I noticed the back wall of the freezer is covered in ice/frost and the fridge is not cooling... I took off the back panel in the freezer and found a snow like frost on the bottom half of the evaporator kit... I'm planning to check the defrost timer thermostat and heater when i get home... Do you know which of these 3 will most likely be the culprit? and which replacement part numbers I will need for my unit? GE TFX26ZPDAA

Sam for Model Number GE TFX26ZPDAA

Answer Hello Sam. If it was just the bottom, and there was no frost on the top of the evaporator, you have a sealed system issue, and not a defrost issue. You will need an HVAC tech to repair the unit.

The coils behind the back panel of the freezer are frozen and covered in a block of frost. How do I decide if I have faulty Defrost timer or defrost thermostat or the defrost heater. Is there a way to check defrost timer to eliminate possibilities. Thanks!

Priti for Model Number GE TFX22CRXOHW

Answer Priti, You will want to do a continuity test on the defrost thermostat and defrost heater. If either do not have continuity then you would need to replace that component. If they do have continuity then you would need to replace the timer. 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

My freezer forms ice and snow under the ice maker bucket and on back of freezer wall. Which part(s) do I need and where are the parts located? Thank you

Kurt for Model Number TFX25PRYD WW

Answer Kurt, You will want to check to make sure that the dispenser ice door is closing all the way. If the door is not closing all the way then it will cause the unit to form frost under the ice bin and cause excess frost on the rear wall of unit.

I have a Hotpoint refrigerator that runs constantly. I have recently installed a new defrost kit with thermostat, defrost timer, run capacitor, main thermostat for refrigerator. the model number is CSX22GRXDWW. The temperature in the freezer is minus 10, and refrigerator fluids freeze. What is the problem?

Tom for Model Number Csx22grxd. Ww

Answer Hello Tom, You have either installed a bad temperature control WR9X569, (new parts can be bad since they are man made) or the temperature controls sensing bulb has been mis-routed and it is not sensing the temperature properly.

In the beginning... Ice was melting in the freezer, dripping down from the ice bucket down to the floor. I would turn the temp control knob up to a highr temperature, but the refrigerator would not turn on. Not until I turned the temp knob back to zero would the unit enage and then I would turn up for cooler temp. Did this for a while. After cancelling a repairman, I purchased a Defrost Control Timer; installed it and everything was great for almost a complete 7 days. Then this morning another puddle of water. Again ice had melted and dripping. So, I'm deciding between replacing the Temp Control, a Defrost Thermostat or Refrigerator Deforst Heater Kit. Any sugestions would be appreciated.

Lb for Model Number TFX26PPDAWW

Answer LB, If the temp control did not turn on until you got almost to off then you could adjust it then you may want to replace temp control.

Hello, I just purchased a defrost control timer, WR9X489. From your Q&A, it looks like it should be located near the temp control box at the inside upper part of the refrigerator section. I took plastic cover off there to reveal the light bulb and two temp control know. What do I need to do to see the control timer? Is it inside the temp control unit? If so, how do I take apart the temp control unit? Please give me detailed instructions. Thank you very much for your help.

Kh for Model Number TFH24PRSBAA

Answer Hello KH, The defrost timer is located behind the plastic cover. Once cover is off there is a metal casing on the right hand side. There are screws holding the casing in place. Remove the screws and pull off. Remove screws holding the timer in place on the front of the metal casing and replace. Reinstall.
