FRIG coils freezing up?
My wife and I have been on the road over a month, our longest trip. I noticed the refrig rear coils are freezing up , pretty bad on one side. Is there something I can do? What may cause this? Any help appreciated , thank you.

- warm air geting in, warm /cold = water , your door gasket is leaking, when traveling we put a bungee cord across the door ,things get realy cold in there.
- You mean the outside coils?
- If the inside coils, normal operation is to have some ice on the coils. If you are getting a lot, you need to inspect the door gasket.
Ken - IF you are talking about the fins in the food section compartment.....
Freezing from right to left?
What is thermostat setting?
If you don't have an adjustable thermostat control (upper panel) then is 'thermistor' still attached to clip on fin?
Warm air can also enter via drip pan drain hose.
Around door gaskets
AND if opening/closing door frequently (or shelf shopping//grazing) warm air rushes in....especially in humid weather. - If that is on the inside frige compartment, I solved all those issues by installing a 12V computer fan in there.
- X2 on the fridge fan

Freezing from right to left? YES, why would it always be left to right??

If you don't have an adjustable thermostat control (upper panel) then is 'thermistor' still attached to clip on fin? Have adjustable settings..on 7

Was considering getting seals looked at. Thank you for any more info..- So I guess we are talking about the fins, not the coils...?

Freezing from right to left..cause right side is coolest due to ammonia/hydrogen mix as it flows to the left
Thermostat setting on 7.....try going down to 6 and check temps after 24 hrs.
Thermister in clip on right fin---mid position?
Door gaskets.....paper bill test.
Lay a bill over gasket in different areas and close door then pull bill out.......should be resistance otherwise gaskets are not sealing and allowing warm air into fridge (test freezer and food section compartments.
If gaskets are not sealing.......
Place a ball of cotton under gasket in each corner.
Then warm gasket with hair dryer (takes a while....but get it as warm as you can overall/all around)
Then close door and let gasket cool. After resetting gasket remove cotton balls from corners.- I tried to get the seals reaplaced and found out that NORCOLD would not sell me seals, only a new door? Has anyone ever come up with a way to sel refrig without factory seals? any tricks?
