Could be a number of things. It has a thermistor that sits on the evaporator to keep the fan off until it gets cold. It also has a switch above the door that switches the fan on when the door's closed. It could be a loose connection in the wiring, or, lastly, it could be a seized fan
Try defrosting the unit by shutting it down until all ice is gone. If this corrects the problem and the ice returns you may either have a defrosting problem or a low freon charge.
well most t stats have a differential of 5 to 7 but almost never more than ten deg so that the compressor wont short cycle .something you can check .some t stats you can adjust the differential on check if yours has that adjustment screw on the side or back of T stat if you need more help or parts e mail me at [email protected]
in many cases, these units have relays or contactors where the contact points actually weld together. this causes the unit to stay running even though power to the coil has been stopped. I'd start looking there first. don't over look the possibility that someone could have mistakenly miswired the unit.
cap tube/ has unit been serviced before/ if you know it has correct charge compressor may have failed easy fix. expansion valve or cap tube maybe another thing to check i always remove entire charge get a good micron reading put exact charge back in if wont pull down comp. likelly
Your unit should have a defrost timer.The timer may be stuck in a defrost.It should be located at the bottom of the unit next to the compressor.Open the door to the timer and observe the position of the timer.If you turn the knob and the unit starts up,it's the timer. If this is the case, you can purchase a new one at any local a/c supply.Let me know,Mike
