Steve for Model Number RS25J500DSG/AA-01 Several days ago the ice maker quit working. Then several days later I noticed that the freezer and refrigerator sides were not as cold as they should be. cleaned the condenser coils, opened the evaporator section to check the fan and for a frozen evaporator. Only the top of the evaporator was frosted. I checked the thermistors in the evaporator compartment and both we functioning properly. I saw no signs of refrigerant leaking (oil stains, etc.). I inspected the boards for obvious problems. when I first opened the compartment with the control boards it did have a hint of burnt smell. The driver board has a solid red light and there is some cooling. I've forced the compressor on and this does not make it cool better. Is this a variable speed compressor? Could the driver not be giving the compressor the proper speed command? The manual that I found on the internet was lacking in any PID diagrams so I am in the dark about how to check this or how the boards and control devices interact with each other. My thoughts are one of the following: there is a control device giving the wrong signal, the mother board is telling the driver to do the wrong thing, the compressor driver is not sending the proper signal to the compressor, or it is a r134 issue. Any help is appreciated.
Answer Steve,Based on the information provided it sounds as if you have a sealed system issue and would need an EPA certified technician to perform the repairs needed. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, April 12, 2021
