Mike T. for Model Number frs26rlecs0 Thanks so much for the reply in regards to availability of a control unit for my refrigerator. However, I will need some testing procedures to determine the faulty component. I am a master certified auto technician who specializes in electrical diagnosis so the use of a multimeter, ohm testing, etc. is something I am extremely comfortable with. I just need to know what the parameters are for the components being testing or a trouble tree of sorts. Can you help me with this? I would be happy to pay for any info you can provide so I can determine which component to buy from you. Thanks again.
Answer Hello Mike. For the defrost problem, you will need to look for a frost build up in the back of the freezer. If there is frost there, you will need to test the defrost thermostat 5303918214 and defrost heater 5303918255. They should read closed for continuity. If one is open, replace that part. If both are closed, replace the defrost control. For the damper 241600902 you will need to check and see if the door is opening and closing properly. If the refrigerator is at 55° the damper should be open. If it is closed, test and see if power is coming to the damper. If so, but the damper is closed, replace the damper. To test the cold controls 241537104 5304496561, remove them from the refrigerator and test them at room temperature, they should read closed with the knob in the on position. Then put the tips in a glass of ice water, they should open. You can test this with a multi-meter MA-DM1. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.
