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.

- If none of the above, then somebody's standing there with the door open, "browsing".
- You need to defrost the fridge periodically, the way we used to have to do it from the 1940s through 1960s before "frost free" (actually periodically hidden defrosting) refrigerators became the norm for residential sales.
Actually, more recently, since most "dorm" and "bar" fridges are not self defrosting, nor was the Eastern European refrigerator supplied with my $4500 per month luxury apartment in Beijing, at the beginning of the 21st century.
You've gotten to accustomed to a luxury. Defrost your fridge when it frosts up, takes no more than a couple hours. Mr Steve wrote:
When mine started to frost up I tested the door seals with a $1 bill and found an area that it slipped through very easily. To close the gap I removed the black door latch and ground about .060 of the bottom of the latch and re installed. It was a lot easier and cheaper than replacing the seals.
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?
