Put the rear cover and the back panel in the freezer back in place and do not touch anything for at least 24 hrs. Then check the evaporator coil and post your findings. Gene.

Also, put a thermometer near the back wall of the freezer. Temperature should be between zero and ten degrees. If not you have system problems or a defrost problem.

Also possible damage to the compressor. The cost of repair could be somewhere between $350 to $750 and it has to be done by a certified technician. Your decision should be based on the condition of the fridge. Gene.
