Henry for Model Number ED22TQXFW00 Would the defrost timer cause the rubber gasket to get hot on the refrigerator door? It also gets warm on the panel between the freezer and frige. The freezer gets cold but frige doesn'tget very cold.
Answer Henry, No the defrost timer isn't likely to be the issue. The more likely problem is the condenser coils 2198175 on the bottom of the refrigerator are dirty and clogged or the condenser fan motor W10822259 in the back of the refrigerator compressor compartment is dirty or not running at the proper speed, if at all. The condenser is where the heat transfer occurs, if it is clogged or the fan can't cool down the cools everything starts to get warm/hot especially the mullion strip across the door opening. Check and clean the coils and fan motor and you'll be fine. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, August 31, 2015
