The MRT118FZEM is a top-freezer refrigerator with a small number of well-known failure points, and the cold control, defrost timer or drain tube heads that list. The plate carries the full model and serial, and that is what decides which revision of a part is correct.
Useful things an owner can do: clearing vents, checking the seal and using a thermometer. Anything that requires a panel to come off should wait for a technician.
