Chris October 15, 2013 for Model Number kenmore upright freezer 253.9266211 My freezer is at a temp of 27.5 but the food is not freezing all the way through. Im think my defrost timer is sticking. Freezer kicked off yesterday. I tighten the timer screw one click and it came back on checked in morning same thing 27.5 degrees freezer running food half frozen. There are no sealing issues. I have check the door seal. Any other suggestions. Does this sound like a timer issue ???
1 Answer Hello Chris. Check for a full frost pattern on the coils. It sounds more like a sealed system issue or the cold control. If sealed system, you will need an HVAC tech to repair the unit. Read More...
Charlie October 05, 2013 for Model Number LFFH2067DW3 What causes my Frigidaire up right freezer to gets cold but do not freeze?
1 Answer Hello Charlie. Look for an even frost pattern all over the coils inside the freezer. If there is not one, you have a sealed system failure and will need an HVAC tech to repair the unit. Read More...
Sadiemae April 29, 2013 for Model Number MR520HRAW I have a Kelvinator side by side refrigerator that is getting cold in freezer section, but not in fresh food section. It is not freezing anywhere except the bottom of the freezer,but only a small amount there. I need to know possible things that could be wrong.
1 Answer Hello sadiemae. It could be a bad fan motor, a defrost issue, or a sealed system issue. Check the fan and make sure it is running. Make sure there is not a defrost issue. If all is good, then it is a sealed system issue. Read More...
David April 04, 2013 for Model Number 2539287413 AppliancePartsPros e-analysis: On my Freezer 2539287413, In my Timer 216517400, the compressor-timer terminal(1-4), on the 'points' type terminal leaf's showed burnt/globule, and high R.. due to start-up arcing after defrost cycle .. and may have stuck .. and may-be this is a current surging problem on start-up ... Have noticed the current rating difference of 15A,1/2hp for the Timer 297318010 china; changed to 10A,1/3hp for the 216744400 mexico, with the same Mfgr symbol/logo on them ???, that Kenmore recommends .... This would seem to be related to my problem, was their a fix and/or a cost reduction at the same time ??? Which part are you shipping ?? What are your shipping charges ??
1 Answer David, The timer that your unit is calling for is part number 5304518034. This timer is a 15A 1/2 hp 12hr timer. Read More...
Spike February 24, 2013 for Model Number FRU17B2JW15 My refrigerator is maintaining a temperature of 60° degrees. If I tap the back wall next to the temperature control, it will start running and sometimes cool down to 45 degrees. Is it the thermostat or the defrost timer?
1 Answer Hello Spike, Being a Frigidaire, I would guess the temperature control first, since this has been a common failure on their models. Read More...
Rommel M December 11, 2012 for Model Number FFU14FC4CN0 The ice box is getting cold along the walls and bottom of the unit however the racks are not getting cold. Trying to figure if I have a problem or not.
1 Answer Hello Rommel, It is not abnormal for the shelving to not feel cold but the walls to be cold due to larger surface area. The way to find out if it is cooling properly is to put a thermometer in the middle of unit and see what the temp is. You should be at about 0 degrees plus or minus 5. Read More...
1 Answer Hi. Is there any frost on the back wall of the freezer? Advance the defrost timer part # 5304518034 in the back of the lower cabinet to the Ist heavy click. Timer contacts close between contacts 2 and 4 to send the voltage to the heater. This activates the defrost heater through the normally closed defrost thermostat part # 297216600. If the heater part # 216608500 does not come on then remove the back wall of the freezer and test for 120 vac on one of the incoming defrost thermostat leads -to-ground. If it is there and not out of the other side lead of the thermostat then it is not closed (in temperatures below 14°). If so then ohm out the heater for closed continuity as it need to have resistance value of 11-18 ohms. If the timer turns hard then replace it. It turns very easy in small increments and quickly passes from the first heavy click(defrost begins), to the last 2nd heavy click -terminating 25 minutes defrost time length. This is a usual NO-COOL. Make sure the compressor runs as the temperature is in the mid position. Thank You. Read More...
Richard July 15, 2012 for Model Number F22cw13 Defrost timer AP5306796, how long does it stay in defrost?

Mphilips June 22, 2012 for Model Number Frigidaire freezer LFFC1466DW1 I have purchased a new defrost timer PN:297318010. I thought I would test it before I installed it, but there was infinite resistance across all terminals at both positions on the advance knob. Does it have to have power applied to it before it will test properly?
1 Answer M, No you do not need to apply 120 VAC to the timer to activate the circuits. You should not read closed circuits on all the terminals at the same time here's a quick easy test. Term.1 (blu) to term. 3 (wht) should have resistance or "closed" circuit at all times, this is the timer motor. Term.1 (blu) to term. 4 (yell) will have a closed circuit when the timer is in the cooling mode(longest increment) When the timer advances, is advanced into the defrost mode(shorter increment), term. 1 (blu) and term.2 (orng) is "closed, to the defrost heater / thermostat, and term 1 (blu) to term 4 (yel) opens. Blue to yellow and blue to orange should not have "closed circuits at the same time. Make sure you label and disconnect the wire harness from the timer before you test the circuits. Thanks Read More...
Francis C. June 21, 2012 for Model Number AAFU2066DW1 The freezer quit running. I had to turn defroster control switch knob three clicks and it turned on and after that the freezer will not shut off. Replaced defrost thermostat- Part # AP4374171 and this did not help. Freezer gets plenty cold. Door seal in good shape. Thanks FC
1 Answer Hi Francis. If you have to manually advance the defrost timer the it is due time to replace it. The motor or the internal contacts have stuck shut not allowing the timer's normal adcancements. Timer,defrost,115v,tab Item Number: 5304518034. Thank You. Read More...
