Gene. Kenmore 363.9537721 parts diagram shows Duct Air Return FF but I don't see one from either side. Is it behind some panel? All I see are Duct Mullion FF and Duct Mullion FRZ.

Using a flat screwdriver, slowly turn the shaft in the middle of the defrost timer clock wise until it clicks to switch from the cooling cycle to the defrost cycle. Gene. Kenmore 363.9537721. I don't find a Defrost Timer in the parts diagram. I do find a Defrost Thermostat.

Rank: Member Groups: Registered Joined: 10/30/2010(UTC) Posts: 4		I have a GE that is not cold in the fridge side, has frost build up inside on the rear freezer wall, so I thinking it's a defrost problem. When I look up the parts list I did not see a timer listed, my question is, is there like a system control board in these units that are common to go bad? Thanks, Joe

Did you see an excessive frost build up on the evaporator coils? Did you check the defrost thermostat for continuity? Gene.
