Nathan Schneider for Model Number 211649314 I have a freezer controller that burned out as soon as I plugged the freezer in. I listed this part number instead of the appliance. The freezer had been dropped on the front corner, same side as the compressor, but before that, the freezer had been operating normally. This part is really expensive and I don't want to plug it in and have it blow up on me. Are there other things I should troubleshoot before plugging it in?
Answer Nathan, Without a model number it's a bit difficult but, remove the compressor compartment cover and inspect the wiring harness to make sure the wires didn't get pinched between the damaged areas of the cabinet or door hinge (upright freezer). If the wiring is OK, you may want to test the compressor for operation. the damage could have damaged the motor and it may be drawing to high a current in order to start and run. Read More...
