Matt for Model Number kenmore 106.56702500 My refrigerator section keeps warming up. The freezer stays frozen. My kids turned down the refrigerator section to 33°f so I unplugged thew whole unit for 36 hours and let it all thaw with doors open. plugged it back in, set temp to correct 37° and a little more than 12 hours later it was good to go. 4 days later inside fridge was warm again.(last night) This morning it was cooled off again, but not where it should be. Is this a thermistor problem since the freezer works just fine? What else should I check?
Answer Hello Matt. It sounds like you may have a defrost problem with the unit. Check and see if there is any frost build up on the back wall of 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...
