It’s not my ice maker. My ice maker and freezer are working fine. My refrigerator isn’t cooling. This is the video i’ve watched, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCZXxSW1GT0.

I just sent an email showing the panel removed from inside the fridge. You can see what is frozen up.

Sorry, you called the evaporator assembly the condenser. Yes , if its frozen you have a defrost issue. You could have a directive defrost heater, you can do a continuity test on the heater to see if its open defective or closed good. You can also go to page #58 in the service manual link and run it through the test defrost mode. That will give you error codes to determine what part of the defrost system is defective so you can replace it.

How do I perform a “continuity test” on the heater? What is “open defective”or “closed good?”

I don’t have an Ohms meter to test the heater. However, I plugged everything back in and plugged the fridge back in for about 15 minutes. That heater is ice cold. It never heated back up. It also looks like it is starting to re-freeze again. So, can I assume the heater is not working?

I would for $10 order a $9.00 meter on Amazon or go to your local hardware store and get one to be sure . Here is a link on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Etekcity-Multimeter-MSR-R500-Electronic-Multimeters/dp/B01N9QW620/ref=sr_1_4_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=ohm+meter&qid=1601570498&sr=8-4-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyNTBFVDI3TzI0VkZQJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMzQyNTY1MUw1U1ZSOEMwTUtEUSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMTc4MzUzMTBBWERSUkpFNlpIUiZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

Thanks, just checked with my neighbor. He’s got a meter. I will let you know the reading soon.

I got the meter. I’m not sure I’m checking the correct part on the heater. The male plug only has 1 wire in the back that plugs into the fridge. Do I place both meter sticks in that one plug? I’m a novice for sure. Thanks,
-
I just sent an email showing how i have the meter set up. I watched a video and I think it’s correct. I sent to the email to service@appliancevideo.com. Subject is: User Name: Jbeaver77. I really need to be able to upload pics for you.

Yoohoo!!!!! Anyone Home!!!!

Hello, I received the pics. You need to unplug the heater and do the continuity test. You may get a feedback resistance with it plugged in for a false reading. Unplug both sides and isolate the heater, then check the heater.

Hello, from your last pic it looks like you may have a starved evaporator. You may have a leak in the system not a defrost issue. The bottom half of the evaporator has no frost at all. It should have a light layer of frost and the lower half of the coil should be -5 degrees or colder. If its not you have a sealed system issue.
