Rod for Model Number PSS26MSTDSS Ice once made seem to melt together. Temp says 0 or -1 most of the time and may 5-6 every once in a while. I figure it because the door get opened from time to time. I have test Ice tray for leaks and sometime I see drips from Ice container itself. The door seal is good and the Ice door seals as well. Could it be that the freezer is too warm from time to time? When I take the Ice bucket and make out I don't seem to have the problem with any drips of moisture. I just put a bag of store bought ice in the Ice Bucket for a party and the next day it was a stuck together as well. This does not happen in our other freezer in the garage. Thoughts or ideas?
Answer Rod, Based on the description, it would sound likely that the unit is staying in the defrost cycle for too long and causing the freezer to warm up enough to melt the ice and then refreeze. This would normally be caused by an issue with the thermistor WR55X10025 located on the evaporator coil that is faulty or a control board not reading the thermistor correctly and needing to be replaced. The thermistor can be tested for resistance should be around 42.2K ohms at 0 degrees. If the thermistor does not read properly then it is faulty. If it checks ok then the control board will be the issue. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, March 10, 2020
