Freezer at 34 and Fridge at 50. Frost build up on inside back panel of freezer

Your refrigerator's defrost system may be the cause of the frost buildup on the inside back panel and the higher temperatures in the refrigerator compartment. To resolve the issue, you can take the following actions: Check the thermostat for defrosting: Once the coils have reached a certain temperature, it is the job of the defrost thermostat to turn off the heater. It may not be turning off the heater, resulting in excessive frost buildup, if the thermostat is defective. Using a multimeter, you can check the thermostat for continuity. Check the heater that defrosts: During the defrost cycle, the defrost heater melts the accumulated frost on the coils. It's possible that the heater won't be able to melt the frost, resulting in its accumulation. Using a multimeter, you can check the heater for continuity. Check the defrost control board and timer: The defrost cycle is started on a regular basis by the defrost timer or control board. It's possible that the defrost cycle is not being initiated, resulting in frost buildup, if the timer or control board is defective. Using a multimeter, you can check for continuity on the control board or timer. And if the above is not helpful, do try the ones below; Check the thermostat for defrosting: On the evaporator coils in the freezer compartment, you'll find the defrost thermostat. Once the coils have reached a certain temperature, it shuts off the defrost heater. Use a multimeter and disconnect the wires to test the thermostat at room temperature for continuity. The thermostat is faulty and must be replaced if there is no continuity , you can replace with https://amzn.to/3lvYEAy. Check the heater that defrosts: In the freezer compartment, the defrost heater can be found on the evaporator coils. During the defrost cycle, it melts the accumulation of frost on the coils. Use a multimeter to verify continuity while disconnecting the heater's wires for testing. The heater is defective and needs to be replaced if there is no continuity with a new one that can be found on https://amzn.to/3lui4pr. Check the defrost control board and timer: Behind the toe kick panel or inside the control panel at the top of the refrigerator is where you'll find the defrost timer or control board. It is in charge of periodically starting the defrost cycle. Using a multimeter at room temperature, check for continuity when testing the timer or control board. The timer or control board is broken and needs to be replaced with a new control board and timer via https://amzn.to/3I0j2Bn. Examine the door seal: Warm air from the outside can enter the refrigerator and cause frost buildup on the coils if the door gasket is damaged or not sealing properly. Check the gasket for any signs of wear or damage, and if necessary, replace it.

Frost free fridge freezer is icing up inside at the back of my fridge.

Hi, please make sure that the freezer is properly closed when you're not using it. You can also lower the freezer temperature slightly. If you have a water-based spray bottle, you might spray some salt water in the back of the freezer to help breakdown any current ice buildup. Thank you.

Frost builds up on my frost free bottom freezer. What to do?

Check the door gasket for tightness. It should be able to hold a 1" strip of paper with the door closed on it. Test every 6" or so. 'Frost Free' sometimes means it has a defrost cycle depending on the type of freezer. Don't freeze any home made items unless that are not sealed and cold. 'make model (what it is)' as the first three words in every question please. :>)

I have a 1993 Imperial HD Commercial freezer. Model UL2494ECW1. Been working great until I defrosted it.

Warm moist air condensing. It should stop. There may have been ice that is now melting in the insulation. Just keep drying the outside. Leave the inside until tomorrow and chip off the frost with a plastic scraper.

Do we put a pan in to catch the frost when it defrosts and melts or drips water?

Certainly - the more water you catch the less that can escape and possibly cause problems... If you live in a hard or medium water area - you will find the water you save will be much kinder in your steam iron.

Refrigeration circuit charge

It would help to have refrigerant type. The pressures will vary according to load, as when it is first started up. The best way is to weigh the amount of refrigerant charged. By charging by feel, can read the compressor current draw, it is safe to not exceed 1/6th of the compressor LRA. Can charge slowly by filling the evaporator to feel cold refrigerant from entrance to exit. Condensor may fill with the bottom 1/3 cooler than the hot/warm top. Overfilling will overload the compressor, frost appears on the suction line, first portion of the evaporator may not cool off and actually be warmed.

Fridgidare upright freezer running won't shut off automatically

If it is full of food & you can't see the back this happened to us; see if the plastic striping that runs down the back corners got shoved down out of proper placement. It's suppose to seal like weather striping or caulk. It will cause the problems you're describing. Around the door too bottom as well. The inside of ours got smudged down & had no clue til I had to start removing the contents.

Frost build up around ice dispenser

Does you ice dispenser serve ice through the door? If yes, then It's likely that room air is entering your freezer through the ice exit, and condensing as ice on your ice maker. It's a very common problem; The flap isn't sealing tightly after ice is delivered through the chute. Clean you ice maker, removing all the ice, and then stuff the exit chute with plastic grocery bags. The bags will force the flap tight against the chute, and add a layer of insulation from room air. Keep an eye on ice development, for a few days, and if you're confident you've found the problem, order a replacement ice door.

My LFX31925ST French Door freezer is making a loud vibrating noise that stops when the door is opened. It appears to be above the fan. Frost buildup in freezer.

Possibly the door isn't shutting completely. Here's a YouTube video where another guy had a similar problem and how he solved it.
