French style refrigerator. Developing frost in freezer

Remove food use dials to turn freezer off.Clean freezer with hot water. Remove grill on front bottom and empty drain pan. If pan is full check your seals by pulling a dollar bill through the edge. If you have a gap clean seal with soapy water and a soft brush (dish brush) dry and check the seal again. If it is still very easy to pull the bill through apply a small amount of silicone grease from the plumbing section of the hardware store. You will save on electricity doing this and more if you pull the frigdge out and vaccuun the coils with a brush attachment for your vaccum. Don't forget to set the tempature dials to midway to turn the frige back on. Adjust after a few hours one od the dials could have been bumped to a very cold setting. If it freezes up again with the ice in a few days have a tech look at it because the defrost timer or defrost heater are bad.

Lets go over the way a sealed system works. There is a highj side and a low side. The low side is the side that passes through the evaporator coils inside the machine. Most times on the freezer side only, but sub zero has independent sealed systems for each side. Once it goes throug the evaporator its then condensed into a liquid state, the high side. This is also the hot side. Well, lower pressures in the low side would logically mean lower temperatures. So for the refridgerator not to freeze more freon is used on it to keep the low side pressure higher than normal, giving the cooling effect verses freezing. So, and here is the bad part, if you are seeing ice build up in the refridgerator side you have a freon leak some where allowing the pressure to be less than required to keep it above freezing. Call a service technician and depending on how the model, sub zero warranty is parts and labor covered for the first 6, and only parts from the 6-12 year.

Hey friend, I appreciate your post! Based off the information you have provided your Frigidaire refrigerator is developing frost. I have identified that a few possibilities could be an issue with a water leak or air leak. You could perform the dollar bill test to assure that the gasket is secure around the appliance. Place the bill between the body of the freezer and close the door. Pull the dollar out, if it sticks the seal is good, but if the bill comes out easily the gasket needs to be changed. If the gasket appears to be in good condition I would recommend having a professional come out to diagnose and repair the refrigerator. -Matt
