We bought our refrigerator new in our house and just recently the freezer started building up with frost along the back wall. I have looked in the owners manual but that isn't telling me much other then the refrigerator/freezer is supposed to be a auto-defrost model. I started by vacuuming the coils off and cleaning under the refrigerator as the book suggests but it really doesn't say anything else. It still seems as though the temperature is fine in both the refrigerator and freezer at this point. Any suggestions would be helpful as to what to do next ...

Thanks!

Perform the troubleshooting as described here: http://forum.appliancepartspros...frigerator-too-warm.html

The defrost timer in your fridge is located under the bottom front panel.

Post your findings and I will help you to find the part.

Good luck.
Gene.
