Answer That switch is the temperature alarm switch. It has to be hooked up to close the circuit for the system.

My freezer is not working consistently. Most of the food is frozen solid and some is not. The food on the top shelf has about a 60/40 gel/solid freeze. This happens about twice a year. When I bought the freezer new in 2005 it held everything at -25 degrees for the first year and since generally holds at +15-25 degrees.

Answer Kris, You will want to check your evaporator coils to make sure that they are not getting impacted with frost. If this is the case then you will want to test the defrost heater and defrost thermostat for continuity. If the defrost thermostat does not have continuity when cold, the part is bad and would need to be replaced. The defrost heater should always have continuity. If both check ok then the defrost timer would be the issue. Also check to make sure that the evaporator fan is operational. If not then check to make sure that you are getting 120 vac to the fan motor. If not then the thermostat would be the issue and if you are you would want to replace the fan. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

Recently my freezer has started running all the time. When I tried to turn it off it continued to run. The temperature control blinks 0 and the the letter F. I unplugged the freezer overnight and when I plugged it in the unit ran fine for several hours. The temperature contol worked properly and the freezer would turn off without the 0 and F code blinking. I let it run a few hours more and when I tried to turn it off the display again showed 0 and the F code. I now have it unplugged, I emptied the freezer when I first started this process.

Answer David, The OF on the control board of the unit means that the unit is in the off position. With this issue occurring you would want to replace the control board.

Fred for Model Number frt18drhw1

Answer Fred, To replace the defrost bimetal on unit you will first unplug unit. Once unplugged you will empty freezer compartment and pull rear cover of freezer out. Once this is done you will need a pair of wire strippers. You will cut out the old bimetal and install the new one using the connectors with the part.
