Chris for Model Number KSRS25FGSS14 My side by side fridgedair fridge does not go into defrost mode. the Bimetal thermostat is fine as I checked for continuity when cold . I also confirmed that the heater has continuity per your various web site guides and information. I have replaced the Defrost control board and when I turned on the fridge the first time the heater came on for about 5 min. Hours later the fridge start to click and the lights would flicker about 10 times and then the compressor would stop. Minutes later the compressor would come back on and the fridge would continue to work... The problem is it does not go into defrost mode, even when I turn it off for 30 sec and back on with the fridge off. the heater does not come on even thought the bi-metal is cold enough to keep a circuit. Is it possible something is causing the control board to fail? How can I TEST the control board to see if it has failed... Any feedback would be appreciated.
Answer Chris, Double check to make sure that the heater is not grounding out as this could be causing the issue. This would be the most likely cause for the issue. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, November 6, 2017
