Jeff R. for Model Number RM255LASH Having issue with noise coming from a Fan, sounds like it is coming from the freezer side in back of the Ice Maker assembly. You hear it running and when you open the door it winds down. If I hold the door button in it will start up and is louder than with it closed. I can hear it from both the refrig side or the freezer side, but it is louder on the freezer side. As of last nite the temp seem to have dropped in the freezer. Top stuff is soft and the ICE is not freezing. the bottom freezer drawer is cold and food is frozen. Not sure what part I need and how to access it. Thanks
Answer Hi Jeff. Your fan part # DA31-00020E may not be the issue. From the sounds of all, you have a defrost issue. The evaporator coils heave completely blocked w/ice and the fan is overworking to keep cavity temperatures satisfied. The defrost thermostat sensor part # DA32-10105G should remain normally closed in the frozen temperatures so it can pass the 120 vac to the defrost heater part # DA97-03153W. It only comes w/ the evaporator assy. It will be available on Mar. 5-15th. You can use the new heater and place it on the original coils so you do not need a complete sealed system repair just to use the new heater. Use a volt/ohm meter part # MA-DM1 to assist yourself in diagnostics. Make sure the inside cover styrofoam seals perfectly so the air flow will be normal. It needs to completely seal against the back wall the full circumference. Thank You. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Saturday, February 25, 2012
