Hello,
In order to activate the procedure: Press and release the fresh food door switch 5 times within 6 seconds. In order to deactivate it repeat the same action or just unplug the refrigerator for a few seconds.
What seems to be a problem with the refrigerator?

Thanks for your information. I'll give it a try. My refrigerator is having the constant clicking noise from the top-left side of refrigerator before evaporator fan finally runs. I think the Adaptive Defrost Control unit is bad and ordered a brand new one (Part #: 5303918476). The clicking problem is solved but I found out the freezer is having severe frosting problem. I checked the evap heater with ohmmeter and found out it's ok. I don't know if it's caused by my old and defective ADC II or by defrost thermostat. I know the new ADC IV is good. If I can force the refrigerator into defrost mode and defrosting does not happen. I would know the thermostat is bad. Please let me know if my logic is right. Thanks. [Update] Yeah. The procedure you provided works. Thanks again. Originally Posted by: Gene  Hello,

Yes. It did. After defrost cycle is finished, the normal working mode is restored automatically. Can I assume the defrost thermostat is good?

Yes, the defrost thermostat should be good. If it will happen again, replace the adaptive defrost control board. - The ADC board Part number: 5303918476

I know this an old thread, but was wondering if anyone can lead me in the right direction. I have a Kenmore Elite 795.78763.800 refrigerator. It has worked flawlessly up until about 2 weeks ago. One day we noticed a small pool of water under it. Also, we noticed a little before the day of the pooling that the fan (that circulates the cold air inside the unit was running constantly. I unplugged the for about 20 minutes and restarted it, and that seemed to work. After this procedure, I noticed that it was not running constantly. However, just 2 days ago, we had a power outage while we were away during the day. This afternoon we again found water pooled under the unit. Also, in opening the freezer section, I noticed ice that had pooled on the floor of the freezer compartment. water seemed to have entered the compartment from the back wall where the cold air blows into this compartment.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
What are the temperatures in the freezer and refrigerator?
Your refrigerator is operated by electronic controls and has self-diagnosis futures. Did it show any error code on the dispenser display?
Thank you,
Gene.
