Frost or Ice Buildup in Refrigerator or Freezer
Modern frost-free refrigerators shouldn't develop ice buildup. When they do, it indicates a problem with the defrost system or air circulation.
Common Causes
The heater that melts frost during defrost cycles has failed.
The timer doesn't initiate defrost cycles properly.
The thermostat doesn't sense when defrost is needed.
Warm, humid air entering creates excess frost.
Frequently or partially open doors introduce humidity.
Overpacking prevents proper airflow.
