Strange behavior after defrosting freezer
I have a Kenmore 14 cu ft upright freezer, model 253.28459807, from 2010. For several years the temp would rise to 16F because the coils iced up. Icing was uniform top to bottom, left to right. I would then have to defrost the coils with a hair dryer about twice a year and after that it would work fine. This time, after I defrosted the coils, it only went down to 32F. It slowly rose to 39F over a few days and I thought it was a goner – sealed system problem. Then all of a sudden the temp started to go down, it paused at around 10F for half a day, and then reached 0F where it has stayed for almost a week now. I’d like to understand what was wrong.
