Years ago, we would get rid of the frozen line with a hairdryer.
Much quicker, no impact to frozen food.

Minus 17 degrees is crazy low.
Frozen is Frozen.
Check the recommended temp and back-it-down.

Use a 12” length of weed trimmer line. Push it up the water tube on the outside of thE door were you fill your glass. Leave enough length of line out to pull and push it when needed. Next time it freezes up, pull and push line loose, then pull out, and run water by filling a glass. Reinsert the line for next time. This worked for me.

Thanks! I'll give it a try. Surprised I didn't find out about it on YouTube.

Your problem may be the heater unit behind the wall of the freezer. This is what makes refrigerator/freezers self defrosting. Suggest you call Dave's Appliance Repair 352-245-3598

The side by side Refrigerator was the original one for a Sumter home. The line freezes up routinely. To clear it out I have to keep the freezer door open for several hours. I use Styrofoam to keep products inside from thawing out.

I put in a thermometer that tracked the min and max temps and it gets as low as minus 17 degrees. There are two temperature sensors in the freezer section. I am considering replacing them.

Has anyone else had this issue and resolved it?

We have also had problems with our GE refrigerator icemaker water line freezing up. Even our water filter in the refrigerator side was frozen. Milk at the rear of the fridge would freeze as well. I rearranged some items that seemed to be blocking the air flow and raised the temp of the freezer and fridge one notch and have not had a recurrence.
