Bob January 14, 2024 for Model Number FGHF2366PH2 We have Frigidaire in our 2015 Georgetown Forrest River RV. We cannot access behind or under the frig ourselves. Freezer cools and holds to 0 no problems, however frig temp keeps rising from 37 to 60. We turn off the frig for an hour and then temp goes down to factory setting at 37 for a half day and then rises again. Is this a defrost heater issue or a defrost thermostat issue or a thermistor issue. Any help would be appreciated...
1 Answer Bob, This does not sound like it would be a defrost issue. This sounds more likely that there may be a control board issue and the control board can be accessed from the front of the unit behind the kickplate. The control board part number would be 242115282. Read More...
Yupy August 21, 2023 for Model Number EI32AF80QS Electrolux stand up freezer getting ice buildup by the top of freezer where the controls are. I keep wiping away the ice but it keep on freezing up droplets where the door closes.
1 Answer Yupy, This issue sounds like it could be that the door is not sealing properly and you will want to check to make sure that it is. Read More...
Paul September 30, 2021 for Model Number pauldemo67@yahoo.com I have 35 ohms across heater when disconnected..110 volts coming in and across during defrost cycle but will not heat up... any suggestions
1 Answer Paul, We will need to have the model number of your product to be able to assist properly with your question but if you have 110 Vac to the heater but the heater is not coming on then it would be a faulty heater. Read More...
Michael September 29, 2021 for Model Number RFG237AARS/XAA Samsung RFG237AARS/XAA freezer makes noise then I found ice was build at the bottom of the freezer section, in addition to, ice maker is empty. I clean the freezer before but the problem come back after a two months approx. Self-diagnostic check shows the LED flash or blink on F-10 and F-1. I guess the F is for freezer 10 for second digital number 8 while the 1 is for first digital number 8. Base the error codes that indicate F-fan error and F-def-Heater error with defrost part error. My question is what is part number for heater defrost in Freezer section. I know there two heater defrosts one is in the upper refrig. the other one is in the freezer at the bottom. I check online most of videos show to replace defrost heater in upper refrig section not freezer section. I am not sure it is difficult to replace or your guys have video. I think the fan motor is fine before the accumulated ice cause noise as long as to solve the defrost problem the fan should be fine. Please provide the correct part number for this model freezer heater defrost. Thank you so much!
Norman July 28, 2021 for Model Number 253.44123800 I am having a problem with the evaporator coil freezing periodically and I believe it is because it is not defrosting properly. The defrost heater has a reading of 37 ohms which I assume is acceptable. The frost/ice sensor switch has continuity when checked when it’s packed in ice. So it appears good also. What else could be the culprit for my issue? The refrigerator runs fine otherwise… until it freezes up. Thanks for your help.
1 Answer Norman, The part that controls the defrost will be the control board which is part number 297334400. Read More...
Brian July 14, 2021 for Model Number LFFH21F7HWG Should this defrost heater show continuity at any temperature? I have no continuity and about 37ohms of resistance when cold. My freezer isn't defrosting. Defrost thermostat is ok. Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Brian, heaters are checked for ohms not continuity,37 ohms is in range for a correctly working heater. Read More...
Matt December 07, 2020 for Model Number Frigidaire Upright Freezer PLFU1778ES2 I have a Frigidaire PLFU1778ES2 Upright Deep Freezer. It works OK but during auto defrost the melted water drip down into the drain channel at the back on the bottom, it freezes right there instead of flowing down the drain. I have cleaned out the drain channel all the way to the underneath of the freezer. As I watch from day to day the dripped water freezes in the drain channel before even reaching the drain hole. I thought the freezer may be too cold, but checked with thermometer, it maintains itself around 0 F, give a take a few degrees. I had a Defrost timer laying around, I replaced it, but it did not change anything. I am thinking, is it the defrost thermostat or the defrost heater assembly, or what. The freezer is full and not easy to empty and take the cover off the evaporator coil area, unless I know what I need and I have it in hand to replace quick and come out. Please help me sort this out. Thanks Matt
1 Answer Hello Matt, if the drain trough is metal check if there is any water/ice collected under it, if it is molded into the plastic liner there is no repair for this as the foam insulation under the liner has become saturated and frozen and is freezing the defrost water before it can reach the drain tube.

Daniel Cook August 03, 2020 for Model Number LFFH2067DW2 Problem: 21 hours of sub zero operation 3 hours of melting ice in a tray. I have replaced the door seal, the defrost thermostat, the temperature controller, the temperature sensor, the defrost timer and for grins the run capacitor. What can I do to adjust how long the defrost timer runs? The fan runs fine the cooling goes to -10 degrees below zero. What am I missing? I have a tray of Ice in the freezer as a test. It melts and refreezes so the sun it is not safe for food. The alarm also goes off when the ice melts. Can the time it goes into defrost be shortened?
1 Answer Daniel, There is no way to adjust the time on the defrost timer. If you just have a pan of ice in the unit then it could start getting watery but would not completely melt in that time. It sounds likely that it could be sticking which is not unheard of but does happen sometimes with new timers. If the unit is staying off for 3 hours at one time this is likely the timer that is going to be the issue. Read More...
Greg March 27, 2020 for Model Number 253.28092802 What is the normal Ohms reading for the 216730700 Defrost Heater Assembly.
1 Answer Greg, First check across the heater terminals for continuity, it should have a "closed" circuit at room temperature. Reset your multimeter top the lowest R setting, and recheck across the heater terminals, would expect a resistance reading of 25 ohms resistance(+/- 10%). Thanks, Read More...
