Did you take this picture before or after repair?

In regards of the problem with the drain from the freezer try to blow some air through the drain line after you defrosted it. Make sure the other end of the drain hose (on the back of the refrigerator) is clean as well.
Gene. I have changed the settings and will post results tomorrow. What is the exact method of blowing air through the drain line? Is the drain hose on the back the vertical plastic tube?

Hi all,
I think I having the same problem as this thread:
Frigidaire Gallery: LGUI1849LF2
Less than a year old
Freezer on top, refrigerator on bottom
Perviously the freezer had frost everywhere and the refrigerator was really warm. So I thought I packed the freezer too much. I put all the food out and manually defrosted the unit for a day. I put all the food back in, turned the fridge back on and everything worked fine for a few weeks.
But recently frost has been building up on the back panel of the freezer again, and the ice cream is frozen solid. The refrigerator section seems ok for now though, but I think eventually I'm going to have the same problem as before.
I tried trouble shooting with the instructions on the first page:
Using a flat screwdriver, slowly turn the shaft in the middle of the defrost timer clock wise until it clicks to switch from the cooling cycle to the defrost cycle.
But looking at the diagram, how do I access the defrost control to test the defrost cycle? Do I have to remove any covering to access it?
Thanks in advance.

Is your refrigerator less than a year old?
If this is correct, don't do anything and call Frigidaire for service. Otherwise it can void the warranty.

Gene, I'm picking up the replacement defrost heater tomorrow (fortunately I bought a lifetime warranty, when I replaced the heater 5 years ago) There is now a 2 tube heater available for my model. In your experience, is this a better option vs the single tube ? I've now replaced the heater twice in 9 years.

Yes, the double tube kit is much better. It provides better defrost for shorter time.
Gene.
