Marty for Model Number PCF23NGWABB Freezer has been at 0, Fridge at 36 since we bought it. Recently the freezer has been around 4-6 and fridge at 49. I have cleaned the coils, plugged back in and Freezer will onlu go down to 4 and fridge 42. I'm trying to figure out what part needs replacing. I'm leaning towards the defrost Thermostat. Please help with suggestion! Thanks!
Answer Hello Marty. You need to check and make sure the condenser fan motor is running. If it is not running, replace the condenser fan motor WR60X10209. If it is running and your having a frost issue, you will need to test the defrost heater and the defrost thermostat. They should read closed for continuity when cold. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. I will include a link at the end to assist you how to use the multi-meter if needed. If both parts are good, you will need to replace the control board. Once the problem is repaired, you will need to thaw out the ice on the coils before the unit will operate properly. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
