The RF178WRNJX1 is the ice-only 18.2 cu. ft. model, and its most instructive problem is frost where there should not be any. On an ActiveSmart cabinet, frost building up in the freezer is rarely the compressor’s problem; it is either a door that is not sealing, or the defrost cycle not running as it should, and those two are told apart quickly once someone is actually looking at the machine.
