Freon Evaporator - Frost not clearing from coil during defrosting

Symptoms

Frost not clearing from coil during defrosting

Possible Causes
  1. Freezing point during defrost is lower then coil temperature
  2. Do not have enough defrost cycles per day
  3. Defrost termination is too short
  4. Defective timer or defrost thermostat
Possible Corrective Steps
  1. Cheater operation
  2. Adjust timer for more defrost cycle
  3. Adjust defrost thermostat or timer for longer cycle
  4. Replace defective component
