Mend Kenmore 106.72104107 Defrost Refrigerator Temperature

Kenmore Coldspot Model #106-72104107?

The freezer is not self defrosting and getting iced up completely. Meanwhile, the refrigerator is not cold/loosing tempurature. I have defrosted the entire unit and plugged back in. It works for few days and then it happens again.

I have the same problem. I defrosted the coils by unplugging the refrigerator and poring hot/warm water into the coils. You have to remove the inside rear panel on the back wall of the freezer side. Catch the water with a sponge under the coils to avoid overfilling the pan underneath the refrigerator. This will buy you another week of normal operation until if freezes again.
What a piece of junk. No more Kenmores after this for me, mine is only 4 years old. I am still trying to figure out what is causing it no to defrost.

My problem turned out to be the clip on thermostat!

The defrost heater element or the wiring of the element are at fault.
