Default 12 cu ft frost free fridge not cooling properly

Well, this is what my evaporator looks like after about 48 hours of
continuous operation with no defrost cycles. I skipped over the defrost
cycles by manually advancing the defrost timer on the fridge.

The evaporator coil has a total of 40 loops; 20 in the front half and 20
in the rear half. There's frost formed on the first 7 coils, and the
rest are bare.

Me thinks it's time for a new fridge.




That's pretty conclusive low refrigerant. I'm sad to
see a refrig scrapped, "only" because of low charge.
