the freezer is working fine but the refrigerator compartment is not. Have turned the temp to coldest setting with no change. This just happened over the last 2 days. It is a Kenmore 59672842101
James C for Model Number 59672842101
Answer James,
Based on the information, you will want to check to see if the fan in the freezer is running and check for frost on the back wall of the freezer compartment. If the fan motor is not running then you will want to make sure that there is 120 vac getting to the fan. If there is then you would need to replace the fan motor [12013211Q]. If the fan is operational then check for frost on the rear wall of the freezer. If there is frost or no frost then pull the rear cover of the freezer and check for impacted evaporator coils. If the coils are impacted then you would need to check the defrost heater and defrost thermostat which should read continuity when cold. If either does not then replace that part. If they both check ok then you would need to replace the defrost 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
What does the damper control actually do? Would that cause the fridge to freeze things ?
Violet for Model Number br22ve amana
Answer Violet,
The damper control opens and closes according to the temperature in the refrigerator compartment. With things freezing then the damper control would be the most likely culprit.
My refigerator amana model BR18V1W, My refrigerator, from the first moment it has not stopped working, only it does it in the cycle of defrost, for what the compressor It was damage. The technician was change the compressor and he said to me that the thermostat does not serve. Now, after a lot of time, I is the well-read one in the matter and realize that the thermostat was coming uncalibrated from factory. The refrigerator I buys it newly. Now I have empezad when the screws of the thermostat move and now, the engine stops every certain time. Now, I need to know to that temperature must stop this thermostat and all that is the correct time that must remain extinguished before restarting the march. If it is possible that i send you my thermostat in order that you calibrate it?
Please answer to me, What I pay for the electrical consumption is too much.
Mi refrigerador, desde el primer momento no ha parado de trabajar, solamente lo hace en el ciclo de deshielo, por lo que el compresor se daño. El técnico cambio el compresor y me dijo que el termostato no sirve. Ahora, despues de mucho tiempo, yo he leido al respecto y me doy cuenta de que el termostato venía descalibrado de fabrica. El refrigerador lo compre nuevo. AHora he empezad a mover los tornillos del termostato y ahora si para el motor cada determinado tiempo. Ahora necesito saber a que temperatura debe parar ese termostato y cuanto es el tiempo correcto que debe permanecer apagado antes de reiniciar la marcha. ¿Si es posible enviarles mi termostato para que me lo calibren? Lo que pago por el consumo eléctrico es demasiado.
Alexxxo for Model Number br18v1w
Answer Alexxxo, Sorry, but we are not equipped to calibrate your cold control, the manufacturer and APP,reccomends to replace the control C8946703. Being an older refrigerator, the control could be out of calibration, but there are several things you need to check firt. Make sure both doors close and seal properly, The air flow is proper(nothing against the walls, or hanging over the shelves, the compartments are not overloaded, etc. Then check the food product temperature with an accurate cook's thermometer (fresh food temp. should be 37 to 40 dgrs. F / freezer food temp. should be 0 to 5 dgrs.F.) and adjust the controls accordingly one(1) setting at a time every 24 hours, until the temperature is achieved. As for compressor run time, that is a product of several conditions, room temperature, product temperature, load size and door openings etc. But, the defrost cycle should occurr after 18 hours of accumulated compressor run time(approximately every24 to 30 hours in real time). Thanks and Good Luck
Refrigerator nice and cold, but the freezer will only go down to
35 degrees. Cleaned everything, condenser fan running nicely.
Winn for Model Number Amana BX20S5L
Answer Winn, The temperature control, could be the issue. But first you need to check and make sure the freezer door and gasket are sealing, on all four sides, when the door is closed. Make sure there are no tall articles blocking or redirecting the air flow to the freezer control panel, causing the temperature control to cycle early. Good Luck and Thanks
Freezer is working but the fridge is not cold. Can you help me?
Stan for Model Number AMANA BR-18-VL
Answer Hello Stan. Check and see if the evaporator fan motor 12013211Q is running in the freezer. If not, it will cause the problem your having. Also, if the fan motor is running, you will want to check for frost build up on the back wall inside the freezer. If so, you have a defrost probelm and will need to test the heater 12219401 and thermostat 10442411. They should read closed for continuity when cold. If they are good, you will need to replace the defrost timer R0131577. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
My refrigerator and freezer is nice and cold and the ice maker is making ice really well. The problem is, the frig keeps running and never shuts off. Only during the defrost cycle. Then it runs and runs again. Do I need a freezer temperature control? Everything else is fine. It's a kitchen Aid bottom freezer.
Joe for Model Number KBRS22KGBL0
Answer Hi Joe. Pull the back lower cover off. See if the condenser fan motor is running up to speed? If not then you need part # 10884503. Clean the condenser coils with a coil cleaning brush part # is TJ103. Dirty coils will start a no-cool then you will not be able to satisfy the cold control. The cold control is part # C8946703. Thank you.
