Liz December 31, 2014 for Model Number FFHS2313LE3 How do I remove the old defrost pan that is bolted in?
1 Answer Hello Liz. The refrigerator will need to be tilted to the right as you face it from the front so the compressor oil does not travel into parts of the sealed system where it will cause a problem. The retaining screws for the defrost pan 241697602 are accessible from the bottom. The unit should be empty and disconnected from the power supply before tilting and/or servicing. I would recommend pouring about 4 to 6 tablespoons of white vinegar in the drain to kill the bacteria in the pan. This will help a lot since some of the odor will be coming from the defrost drain tube. Read More...

Troy June 20, 2014 for Model Number FRS26H5AS I have basically the same question as Stanley. About once a week or so, I find water leaking from underneath the freezer side of my refrigerator. I didn't find my model # listed in the answer to his question. And mine has an ice maker. Model # FRS26H5AS. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide me with, before having to buy another refrigerator of a different make.
1 Answer Troy, First check to the defrost drain pan 241697603 is a good idea, make sure there are no cracks or holes in the pan, and the drain hose is seated properly in the pan. Then check to see if there is a sheet of ice on the freezer floor, this would indicate a clogged defrost drain opening and tube, and will need to be deiced and cleared using hot water or a hair dryer and towels to clean up the mess. Make sure both doors are closing and sealing properly. If the issue were the ice maker it would leak more often than once a week, it cycles about every two hours until the ice bin is full and shuts off. Read More...

Stanley November 23, 2012 for Model Number frt21p5aw7 Every so often, about once a week, I get water around and under my refrigerator. I have no ice maker. Thanks
1 Answer Hi Stanley, check to see if your drain trough 241801301 or drain tube 240500801 is obstructed. When your freezer enters the defrost cycle to melt frost build up on the evaporator, the water is supposed to go down into the drain pan at the bottom of your unit. If the drain is obstructed, water can leak where it doesn't belong. Hope this helps! Read More...

1 Answer Hello Ken. Test and see if the power is cycling. If not, then the fan motor 5303918304 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...

Becky. June 12, 2011 for Model Number glhs38egsbo I meant how do I test the other parts you were talking about that are related to the tempature and defrost?
1 Answer Hello Becky. You will need to test the parts for continuity. They should read closed. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps.http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Becky D. June 11, 2011 for Model Number glhs38egsbo How do i test these? I have already tested the dual cold control board.
1 Answer Hello Becky. The part you requested info on was the defrost pan. This is not a part that can be "tested". It provides a holding pan for defrosting water from the coils. A simple visual inspection will tell you if this part is damaged. Thank you for choosing us! Read More...
Becky June 08, 2011 for Model Number glhs38begsbo How do I clean this pan? It is full and it smells real bad. I have been defrosting my fridge every couple of days because the fridge side warms up and after a while the freezer does to. I have it apart but can't get the pan out.
1 Answer Hello Becky. To remove the pan 241697603, you will need to drop the bottom of the refrigerator. It is easier to use towels to dry the water out of the pan. You will need to test the defrost heater 242044113 and thermostat 5303918214. They should read closed for continuity when cold. If they are good, you will need to replace the control board 5303918340. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.
