Glad the issue was diagnosed as a faulty thermistor and iced-over evaporator coils—classic signs of airflow problems between the freezer and fridge. Great that you’re getting it fixed affordably!
To help keep your fridge running smoothly going forward, here are a few tips:
* ***Clean condenser coils*** every 6–12 months to improve efficiency.
* ***Avoid overpacking*** the fridge or freezer—air needs space to circulate.
* ***Check door seals*** regularly to make sure they’re airtight.
* ***Don’t block air vents*** inside the fridge and freezer compartments.
* ***Set correct temps***: around 37°F for the fridge, 0°F for the freezer.
* ***Defrost buildup early*** if you see excessive ice forming again.
A little maintenance can go a long way in avoiding future repairs.
