Claude for Model Number FFHS2622MSB

Hi, refrig not cooling below 63, while freezer at 12 degrees. Cleaned coils, no avail. Compressor on with evap fan blowing. When freezer door is open, cold air flows smoothly thru damper into refrig side. When Freezer door closes, flow slows to dribble, if at all. What could be causing this? Does damper open fully (silently) when freezer door opens? One would think Damper would be open when door is closed, not open. Could this be thermostat issue?

1 Answer

Claude, The first thing to check will be the evaporator coils in the rear of the freezer compartment and check for impacted coils with ice. If this is the case then it will be a defrost issue and you will want to test the defrost heater and defrost thermostat for continuity. If they are both good then the control board would be the issue.

Mark T, Based on the description of the issue I would first check the frost pattern on the evaporator to see if it is even or heavily coated or possibly partially coated. You could have a defrost issue where the ice and frost are building up and stopping the air flow.

Hello Marcia, You will need to order 242303001 for the model provided. Unplug the refrigerator and stick your head in the fresh food compartment, have someone plug the refrigerator back into the outlet. This should initiate the operation of the damper. If it never stops cycling, the damper will need to be replaced to correct the issue.

Junior, it is recommended that the damper is inspected for anything that may be obstructing the door such as ice. If there is an obstruction, it would need to be removed. If the obstruction is ice, then the door seals would need to be inspected as this would likely be an air leak causing this issue. If there are no obstructions, then the next possibility would be the frequency of the damper opening and closing. If the damper has been opening and closing excessively before this failure, the next question would be if the compressor has been running for long periods of time. If not, then it is likely that the ADC board 242011001 has caused it to fail. If the damper has not been opening and closing excessively before this failure, it is possible that the gear may have had a weak spot that has eventually broken.
