Hey there ..
We have this Domestic fridge . It is a dual hinged Sharp Fresco and the freezer compartment below pulls out as a drawer . Its a great unit .
Thing is its staying on all the time now and not cycling into defrost mode at all . This means the unit gets real cold and the temp of the fridge unit gets quite low (near freezing) and then after 7 days or so days the cooling tapers off and the fridge compartment begins to warm up .
Taking the shelving and other stuff off the insides reveals that the radiator grill is well frozen over . We generally pour water over the ice and then the unit goes back to its 100% cooling cycle again .
Looking to replace an electrical part but simply dont yet know which part to replace .. :)
There is a heater unit below the radiator plates that is never working when we strip the unit to manually defrost the ice , but it looks in excellent condition .
Any advice for finding the faulty electrical part ?
Cheers

p.s. there is a suspicious rusty component behind the fridge panel .. photo attached . - could this be the part for replacement ?
