Frost on the back wall of a K2811Vi is one of the more misread signs in refrigeration. A thin, even layer that appears and disappears is the evaporator doing its job between defrost cycles. A thick, persistent build-up that never clears is a defrost problem – a heater, a sensor or a timer. Telling an owner which of the two they have is often the whole of a first phone conversation about this model.
