Mike D for Model Number Electrolux Frigidaire FRS26HF7BB2 I had a technician replace the whole front assembly where the temperature controls are, to correct no cold air getting to the box. However, since it was repaired, it's freezing eveything in the refrigerator. I called the tech back out and he showed me a set screw behind the temperature knob. He turned it a quarter turn clockwise and told me this should solve the problem and if it didn't in 48 hours, to give it another quarter turn myself. Is this true? This did not solve the problem whatsoever. Could he have misdiagnosed the problem in that the damper door was closed before and now it is stuck open? Could the damper door motor be the thing that should have been replaced in the first place? Thanks!
Answer Hello Mike, The screw the technician showed you is calibrated by temperature at the factory and he destroyed the part by changing the calibration. You will never get the calibration corrected without going to the factory and having it set with their electronic equipment. This has nothing to do with the cold air going to the fresh food compartment. Anytime there is a screw with a "dab" of paint on it, the paint is to prevent the screw from vibrating during shipment and changing the calibration. I would suspect the damper or the air return at the bottom to be blocked or otherwise closed. You can check the bottom, (air return), by pulling the drawer and simply checking the opening to be sure it's clear. The damper can be checked by turning the unit off and back on. It will actuate each time it's turned back on. If you hear it actuate, it's now time to open it up and make sure the door and linkages are free and not blocked by ice or broken. Read More...
