    Describe the system, temps and pressures etc.

    Would think a faulty tev, defrost heater or settings, dirty evaporator, shortage of refrigerant etc would be likely candidates too.

    Re: silly question

    sounds like evap starved of refrigerant.

    - gas charge
    - expansion valve
    - poor air flow
    I've seen this bottom half freezing many times. its usually the above. but u need to provide more info.
