Hello!
Thank's for all of your good answers guys.
I have a question about my refrigerator.In the beggining there was a water under it,later when I checked up everything I noticed that the pipes coming out of the compresor are frozen,there is a frost inside in the cooler section too on the walls.The refrigerator is working with no brake I haven't heard it to stop lately.I'm upset other than that it keeps all of the things cold.Should I worry?
Please help me....
Thank you in advance.

wofo it sounds like your defrost heater has failed
that can cause a lot of frost buildup and eventually cause the frig to stop cooling properly.If that aint it then the defrost timer may be shot or what we call a terminator thermostat wired in series with the heater to keep it from overheating in the box. one of these 3 things is most likely the problem, I like to replace all 3 and get those kinda problems out of the way.

There is a plastic pipe that runs into a tray under the back of the fridge. When the compressor.big black motor underneath, stops running this allows the fridge to defrost. Water runs down the pipe into the tray. Compressor starts again and gets very hot then this eveporates the water. Water on floor could mean that tray is full but your biggest problem is that it sounds as though it is not turning off. That is why you have the backup of frost. This will cost a bit on your electic and eventually the compressor will burn out. Have you had it long see the quarantee or if second hand nothin you can do. Only one hing check you havnt got the thermostat to high. This is a dial inside which usually shows numbers turn it down to a lower setting and see if this helps. But monitor as your food inside will defrost if off to long

The water and frost are products of condensation.
Frost in the evaporator section is normal, elsewhere in the cooled section, (not the freezer), it is not.
A sound refrigerator should 'cycle`, (turn on for a while, then rest for a while).
There is something wrong if it runs constantly.
Since you're getting that much frost, I'm guessing that the thermostat has failed in the "on" position, or the control wiring is shorted.
DIY repair is not reccommended, most fridges that I know use line voltage for control, and the thermostat is a replacement item anyway.

that's maximum probable the fan motor that blows air from the freezer element to the frig. element. The bearings are approximately long gone. whether that's a ninety 5 type, it has outlived its lifestyles span. average lifestyles is now 8 to ten years. in case you are available in, you are able to replace the fan motor for around $40 in areas. provider call would be $200. As for a clean frig, you will get a proper freezer type with icemaker interior the $500 selection. element via element interior the $900 selection in case you shop properly. start up at Lowe's or H H Gregg.

you should have your refridgerator checked out by an appliance service technician. your fridge should be cycling on and off and not be running constantly
