Came back from a 10 day vacation and noticed the Freezer temp was in the 20’s/fridge 50’s (should be 0F and 37F). Before I left for vacation I turned off the water to the house and put the AC on 75, could doing either of these caused this or just a coincidence? I ask because I’m going out of town again in a two weeks.[br]

I’m guessing this is the issue? The evaporator is totally frozen solid.

Any help on what I should try first to fix this? I read it could be the defrost heater, defrost thermostat, or defrost control. Should I buy all 3 or rule them out 1 by 1? Or just hire someone? Honestly don’t want to deal with this if it will only cost a couple hundred bucks to fix.
