The rental condo has a AMANA refrigerator and the evaporator coils are frozen solid.
So, that means that the defrost heating isn't working.
How to fix that?:confused:
Thank you!

In order to provide most accurate advise we need the complete model number of the fridge.

I checked the heater element and got about 29 (on a cheap multimeter set to the K(ohm) setting) As for the bi-metal thermostat, I got a resistance of about 230. (although there is an orange wire going thrrough a hole to the back of the refrigerator. I think that simply ends at a tester connection, but maybe it goes to something else) Thanks, Calcio (Amana side by side refrigerator - Model # SXD26VW)
