Gary G Ofallon , MO July 12, 2015 This was for a friend of mine his refrigerator stopped cooling This was a 2000 model so rather than just replace the defrost timer which was visibly burnt on the terminals, we just did everything. The cold control, defrost timer, thermostat, defrost heater and the compressor capacitor were all replaced. I had the same issue on my older unit and tore it apart replacing one item at a time over a three month period so on an older one i suggest do it all while it is apart.

Bill K Concord , IL June 14, 2022 Freezer working but refrigerator not cooling. Diagnosis of timer, thermostat, and heating element. Heating element was sagging and had a internal break in element when moved had continuity intermittently, timer contacts had been hot and thermostat was replaced because it was bulging in the top but was still working (?) —-installed all three in less than 1/2 hour and all works correctly. Note- parts shipped in an oversized box with no padding to protect from shipping damages, hope all are OK - working so far. Very pleased with AppliancePartsPros.com other than shipping, Thanks B Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Nut Drivers, Screwdrivers
