Hi,
for the last few weeks, i have noticed that my unit fan was running all the time. After reading a number of online resources i have found that my evaporator is completely blocked with ice.
I used a hair dryer to defrost and was hoping the issue will be resolved. Unfortunately, it kept coming and every a week or two i had to defrost it.
finally got someone to look and was told to replace the door seal, which i did. After a couple weeks the issue came back or was still the same. 

I was told that the sensor might be damaged, or the board.


attached please find the pictures of before and after:

Please help.

Thank you

Manual Freezer Evaporator Defrost was incorporated into the electronic control to assist in servicing and diagnostics. To initiate manual freezer evaporator defrost, press and hold the ICE ON/OFF key for 5 seconds, then release the key. 

If the machine will manually defrost, but does not regulate defrost cycles automatically- it is the control board. (these control are pretty reliable!)

If the machine will not defrost manually- it is the heater or defrost terminator.

Thanks a lot Hitoshi.

i did the manual defrosting and it will not defrost. Is there a way to know whether it is the heater or terminator?

 

also is there a way to fix it or only replacement will work?

For some reasons my iPhone misspelled your name. Thank you Hiroshi

Yes, you can check them.  A mutli-meter continuity test on the "terminator" and an Ohm's resistance check on the heater element...
