the freezer then you most likely have a defrost problem or a bad evaporator fan motor.
