Have a 9 year old Tappan Frig.Motor is working. Have cleaned all coils and motor. Do not smell an acid odor like I have a coolant leak. However, I have no cooling in frig or freezing in freezer. Is it possible that the defrost timer may be shot? Help. JEV

Hello: JEV
Is the little coil cooling fan running?
May be the temperature adjustment control isn't functioning.
Doubt the defrost would be the cause unless it did not advance out of the defrost cycle. Possible but needs to be verified.
Read the manufacturers online web site for problem possibilities, solving methods, disassembly, reassembly methods, repair procedures, pictorials, downloadable repair manuals, etc which may be available online.
Search the manufacturers web site for a downloadable version of the owners or service manual. The file will be a pdf file opened with Adobe, which also needs to be downloaded first but worth having once obtained.
Retail appliance parts dealers can also help determine what the possible problem may be. Bring the make, model and serial numbers. Appliance part stores and dealers are listed in the phone book.
