    I have the same refrigerator, same dang problem ice accumulating in the refrigerator return vent lower left side. I replaced the bi metal switch, and it helped. That's really a design flaw. It's gotten worse over the years. The Styrofoam retains water that freezes up and blocks the air return.

      Glad to help Refrigerators, it turns out, are very easy to repair, unless the condenser goes out.

    Hi! On the freezer side, what is the big hole at the bottom-- a drain or a vent? You reference an air vent at the bottom in your video, but I'm unclear where it is--if it's not the big hole, is it to the right side? Thanks for the helpful video!

    Thanks. Do you leave the refrigerator side to the coldest setting?

      No need. That setting mechanism no longer does anything.

    Great video! Are you normally supposed to feel air coming from the return vent? I put my hand in front and don’t feel any air blowing.

      No, the return vent goes to the freezer from the refrigerator side.

    I have a question for You. How often (min) does your refri turns on and off after You fixed ir and working well?

      I do not know, exactly but I would say it runs about the same as any other fridge.

    What if you don't use ice maker on side by side

    • @putnutskitchen9342
      @putnutskitchen9342  ปีที่แล้ว

      I guess you could remove it and have more room in the freezer. Make sure the water is disconnected.

    Did they say why the bottom section was iced solid?

    • @putnutskitchen9342
      @putnutskitchen9342  ปีที่แล้ว

      The return vent from the refrigerator side was clogged with frost. It happens over time I guess.

  • @patroll330
    @patroll330 ปีที่แล้ว

    Did you solve your problem? I believe a thermal heat tape in that area to make the ice never have a chance to start accumulating.

    • @putnutskitchen9342
      @putnutskitchen9342  ปีที่แล้ว

      It did, but the frost issue in the return has to be dealt with from time to time.

      I replaced the defrost timer, and evaporator bi-metal switch working like new. I worked on refrigerators in heating and air cond. school. Ohm the heater it was good keeping my frig, in the lower 30s . Clean your condenser coils will help make it colder.
