sounds like the evaporator fan motor is already hitting the ice built up behind the cover if you are a handy man all it takes is to remove a couple of screws to see what is behind the cover...good luck

go to appliance pros.com they will show a diagram of your model

You are having an automatic defrost problem. there are 3 components in that system and it could be any one of the 3 . There the timer (most common) heater, and the bi metal terminator the heater and bi metal can be tested with an ohm meter and the timer if mechanical can be rotated into a defrost

can i ask why you did this with a hose ?? they are fresher tight not water tight. any water getting it to the electrics can and will damage it. you have probably blown the control board and damaged the fans. electrics are on the inside were water should not be able to get to but you have got ti there.

Have a look inside fridge compartment (especially the "roof", if it's a top-mount freezer) & see if you can see any ice build-up (look inside vents that allow cold air into fridge from freezer section. Also, if top-mount freezer, look inside the freezer compartment for ice build-up on "floor", inside vents, or on back wall. These symptoms, combined with water dripping from lots of the "roof" of fridge section (in a top-mount freezer model), can mean several different problems, so best to re-post with more info/symptoms included.If there's no ice build-up (& the dividing area between fridge & freezer sections isn't particularly cold, which otherwise might indicate hidden ice build-up), it can be as simple as a plugged or obstructed drain tube, which is VERY COMMON. Easiest solution for this latter problem is to use a flexible plastic tube (think similar type as attached to aquarium air pumps), stuff it into drain hole, and blow on the other end. Sometimes you have to blow quite hard to clear an obstruction or complete blockage. If you can't clear the drain tube, it's likely a different problem. Again, a re-post with more info/symptoms will help narrow it down.

best left to a refrigerator mechanic as it uses only a small amount and works off pressure to say when it is full.

Hello,
