just a thought....
try unplugging it and completely defrosting it and draining it......
if it does not have a defrost cycle, the ice may have built up enough to
scramble its sensors.. if it DOES have a defrost cycle the computer may have
lost its mind and think it needs to "defrost" constantly.
i am sorry for all the mess.... my life has been like that.
