Dave for Model Number RS26WUSW Everything is working fine EXCEPT: the panel on the outside walls is warm and the one dividing the refer/freezer is very hot. Almost too hot to touch. Is there a heater in this side by side that maybe evaporates moisture? Can it be disconnected? I live in Panama and service is almost impossible to find (well, a tech anyway) so I must jury rig this myself or end up with a burned up refer...can you help? Thanks, Dave
Answer Dave, There is not a heater in the mullion or the cabinet of the refrigerator for keeping moisture off the cabinet. This is done by the use of the refrigerant lines that run throughout the unit. Normally if the cabinet and center mullion are getting to hot then it indicates a bad condenser fan motor or the coils are completely impacted. You will want to check these things to make sure that they are in order. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Thursday, April 18, 2013
