It's not clogged full of ice behind the cover plate? That happens often - the defrost timer dies, and the evaporator packs solid with ice.
If that's not the case, then... does the fan rotate when the power is turned on? If not, suspect the (defrost timer) controller board. If it does, look for obstructions to airflow.
Had a similar problem a non-touchscreen 2205 model. The cooling radiator was clogged with dust. You can unplug the power cable, remove the back cover and clean the dust out. I removed the cooling fan and used a toothbrush and vacuum to gently remove the dust matt from blocking the radiator. Use q-tips to gently clean the fan blades as well. Reattach the fan and the computer no longer overheated. By the way, Dell designed the 2205 with not enough ventilation. After cleaning. the CPU idle temperature ran at 39C with the back cover attached and only 29C with the back cover removed. The air flow intake for the cooling fan is taking in warm air due to the Hard drive heat being captured by the back cover.
yes the cover needs to be in place to pull the air across the compressor.a piece of cardboard will work great,just cut it about 7in shorter than the width of the ref and place it to the left or right to get the air fow coming across most openings r in ffront of the compressor.just try
You need to check the back of the freezer for frost build up... most of the time when that happens you have a defrost problem or your fan is not working or its blocked, check that by taking off the back panel in your freezer.... should see several screws behind the selves.
Refrigerator or freezer is not cold enough check this part:
*
Check the temperature setting * Assure that there is enough
room for air flow in the refrigerator or freezer * Check for air
flow restrictions in vents * Test the temperature control *
Clean the condensor coils * Check the door seals * Test
the door switch * Test defrost heater * Test defrost timer
* Test evaporator fan * Check for a clogged drain tube
* Check for refrigerant leak
As a start, try cleaning the coils and fan under the refrigerator.
You would not believe how many refrigerators and freezers I've worked on which required nothing but a good coil cleaning. The dirtier these coils get, the less efficient the unit becomes until it reaches a point that it almost appears as if the refrigerant unit is not working at all when all it really needs is a good cleaning.
While you're under there, be sure the fan is running to pull air over the coils to cool and condense the freon inside them.
indicates gas pressure and condenser cooling problems
check the condenser fan is working properly and have the gas pressures checked by gauges
check that the evaporator fins are clean and not blocked as ice build up will cause the same indications
make sure the coils are clean run unit a bout 20 min take cover off and feel the lines on the compressor the big one should be cold and small hot feel top of compressor to make sure running
if big line not cold most likley freeon has leaked out if compressor not running low psi may have unit out look at the compacitor if swelled up bad hope this helps
