While the others are probably correct, you may need to check the fan in the
freezer area to make sure it is blowing.
That hapened to mine, but do not recall how long it took it to refreeze.

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.
