Tim February 03, 2018 for Model Number FRS26H7CSB2 What should the voltage be from the motherboard to the water or ice actuator?
1 Answer Hello Tim, As per the tech sheet you should have 5Vdc to the dispenser board from the main board on the Red wire. The Black wire is the ground to the dispenser board. Read More...
Bah1956 December 06, 2017 for Model Number LGHB2867PFLA Have error code 5Y EF. I found the wiring diagram for this refrig but it shows only three wires to the evap motor (yellow/white, red/white, and brown/white). According to the diagram r/w is 12 volts and b/w is ground but it does not state what the y/w wire is. I entered touch screen diagnostics and when setting the fan motor from off, lo, and high the feedback current is always 0. Does this test the fan or could it still be the circuit board? What are the part numbers for the fan and board for this model? Thanks
1 Answer Bah1956, The yellow wire is for the fan feed back and would most likely be a faulty fan if there is 12 vdc to the fan but it is not running. Read More...
Barbara November 05, 2017 for Model Number FGHB2866PF3 Your video shows where the motor is located on a Kennomore. I have a Frigidaire with the bottom freezer. Where is this motor located. Is this video helpful?
1 Answer Barbara, This would be the evaporator fan motor and will be located behind the rear wall of the freezer compartment. Read More...
Ivan August 02, 2017 for Model Number FSC23F7DSB9 My Frigidaire FSC23F7DSB9 side-by-side refrigerator fails to hold the target temperatures(6/38 F).Once plugged into the wall, the refrigerator starts and reaches the target temperatures, but the fridge does not starts again. Every 30 secs or so, it tries to start up(I can hear a fan inside the refrigerator and the condenser coil fan start spinning up but only for about a second). If I unplug it for a while and then plug it back in, it starts up and runs for a short time and the temperature indicators inside the refrigerator blinks E/F which means "Evaporator fan circuit failure". But if I let it rest unplugged for 4-6 hours, it starts up and reaches its target temperatures again. Could it be that the evaporator motor gets overheated and needs to cool down(I've already replaced the thermistor(AP4032998) and defrost thermostat(AP2150145))?
1 Answer Ivan, The evaporator fan in your refrigerator is a 12 VDC fan motor 809069220 / 241509402. They can and will get "stuck" in a low speed, or not run at all intermittently. With the fan running slow or not at all would affect the cooling performance in both compartments. You can access the fan, make sure you rest the controls to the coldest setting so everything starts and runs, if the fan isn't running tap the blade or motor with your finger, if it runs, replace it. If it doesn't, check for 12 VDC to the motor and replace the control board on the bottom of the refrigerator if no voltage or low voltage (less than 8 VDC). Read More...
Stressed June 27, 2017 for Model Number FHGN2844LF8 I have a Frigidaire gallery French door fridge and am getting the 5YEF code. we pulled fridge out cleaned the coils in back and the bottom part on the front plugged back in and worked for about 16 hours then began getting the code again. The fridge seems to stay at temp longer than the freezer does. I'm confused about chekcing the difference in the evaporator motor or the circuit board. Please help.
1 Answer Stressed, You will want to access the control board of the unit and test the connection point that feeds power to the motor. If there is power at this point then it would be a motor that is bad. If there is no power then you would want to replace the control board. Read More...
James March 01, 2017 for Model Number FGUS2632LP2 I have the error code sy ef on my Frigidaire gallery fgus2632lp2. I was reading the q&a section under the evaporator fan motor and it spoke of checking voltage from brown to red wires and then brown to blue and brown to yellow to insure it is the fan or the board that controls it. I did those things as well as unplugging and repluging the unit. When checking voltage I got 9 to 11 volts brown to red and 0 volts brown to any other wire. Would that be a good indication that its the board and not the fan? I am also unsure about the part number for that board. Thank you
1 Answer Hello James, The code you are getting is actually 5Y EF. This indicates and issue in the evaporator fan circuit failure. Check the wiring between the evaporator fan and control board. This can be caused by the evaporator fan motor 809069220 or control board 5303918538 if no wiring issues exist. The reading from the J7-7 to J7-6 should be 12Vdc. If this reading is correct, replace the fan motor. Read More...
Trent February 28, 2017 for Model Number LGHC2342LF0 I was getting SY EF code so ordered evaporator fan motor. I installed it and worked great for just over a month and then the same thing started happening. I could hear a vibration sound, (I think when the fan kicked on), and this would happen for a few days and then SY EF. I am returning the fan and then ordering a new one but why would it fail so soon? Would just a bad part cause this or could something else cause it? Thank you
1 Answer Hello Trent, This is normally caused by a bad part but to be sure you can test the voltage being supplied to it by the control 5304499075. If incorrect, (12Vdc), this could be the cause of the failure. Read More...
Wjsx January 27, 2017 for Model Number Electrolux EI23BC36 Hi. After reading the other questions concerning checking voltages to the evaporator fan motor, can you tell me specifically what the variable voltages should be on the yellow lead to the fan motor? I get a reading of 12 volts between the red and brown leads, and 12-ish volts between the yellow and brown leads for both the hi and low settings. Does this mean I have an problem with the main controller board? Also, when I use a battery to apply 12 volts simultaneously to the red and yellow leads, the fan works, but doesn't work when plugged into the refrigerator! Very confusing. Any help welcome. Thanks.
1 Answer WJSX, Here's a break down of the wiring to the variable speed evaporator fan motor : Brown wire is the common/ground lead. Blue wire is the Tachometer feedback circuit from the fan motor to the main control board. This is the only way the Main Control Board can know if the fan is actually moving or not as it is a varied voltage. Yellow wire is voltage that is varied by the Main Control Board in order to change the fan speed. Red wire is constant 12VDC from Main Control Board. So brown to red should have a constant 12 to 14 VDC. Brown to yellow will have 8 to 14 VDC from the board to the fan motor depending on the speed selected by the sensors and control board. Brown to blue will have 8 to 14 VDC depending on what speed to fan motor is running. You may want to check the voltages at both the control board and the evaporator fan, if you find a discrepancy.

Hali January 17, 2017 for Model Number fghs2631pf4a Getting code 5y ef replaced fan motor and the board. still showing same code and fan is not kicking on but coils are frosting up!! I don't know what to do now please help!
1 Answer Hello Hali, SY EF is the fault code for an evaporator fan circuit failure. Check wiring between evaporator fan and control board. If no problem is found there is an issue with either the evaporator fan 809069220 or the control board 5304497976. Read More...
Brad January 07, 2017 for Model Number 25344509600 EF code intertmittantly shuts down. The evaporator fan motor seems to be working ok. I unplug unit & it works for about a day.
1 Answer Hello Brad, EF is the System Evaporator Fault. This usually means there is NOT enough air flow over the sensor, this can mean a faulty sensor, or evaporator fan motor. If the fan motor is good, replace the sensor. Read More...
