Hi there,

I noticed a few days ago that some stuff in the freezer were cold but not frozen. I remove the back freezer panel to see if the coils were at frosted over and noticed that only the incoming line and lower coil had any frost on it.

I checked the defrost heater for continuity and it's ok. I took a hair dryer and melted/dried the frosted coils. I put everything back together and when I checked the coils a day later I noticed the same frost pattern ( see attachment). The freezer is still cold but not freezing.

Is there anything else I can check for or should I be shopping for a new fridge.

Not that I can think of.

Unfortunately I think you hit the nail on the head also looks like a sealed system problem to me.
