OT - Refrigerator runs all the time?

to fix, put everything in another refig or ice chest and unplug the refrig, prop door open and put small heater in there and let it thaw out GOOD, huge amounts of water will come out the bottom, our refrig would run like new afterwards until it iced up again

or, the "eggshell" timer for defrost cycle could be stuck, refrig will never deforst and you get the ice buildup

hope this helps

I agree with Mark, clean the condesor coils then check for a door gasket leak. Close the door on a normal piece of paper and if the gasket is correct then pulling the paper out should have resistance. Adjust the gasket seal by loosing the screws under the gasket then retighten.

Be sure the door lite goes off when closed. Bad door switch?

99% of defrost timers hang open causing a no run condition. Of the ones that hang shut will cause the evap coils to ice. Ice is a insulator thus all cooling will stop.

Slow fan speed. Replace fan motor is about the only way to tell if this was the problem. Usually a no cooling diagnose tho.
