Al for Model Number RT21LMXKQ06 What now? Tested the timer according to instructions and it tested good.__the old one of course. Frig stopped running at 45deg and stayed that way till i tapped the control box a bit then it started running again till it got down to 39deg. I tested the thermostat a week ago and it tested good. O at the coldest setting--and infinity at the lowest setting when it had been the freezer for 30 min. When I installed the new timer it defrosted and water ran into the pan under the frig. No problem.Seemed to be ok till it ran for awhile. Just checked the temp and it is46.5deg. Not running--tapped the control box and it started. Where do I go from here? sorry to keep bothering you but am at a loss as to what to do. Thanks again Al
Answer Al, We're a bit surprised, but it sounds like the cold control WP2204605 has a"sticky" contact, or the end of the temperature bulb is not inserted into the air flow properly. When testing the cold control, it's best to use a glass of ice and water, regardless of the setting selected the circuit should remain "closed " until the temperature is reached, then the circuit will ' open" and remain open until the "cut in" temperature is reached and the circuit closes again. Using the glass of ice water will allow you to conduct the circuit test several times in a short period of time. This may allow the defect(sticky contact) to appear and be resolved.
