Frank for Model Number FRT18G4AW8 My compressor is running but the freezer & bottom of the refrigerator are both warm. The fan in the freezer is working but not throwing out any cold air. I wanted to order your starter kit # 5304491941 but unsure if it would help. Thank you for your help.
Answer Frank, you may want to inspect the evaporator for a frost pattern. If there is not a frost pattern on the evaporator, then the issue is going to be with the sealed system. The compressor may be operating inefficiently, there may be a restriction, or there may be a freon leak in this case. For any of these situations, an HVAC certified technician would be required for repair. If there is a lot of frost build-up on the evaporator, there is a defrost issue. The defrost heater 5303918208 can be tested for resistance and should measure at 35 ohms. The defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918202 should read continuity at 25°F. If both of these items pass testing in a frost buildup case, then the defrost timer 215846602 would be the issue. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Wednesday, August 21, 2019
