I think the refrigerator is a 19.7 cubic foot, and the bottom freezer drawer pulls out. I have looked every where for the model number and am unable to fine it, because someone removed the tag inside the fridge. I'm trying to sell it so I can get a side by side, but without the model number, the guy isn't interested. HELP!

remove back cover on evaporator inside frezeer if is full of ice all over then you have a defrost problem and you might have a faulty defrost timer or defrost thermostat repl both so you wont go wrong if the coils are clean and not frost is on coils then check compressor to see if its running just by touching you can find out if it si not running then you have a faulty relay or overload repl and compressor should start.if there is only partial frost then you have a leak or restriction depending when you bought it most refrigerators have a maufactures warranty on compressor for about 5 years call for service on the number on the sticker inside refirgerator

The freezer will stay cold because a small
amount of cold air will be forced through the frost but that will not
be enough to make it up to the refrigerator portion. You can defrost
the unit by removing the metal panel and allowing the frost to melt.
Careful use of a hairdryer can speed up this process. This will likely
be a temporary fix. The root cause of excessive frost can be caused by
a bad door seal or a defective defrost circuit.
First check that the door seal is good by closing the door on a dollar
bill at several points around the door, both on the freezer and
refidgerator door. If you can pull the bill out with no resistance, the
door is not making a good seal. Inspect the seal and make sure there
isn't anything stopping the door from closing such as food, or a shelf
not pushed in all the way.
If the door seal is good, the defrost system is likely defective. The
defrost system has three main parts, the defrost heater, thermostat,
and timer. None of these parts are particularly expensive, or difficult to replace you feel comfortable with repairing it yourself. If you can troubleshoot this by manually
starting the defrost cycle. Let me know if you would like this
procedure.

Good to see you put your model number down correctly. Do the lights come on inside when you open door? I noticed your refrigerator has a control board inside the fresh food section behind the control panel I want you to unplug the refrigerator and examine that board for burn marks or loose solder connections on both Sides. Then let me know what you find. Thanks, Sea breeze My email is [email protected] Web Site http://servicepartstec.blogspot.com/ Part Number for Control board is 8201528
