A customer in Bonita Springs, Florida contacted FixByWill after their GE refrigerator stopped cooling properly. Upon inspection, we found a heavy ice buildup on the evaporator coils — a clear sign of a defrost system failure.
The refrigerator was not entering the defrost cycle correctly, which caused frost to accumulate and block proper airflow. This issue can lead to inconsistent temperatures and spoiled food if not addressed quickly.
🔍 Diagnosis
After a full diagnostic, we identified a faulty defrost heating element. This component is responsible for melting frost off the evaporator coils during the defrost cycle.
When the heating element fails, ice builds up over time, preventing the refrigerator from cooling efficiently.
🔧 Repair
We replaced the defective heating element with a new OEM part. After installation, we tested the system to ensure the defrost cycle was working properly and that airflow was restored.
✅ Result
The refrigerator returned to normal operation with proper cooling and no more frost buildup.
