I had this happen to our fairly new Frigidaire. Element tested
ok, timer motor worked. It turns out a mouse? chewed through the
wire between timer motor and element. 6 or 8 wires in the bundle,
only chewed through the one.

Too bad the timer didn't activate the wire while he was chewing.

m...
my self-defrosting (Fridgedair - upright and side by side)
fridge is freezing up on a weekly cycle. If i defrost the
**cooling coils** in the freezer manually on Monday the coils
are
frozen/frosted up by the following Monday... essentially
blocking
the cold air from going to the refridgerator side.

When i manually defrosted i measured the resistance of the
heater
element going around the cooling coils at 19.2 Ohms ?

What could be possible conditions to cause such a problem ?

what sort of components or actions should i be doing to repair ?

helpful advice greatly appreciated.
