Merrick Breck for Model Number FRS26RBBW1 I purchased the control box kit AP5176342 for my refrigerator Fridigaire model# FRS26RBBW1 because the damper was not working on my side by side refrigerator. Replacing the damper did not fix the problem so I was told the temperature control would be the next thing to replace. I decided to spend a little more and get everything new with the control box kit. This did not work either. The freezer side did not get cold enough and the blower ran constantly. On the refrigertor side the damper would stay open and not close. There were 2 things different on this control box. There was only 1 set of wires to the motor and the temp control had 2 connectors. My old control box has 2 connections to the motor and 3 connections to the temp control. Is this the correct control box kit? I following the instructions, putting the probe down the tube hole, making sure all connections were good and getting a good seal around the damper opening. Any help on this would really be appreciated. Thanks
Answer Merrick, It sounds more like an air flow issue, than a control problem. Did you check for a proper frost pattern on the evaporator coils(even, cosistant frost on all the coils)or a slow running evaporator fan motor. You may have had a fualty damper motor assembly, but for your refrigerator, it is available as an individual part. I could not find your model number listed under the control box kit5304482075 and could explain why you're having a wiring issue, and have left over connectors. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
