Refrigerator Turning into an Ice Cube?

If your refrigerator is starting to build up ice in the freezer or the fridge section of the fridge you should take a few steps yourself before calling for service.

First check whether or not anyone left the door open for an extended period of time or if the door seals are loose.  Leaving the door open will allow extra moisture to enter the fridge and then the compressor will kick into overdrive to try and cool the area down quickly.  This can easily result in a lot of ice forming inside.

Second before you call for a repairman defrost the fridge.  You will need to leave it off for a full 24 hours to make sure that all of the ice melts before running it again.  After it is up and running again give it about another day of solid running before calling for help.
