Scott April 14, 2020 for Model Number ge refrigerator gfsf6kky correct plug in position for refrigerator defrost heater and defrost thermostat on 3 plug in outlet?
1 Answer Hello Scott, according to the manufacturer , top position is the bimetal thermostat (red and black), the middle position is the defrost heater (tan wires), the bottom position is the thermistor (yellow wires). Read More...
Jeff May 07, 2019 for Model Number GE Profile PFSS6PKX The Bimetal WR02X12592 and WR02X12591 are always closed (continuity). Checked them at room temperature, cold and warm and do not change, always gave .3 Ohm with continuity. Do I need to change them?
1 Answer Hello Jeff, Both of these components, WR02X12592 and WR02X12591, should read continuity when below about 20°F. When above 50°F they should read open. Any other reading would constitute a bad part as per the manufacturer. Read More...
Kevin January 11, 2018 for Model Number GFSF6KKYEBB I need to know what my ohm measurements should be when the bimetal switch is opened and closed. The switch seems to be open all the time right now and the evaporator coils are icing over.
1 Answer Hello Kevin, The defrost thermostat should be open, (no continuity), at room temperature. It should close at about 20°F and read no resistance. Read More...
Jeff Ceban June 02, 2016 for Model Number PFSS6PKXCSS I am having an evaporation, defrost, and drainage issue within the rear portion of the upper compartment where the evaporator coil is located. I have read several post that say check for continuity or check the tolerances on the following parts, but no one will provide the tolerances for the parts so that you know the value you should see when you check them with a multi meter. Bi-Metal Switch Temp Sensor Heater Metal Sheath Defrost Thermostat Evaporator Fan Also, I observed ice cluster surrounding the area where the evaporator coil is fed with freon. The compressor was also too hot to leave my hand on it. So I guess I have a couple questions. Can you provide the values for the listed parts so that I know what to look for when I check them with my multi meter ? Also, does it sound like I have an issue with the sealed system ?
1 Answer Hello Jeff. If there is a cluster of ice there, then the issue is not a defrost issue, it is a sealed system failure. You will need an HVAC tech to repair the unit. The defrost thermostat and heater should read closed for continuity when cold. The temp sensor is around 10K at room temp. You test fan motor for power. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Hai December 02, 2015 for Model Number GFSS6KKXASS My GE Model GFSS6KKXASS is having defrost issues, (not defrosting). It was completely iced over and because of a frozen drain tube running water under the crisper drawers. I checked the heater was good. I replaced Bimetal, Temp. sensor and Main circuit control board, but did not fix the problem. What else should I check and how I check? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Hai. If you have replaced all of those parts, you will need to order and replace the heater on the unit. It could be a case of it testing good, but breaking down under a load. Read More...
Hai November 04, 2015 for Model Number GE Model GFSS6KKXASS My GE Model GFSS6KKXASS is having defrost issues, (not defrosting). It was completely iced over and because of a frozen drain tube running water under the crisper drawers. I checked the heater was good. What else should I check and how I check?
1 Answer Hello Hai, If the defrost thermostat WR02X12591 tests closed when cold, the issue will most likely be the main control board WR55X10805. Read More...
Ernie B March 11, 2013 for Model Number GFSS6KXASS My GE Model GFSS6KKXASS is having Refer defrost issues (basicly not doing it!) It was completly iced over and because of a frozen drain tube running water under the crisper drawers. After a time consuming defrost (by hand) I made my way to the parts in question. I suspect the bi-metal over temp stat but took some resistance readings all all three parts while I was in there (heater strip, thermister & bi-metal). The refrigerator error code the control panel shows on initial start up is (R1c = Refer Defrost sensor part error). My questions are: 1) Does this code direct me to the bi-meatl as opposed to the thermister? 2) based on these readings i got is a diferent part more likely ? (heater strip - 105 ohms , did NOT tone continuity?) (thermister - 2.6 Mohms in ice water) (bi metal - .2 ohms IN or OUT of ice water) thanks for the help- Ernie
1 Answer Ernie, Based on the readings that you got the problem would be the thermistor WR55X10025. The thermistor at 77 degrees should read 2.7 ohms and if the unit if frosted up and the thermistor is sitting in ice then the resistance would be more around 42.5K ohms. Read More...
Dave January 16, 2013 for Model Number PFSF6PKXCBB I bought part # WR02X12592 and had to unplug all three plugs to replace this part and don't rember how they were plugged in. I have a black, white and blue plugs can you tell me the order that they get pluged in.
1 Answer Hello Dave, The plug ins for this unit are all plug specific. This means that you cannot put the wrong plug in the wrong spot. We do not have a diagram that show us which one goes to which connector. Read More...
