My refrigerator section keeps warming up. The freezer stays frozen. My kids turned down the refrigerator section to 33°f so I unplugged thew whole unit for 36 hours and let it all thaw with doors open. plugged it back in, set temp to correct 37° and a little more than 12 hours later it was good to go. 4 days later inside fridge was warm again.(last night) This morning it was cooled off again, but not where it should be. Is this a thermistor problem since the freezer works just fine? What else should I check?

Matt for Model Number kenmore 106.56702500

Answer Hello Matt. It sounds like you may have a defrost problem with the unit. Check and see if there is any frost build up on the back wall of the freezer. If so, you will need to test the defrost heater and the defrost thermostat. They should read closed for continuity when cold. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. I will include a link at the end to assist you how to use the multi-meter if needed. If both parts are good, you will need to replace the defrost timer. Once the problem is repaired, you will need to thaw out the ice on the coils before the unit will operate properly. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

The refrigerator part of the unit is not getting cold but the freezer is. I see a box inside the fridge with the temp control and a vent. Is there a fan in this unit that may not be functuning? Does the cold air come down from the freezer by convection? How does this work and what do I need to fix it?

Answer Hello Frank. If there is a fan in the top of the unit, and there is power to it, and it is not running, you will need to order and replace the fan motor in the unit. 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

Hi, Fridge has developed an intermittent issue with temp control. At times the freezer temp is way to cold. When set at normal mid-range setting it can be as cold as -20F. During these times the refrigerator section is also below normal..below 32F in the bottom sections. The temp difference between the freezer and refrigerator seems about right so I don't think it's a damper problem. My guess is a thermostat (thermistor??) problem. Please give short explanation of function of temp control and your suggestion of problem. How to test? I saw a 2.7K ohm @ room temp spec in another answer, is that for this thermistor? Thanks

Pete for Model Number kenmore 106.53352300

Answer Pete, You will want to check the thermistors of the unit as this may be a bad thermistor 2188819. You can test the thermistors by removing from unit and letting them warm to room temp. At 77 degrees the resistance should be 2.7K ohms. If the thermistors are not reading the proper resistance then they are defective. If the thermistors check ok then the control 8201527is faulty and would need to be replaced. 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

James for Model Number Kenmore Elite refrigerator 106.74209400

Answer Hello James, You will want to check the damper assembly on unit to make sure it is not stuck open or warped. You will also want to check the resistance of the thermistor. The thermistor should read 2.7K ohms at room temp. The resistance will go up as the temp goes down.

How do we I replace the diffuser (AP4370851) for GD5NVAXWA00? The diagram on the website is not clear. Do I need to remove the diffuser clips from the freezer side, if so how?

Ketpur for Model Number GD5NVAXWA00

Answer Hello Ketpur. You will remove the cover on the inside of the fresh food. Then remove the air duct assembly at the top inside the freezer. Once you remove it, you can access the clips and release the tabs securing the diffuser W10128726 in place and replace the part.

I found ice covering the thermostat. When I tested it, it tested bad. I replaced it with a GE thermostat. I listened to a friend and replaced the start device. The compressor is too hot to touch. The unit will run normally if it is pulled out from the wall. If you push it 2 inches from the wall, the ice cubes start to melt. frost only cover 3 rows on the evaporator where the freon coming in.Fans are working ,At the compressor line out is hot and line in is cool. my question is: I need new unit or just install tap valve in low side and put in some 134 freon in.The unit is 4 years old.Thinking about replace thermistor .It read inf in any temperature Someone help. Thanks

Joseph T. for Model Number GS6NBEXRL02

Answer Hello Joseph, If the unit runs too hot when pushed back to the wall, you need to check the condenser fan motor 2188874. It is this fans job to help dissipate the heat the unit has removed form the unit interior, back into the room. The best test for this is to stop the fan and let go. If it starts turning slowly, or you have to bump it to get it started back up, it should be replaced. Of course, you should refer back to the installation instructions to insure there is enough room around the unit to allow for proper air flow. If you have a cabinet that fits the unit snugly, the entire issue may be a lack of air flow.
