Frost free refrigerators have a small electrical heating element which is
switched on periodically to melt ice in the evaporator, the part that gets
cold. These are usually made up of a timer (mechanical or electronic) which
turns on the heater, the heater itself, and a thermal switch which opens
when the evaporator reaches a certain temperature deemed to indicate
"defrosted". Any one of these can fail, I've had all 3 fail in different
refrigerators. Pretty easy to test/repair. Here's some info:http://www.appliance411.com/faq/howdefrostworks.shtml
