BTW, did you find out what was happening to your fridge? The defrost system must have a problem!

Help Support :
It's possible your defrost timer has stopped working, causing the evaporator to ice up which then reduces air flow and the ability of the whole system to cool effectively.
It's a fairly easy job to replace. I had to do this on my 1968 Frigidaire frost proof.

It could be the defrost timer or the heater itself. The timer can be manually cycled on for a few minutes to see if the defrost works... If it stopped advancing, you need to cycle it back to the normal mode after about 1/2 an hour so it refrigerates again. If the ice has not melted, it's likely the heater that's the problem.
The defrost heater/cycle seems to be the weak link in these units. There's at least one extensive thread on the repair process that I recall following here.
you're going to part out a top mount turquoise 'fridge? Do it work?
