Default 12 cu ft frost free fridge not cooling properly

Your free to satisfy your curiosity, but I don't see anything
probative to be gained by seeing the coils. You know the compressor
is running continuously, the internal fan is running and air is
coming out. You can feel or measure the temperature of the air coming out.

I don't think it's physically possible for that condition to
exist, without something being wrong with the refrigeration system
and the coils not getting cold. The only possible way might be for
the defrost heater to be stuck on, but you have access to it's wiring
and could disable it. If anyone has seen a fridge with the conditions
you have, where the coils were actually getting cold, I'd like to hear
what it was.......


Based on the symptoms reported, I concur. Sure seems
a shame to scrap an otherwise good refrig because it
needs a couple ounces of refrigerant.

If the tire on your car was soft, would you remove
and discard the tire, rim, valve stem, etc?
