PFSF5NFYA BB). For about a week now I have had an issue where the freezer goes up to about 40F degrees then back down to 0. This process takes about 6 hours. So it is not a normal defrost cycle. But it does seem like it may be correlated. After doing research I replaced the freezer defrost thermostat and the thermistor. This looked like it may have fixed the issue, but after about 24 hours of it not happening, it started again.

The freezer does eventually get down to 0 again, but it takes so long that the ice will almost totally melt then completely refreeze. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Update (09/04/23)

Wanted to follow up. I replaced the inverter and that did it. Been a few weeks and still running properly
