Scott for Model Number WRF560SEYB01 The fan in my freezer keeps freezing up to the point of stopping. I have to take the back cover off and melt all the ice that has accumulated around it. I believe this may be the result of my evaporator assembly not working correctly. Is the thermister the same thing as a defrost thermostat? Will it help solve my problem icing up my evaporator?
Answer Hello Scott. It sounds like you may have a defrost problem with the unit. Check and see if there is any frost build up on the evaporator coils in the freezer. If so, you will need to test the defrost heater and the defrost thermostat. They should read closed for continuity when cold. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. I will include a link at the end to assist you how to use the multi-meter if needed. If both parts are good, you will need to replace the defrost timer. Once the problem is repaired, you will need to thaw out the ice on the coils before the unit will operate properly. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
