Im in the midst of appliance meltdown. My oven failed and needed a control board, my freezer wont defrost which is causing me to defrost it with a blowdryer every week otherwise the fridge wont work and yesterday the dishwasher almost had catastrophic failure when the water inlet valve got stuck open. Now I need a new dishwasher, probably gonna get a Bosch 500 series, though I am considering a kitchen-aid.

Other than that wife is starting up a practice in Everett, but gotta figure out the website. I could do one myself but it wont look as great if we had a pro do it, the problem is finding a pro that will actually do SEO and make a good website. Its not like she actually needs much but a lot of the services out there are scam-my and offer you a whole lot of meh for 2k. KB did you end up doing DIY website for your wife? You are a polymath after-all.

Is it possible your freezer's refrigerant pressure is too low? I haven't been through that with a freezer, but a few years ago my AC froze up a couple times and we had to get someone out to re-fill the system.

Yes that’s possible, if true that would mean scrapping the entire system. This weekend I’m going to install a new thermal relay on the defrost coil and see if that’s the issue as testing it is a bit too complicated (I need to get it to 22f). If that doesn’t fix the problem then I’m going to toss the fridge because compressor replacement isn’t cost effective and it’s a sealed system so I don’t think you can just top it off
