John for Model Number EHL151FXRQ00 The compressor seems to run all the time and even with the thermostat turned to coldest setting the food is just frozen and not rock hard frozen. I checked the compressor the run- common- start resistance equals to @ 12.7 ohms . The overload had continuity and the relay measured @ 10.5 ohms. There is nothing accessible to clean as far as coils. What might you think the problem is or what else should I check. Thanks.
Answer John, You will want to check the evaporator coils for being impacted with ice or only a partial frost pattern. The partial frost pattern may be a sealed system issue and if the coils are impacted with ice the a defrost issue. You would need to do a continuity test on the defrost heater and thermostat. If they have continuity then the defrost control would be the issue. The overload and relay would not be the problem with the compressor running all the time. Read More...
