The Problem

The customer reported their French door refrigerator was frosting up in the freezer and not cooling well in the fridge. These symptoms typically indicate problems with the defrost system or cooling components.

Diagnosis

Testing revealed a failed defrost thermostat causing the frost buildup and a bad capacitor on the air conditioner compressor affecting overall cooling performance. Both components needed replacement to restore proper operation.
