Repair & Advice
Freezer temperature continued to increase and performed trouble shooting when temperature exceeded 20 degrees F. Removed the back panel of the inside on the freezer which exposed the freezer coils. The coils were completely covered with ice. After removing ice, I confirmed defroster heater resistance measurement to be within specification. I replace the back panel and freezer worked properly for a couple of months but with a slowly increasing temperature. I ordered DA32-00070M temperature Sensor and following disassembly and ice removal I replaced the temperature sensor. It has been several months and the freezer maintains the set temperature. Replacement of the sensor is easy - melting the ice makes the job frustrating and time consuming.
