Harold for Model Number FRS23H5ASB5 Hi. My Fridge side is freezing everything and the refrigerator does not seem to cycle off. The freezer section is colder than it should be and changing the settings on either side seem to have no effect. I replaced the Defrost Thermostat sensor and did not cure the problem. Will part number AP5176342 cure the problem, or should I be looking elsewhere?
Answer Hi Harold. You are correct. You will need to purchase the part # 5304482075 because it contains not only a revised damper assy. , it will get you a new adaptive defrost control board. This will put you into and out of defrost. If you have already temporarily put the freezer food in another freezer, You can remove the freezer bins, and shelves. Then remove the ice bin and shut ice maker off. Remove the back wall and manually defrost the evaporator with a hair dryer not getting too close to the inside cabinet walls.. Unblock the ice build up on the coils to get proper air flow again to the fridge side. Also remove the damper. Unplug all electrical connections on the motor and block the flap open @ 50% so the freezer air will get to the fresh food section as you are waiting on the new parts. This control box kit is part # 5304482075. Thank you. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Saturday, September 24, 2011
