Model: WRF757SDEM00 4 months of use (got it from re-store still wrapped and crated, but obviously no warranty) Ice maker quit working on own. Can eject ice with test 57, run water with test 45, and repeat to make more ice. Test 56 gives E2 Several days later noticed temp of fridge rising. Condensation forming around lip of ice bucket. Then looked at bottoms of fridge and found major build up on what I believe is the evaporator. I am not wise enough to know if it is one problem or two different problems. Appreciate any advice.

Hi, Your refrigerator has two evaporator units, one in each compartment, fridge and freezer What compartment is the temp rising, fridge or freezer? Which compartment is the ice forming in? If both problems are in the fridge section there may be a problem with the auto defrost. Auto defrost should occur once every 6-12 hours (depends on manufacturer) so there should never be a major build up of ice over the evap unit. Check if the evap fan has also been iced over and is stopped. Ice build up over the evap unit can be caused by the following (no set order) faulty defrost heater faulty defrost thermostat (or thermistor) blocked drain pipe from below the evap unit to the evap pan under the compartments near the compressor faulty control board Here’s a link to the parts for the refrigerator (scroll down below “All parts” to find the parts diagrams which help to locate the parts)

I don’t have ice buildup is there a certain temp freezer and refrigerator should be on for ice maker to work?
