I remember battling this. If I remember correctly it was the defrost mechanics such as the defrost thermostat, timer or heater.

But first, have you cleaned the coils in the back of the refrigerator for dust? Checked under the refrig for dust bunnies? Refrigerators need good air exchange to work properly.

Now the more likely problems:

The timer may not be allowing the defrost cycle to operate long enough. Replace the timer.

The thermostat may not be properly sensing when the ice has been melted. Replace the thermostat.

And of course the defrost heater itself may have failed.

You need to call an appliance repairman with his handy testing meters to know where the problem lies. These are not do it yourself repairs.

And at 13.5 years, it may be time to spring for one of those new super energy efficient refrigerators. YEAH!

It's frost-free, not ice-free! The ice coating on the walls would most likely be from high humidity. Any of several things could be causing this. A couple that come to mind are... Do you open it often, and keep it open while you rummage for things in it, or take your time stocking it? Do you put unwrapped or uncovered moisture-laden foods or liquids in it? -And a third one... It's possible there's a leak in the door gasket. Outside humidity could get in and ice up. The shut-down process that removes frost isn't strong enough to remove ice.

fireplace is the seen easy emitted by using the fast oxidation of a flamable cloth. Ice is H20 that has had its temperature decreased under 0 tiers C. So the fast (and snarky) answer is "neither." while the "massive Crunch" finally comes billions and billions of years from now, all the concern and power interior the universe will fall down right into a super black hollow. long earlier this adventure, the potential of all this coming jointly will strip all atoms of their electrons so as that there will be in fact an greater and greater greater dense compressed mass of 'unfastened' ions (protons and electrons) with a team of neutrons thrown into the mixture (in the event that they have not broken up into their undemanding sub-atomic debris by using then). Or, this could all be purely a pile of horsesh*t. This shouldn't rank any bigger than twelfth or thirteenth on your record of issues to rigidity approximately. that's occupied with now. Surf's up! Gotta pass delight in a sunny California coastline.

Well have u defrosted your freezer lately, if so. Could be a default in the freezer & I've seen this many time's age & the motor just stops working properly, it could be a lemon too. Try lowering the temperature a notch or 2. Mimi

you could have a couple of things going on and it could be something as simple as just not having a good seal around the door and it is letting moisture in and then freezing causing the ice the other thing i can think of is that it may be low on refrigerant and that again is a simple fix its just like getting your cars A/C recharged with freon but like a said its probably something simple so check the seal around the door

It sounds like one of your defrosters is not working. There is usually one at the top and the bottom , if it is a side by side.

Call a repairman.
