Not cooling enough, I can hear the freezer fan and lower fan running. The lower coils were dirty and I cleaned them with brush but need to really take the water hose after them. It is in my garage and I am in Texas. Freezer temp is 22 and fridge is 55. Any suggestions? Thanks Michael

I haven't looked at the coil yet but I thought I would leave the temp probes in overnight and see what it should when the garage cooled down. This morning the freezer was a 2 and the fridge was at 50. Could I have a door problem from the fan in the freezer not getting enough air to the fridge? Thanks Michael

The way it looks I would suspect the defrost thermostat, which shows to be no longer available.

Well this has been running good, The only defrost thermostat I could find was used but now its freezing up. I would suspect the part has failed again. Could wiring in a adjustable defrost timer and trying to find the sweet spot work to keep it going? Thanks Michael
