I am not sure if it is a control problem or temperature sensor problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Lets hope someone gets back to us. Brad I was wondering if you tried that last suggestion on your post and if it helped your situation. I have not heard any responses to my post and am just buying ice for now since food in freezer is ok.

There was one time the coils were at 44, ice area 22 and thermistor at 6*. This must have been a defrost cycle. I will keep updated if any thing changes. Good luck , Brad
