Ice building up in freezer

John
It looks like you are getting frost/ice build up in the air vents( freezer is what cools your refrigerator side. If the ice blocks the flow up no air can travel to the other side). You removed the blockage by defrosting it but it will probably come back if the door does not seal properly. The only moisture you can introduce to the freezer is from outside...

Hope that helps

Cheers

check defrost element, if good check defrost thermostat, if good change defrot timer/control board depending on your specific model you can look at this link provided its a diff model but none the less quite similar
am searching for Main PBA for fridge freezer model no SRL 629EV The number...

Your problem is more than likely a defrost issue. There is ice building up in the freezer coils and when it gets blocked with ice the cold air cant blow into the fresh food section. When you shut it off the ice melts and it gets cold again for a few days. remove the freezer back panel and check the defrost heater and defrost thermostat. if they check OK then check the defrost timer. It is best to replace all three components at the same time. This way you will be starting out with new components rather than one failing then the other.

OK, you will need to replace the "defrost thermostat" that is located on the coils in the freezer. Here is the part to order. If that was the problem before, the repair tech sold you a part you didn't need. I can't stand service techs that do that! Anyways, keep me posted.

Did the technician check the defroster assembly to make sure that the refrigerator is defrosting?

It sounds like you have an ice build up in the freezer section (sometimes it is behind the shell and you can't see it). I would suggest you take the food out of your freezer section (use a lot of blue ice packs to chill down refrigerator side. And then open up the inner shields on the freezer side to see if you have an ice build up. If you do, then defrost the unit with a hair dryer, order the defrost assembly using the refrigerator specs on your refrigerator, then plug it back in and wait for the part to arrive.

If it is the defroster assembly the refrigerator will work fine for 2-3 weeks, which should give you plenty of time to receive the part. LABEL all wires, before you start disassembly!

Sounds like the source of your refrigerator freezer temperature problem is due to a faulty evaporator fan motor. This fan circulates the air from the freezer to the refrigerator and back to the freezer. When it fails, temps are warm at the top, cold at the bottom, so the ice melts, and the water tank inside the fridge, near the bottom, freezes. I looked up your model #, but it shows no results so i cannot give you a part number.
Also, its possible if you have a control board microcomputer, its bad as well. Some model GE refrigerators the fan burns out part of the computer, necessitating replacing both.

ice mker will soon quit as when ice cream is soft the tempt is rising . look for frost build up in back wall of freezer . if so the heaters have failed ( very common ) . they will have to be replaced . there is a new style that replaces mose G E heaters . and they are much better .. mm

You may need to replace the automatic defrost sensor.

Good day,
That's too long a period, for a normal. defrost system failure.
You'll have to wait until it quits, then remove the rear panel and look for ice (not frost) building up somewhere in the freezer compartment.
I have solved similar problems on this model, by replacing the defrost thermostat with a GE 60 degree thermostat, and a WR9X330 GE 6 hour defrost timer to get this model to defrost completely.

It's also possible that the refrigerant charge is slightly low, causing the defrost thermostat not to reach a cold enough temperature to perform a good defrost cycle. (building ice over a long period of time).

Make sure Freon 12 was used when replacing the compressor.
Some substitutes caused the evaporator coil to act as if it was
slightly low on charge.

Defrost cycle not functioning. Could be defrost timer, timer motor, or defrost heater. I detailed this for someone else. see other solutions.
