Hello there..I am not an appliance repair tech but I am trying to help my babysitter. She does not make a bunch of money and her freezer on her freezer/fridge combo is not freezing.
Obviously the line is frozen up. I think what I am looking at is the defrost thermostat. It appears the tape has melted on the switch. I would guess the thermostat is either faulty or the unit is low on freon. It is a Frigidaire FFTR1814QB4A. I was just going to order a defrost switch if it wasn't too much money and a piercing valve just to have it. I would think if the unit did have a faulty switch there would be more of the coil frozen then just the line? I'm thinking maybe it's just low on freon?
I realize I can test the switch, but I would like to have everything I can have in advance since the unit is not cooling..I don't want to take all her stuff out and let it get warm them not be able to cool it back down..thanks for any help.
