Need some help from the professionals here...
I built a keezer from a Kenmore 8.8 ft3 (16949) about 3 years ago. Uses the STC controller and everything has worked fine up until about a week ago. I noticed that the cooling cycle seemed to be on longer than normal. Looking inside the freezer, I notice ice build up inside the top edge of the freezer about 2 to 3 inches down from the top. Now the freezer is on full time and will only get down to 44F (setting is 35F).
The only thing I have tried is to unplug everything, let it sit overnight and plug it back in. No changes.
I've moved the temp sensor around but that makes no significant difference.
Anything else I can check?
Looks like Sears doesn't sell this model anymore (maybe this is why) so if I replace the freezer, I'll have to rebuild collar and all.
Thanks in advance for the assistance.
