Dear Check for the compressor running or if the compressor is running then check for fan as due to excess ice there may be some damage.
If these are not the reason the reply me back

Hi, is your machine frost free??? if so how long did you defrost it for?? i would recomend two days with the door open. This is because if it is frost free it works on an air flow and if there is ice still in the system it stops the air flow.

Re: fridge/freezer not cooling
my fridge has no fans & its completly defrosted the condensor coil is on the back outside wall and is of convection type when the comp is running i can hear liquid or gas flowing im wondering if its not going to full speed ie run windings or circuit?

Re: fridge/freezer not cooling
Dear Wilt,
Because of the excess frosting on the eva., the load on ref is increase hence there is a possiblity of High pressure joint leak. Check for leakage as it will lead to no cooling.
thanks
