I have a 06 frigidaire model GLRT83teke refrigerator/ freezer. It has been acting up for over a year where the freezer at somes times was not freezing. It was cold just not cold enough to freeze the ice cream etc. Now as of recent it is always doing this. The temp in the freezer ranges from 20-30 . Im not sure what could be wrong, any suggestions? Thank you

Hi Thank you for your response. I actually took that cover off yesterday. There was not much dust / dirt under there. I vacuumed it. The fan seems to be operating good. I'd like to add, The refrigerator always seemed to be at the correct temperature , the freezer is what seems to be not getting cold enough . Thanks

yes I checked that out this morning . And there was not that much snow on coil . When you say sealed system what do you mean? and can it be replaced? Thanks

frigidfreezer, I think you may be misunderstanding Gene or could be I am.

"Remove the rear panel in the freezer and check how the evaporator coils are covered with snow. It's less than 95%"

I think he was referring to the coverage of frost on the evaporator coils not the amount. If lets say you just see frost on the coils where the freon enters then this is an indication of a low freon condition.

The amount of frost can vary with relative humidity in the room, number of times the doors have been opened and when was the last defrost cycle.

Perhaps the following will help

Check out #20. The example pictures at the bottom of the page. Note that the first one does not work.

denman explained it right. I meant how much of the coils surface is covered with snow. The coils should be about 100% covered with thin snow after the refrigerator was running for a few hours with the freezer rear panel in place and the freezer door closed.
