Brian for Model Number RS261MDBP/XAA Hello. The temperature settings on both the freezer and the fridge side are turned all the way down to the lowest / warmest setting but the temperature in the freezer is -12 degrees and the fridge temperature is 38 degrees. Both sides seem too cold considering what the fridge settings are at. I'm not sure if I have 2 bad temperature sensors or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Answer Brian, You can test the thermisters from the main control board. You will check the resistance of the thermisters [ohms] to see if they are out of spec. In the freezer, the thermistor should have a resistance reading of 29,350 at 0 degrees and 39,000 at -12. Test the freezer at connector CN 40 pin5 and CN 50 pin 5 from the main control board. The refrigerator should be around 38 degrees and the thermistor should read 11,500K ohms. Test points are CN 40 pin 9 and CN 50 pin 5. Out of spec thermistors will need to be replaced. Read More...
