Craig January 20, 2022 for Model Number 253.70343410 Hello, After a power surge I have replaced the interface, main control board and inverter to get the fridge running. The remaining problem is the water in the door freezes up. When it stops working I turn the fridge off for 2 hours (1 is not enough) then it works. The ice maker is working fine. Thanks, Craig
1 Answer Craig, it would be recommended that the internal temperature of the refrigerator is verified with a thermometer and that the door gaskets are inspected for an air leak that could be causing the refrigerator to call for more cold air than it should. If this checks okay, the door would likely have an air gap in the insulation causing the water tube to freeze up. Read More...
Craig January 09, 2022 for Model Number 253.70343410 Hello, I asked the question below last night but it was incorrect. Nothing is getting cold and the LED has some bright and some faded digits. I have an old interface that worked but had bad LED's. I saved it to use in an emergency. I installed it and I still don't have any cooling. Is there a way to check the part suggested below (look for visual bunt board) and a wiring diagram available? Also is there a video for this part. I want to order what I need today. Thanks, Craig Hello, After a power surge and power failure our freezer will cool but not the fridge. I went through all of the options to check the settings. Do you think it's the interface? Thanks Craig for Model Number 253.70343410 ANSWER Craig, if the freezer will reach proper temperatures, it is likely that the main control 242115283 was damaged by the surge and is not properly sensing temperatures. However, power surges can cause failures throughout an appliance.
1 Answer Craig, the compressor and fans would need to be inspected to see if they are operating. If they are not operating at all, the main control would be the cause of failure. If the fans are operating but the compressor is not, the inverter 5304512686 would need to be tested for 12VDC from the red wire to the black wire on the same connector. If there is voltage, the inverter has failed. If there is not, the main control 242115283 has failed. Read More...
