Freezer does not freeze food. Has been getting progressively worse over time. Everything seems to be working fine, except that the top most coil tube in the freezer, behind the panel, & the switch (defrost thermostat ?) clipped onto the tube build up quite a bit of frost. Could the switch be bad, and could this cause the low cooling in both the fridge & freezer ?
