I have a 14 year old whirlpool R/F with freezer on top. When in the defrost cycle the freezer temp goes up in excess of 20 degrees F. When in freezer cycle it will only get down to about 15 degrees. I replaced the defrost timer and checked the temp controller plus everything else that the forums say to do.
When in the defrost cycle does the evaporator and condensor shut down.. What allows the freezer to get so warm during defrost and not cold enough during the freeze cycle. I previously defrosted the unit prior to replacing the timer, since initially it was not defrosting. Would the defrost thermostat cause this condition :confused:
Anything else to check
