[@appliancerepairshorts]

So it sounds like you have a stuck damper. The damper is wide open. When that happens it keeps the fridge too cold. . If you have pictures or videos send them so I can see the evaporator. You can put it in diagnostic and check the thermistors , fan and damper. I’ll check if I have a video. In the meantime check underneath the hinge cover for the technician sheet. Keep me posted

Just a quick question if air damper is bad , will this cause ice build up on evaporator ???

[@appliancerepairshorts]

So not exactly, but it could cause more moisture to accumulate since it is stuck open. How long does it take to ice up? Do you have any pictures? I would check your drain tube and make sure your seals are sealing. That Mullion make sure that it is not damaged

[@Gogia786]

Seals i think u talking about doors , those r really good intact no leaks from doors seal...if any other let me know...drain pipe is open ..i saw water in back in tray, .when i turn off Referigerator so ice can melt, that seems to me no blockage in drain i collect plenty of water with towel to soak the tray..after i gave it break ice to melt down from evaporator , i turn on it again after 12 hour break and now after 5 hours its running and temperature reach to 37 F , i will check tomorrow morning what is temperature !

@ so the refrigerator fresh food is 37, that is great. What is the temperature in the freezer?

[@Gogia786]

I just checked now in freezer its 0 degree, but i saw ice starting building up in fins of evaporator, also i heard growling noise from that area it was not this morning but now i heard, may b ice building up around fan , let me upload link of picture u can see.

Hi, Thank you for your video i have the same problem but the dran hole is not clogged i un clogged it and two weeks later the some problem what should i do now is there a heating element here ?

[@appliancerepairshorts]

No, not at all. First make sure the drain tube isn’t damaged. I have see so many. You have the angle. That is a seal, so if it is damaged above the angle, it will ice up. If that is good, check your door seals . You can also put it into diagnostic and see if you are getting an error. Keep me posted. Forgot to mention,no I don’t think it has a heater in the fresh food section. Whirlpool use diverter valve to defrost the fresh food. Make sure your fan isn’t installed incorrectly. I have a video on that

[@calivalley9056]

My same model is icing up in freezer, all the way up to the fan. Any ideas?

Hoping for a reply on the comment above

Don't they have a service bulletin for this issue

[@appliancerepairshorts]

Over the years, in the field you understand what the issues are . In fact the service bulletin is from techs in the field

[@freecheese4143]

Mouse was thirsty as heck!

[@appliancerepairshorts]

lol yep I agree

[@Customcarsny]

I was just wondering why you didn't clean the mold off of the plastic, being that you have a steam cleaner ?

[@appliancerepairshorts]

To be honest I didn’t want to disturb and breathe it in. The customer was able to take care of it
