Tom March 14, 2013 for Model Number Csx22grxd. Ww I have a Hotpoint refrigerator that runs constantly. I have recently installed a new defrost kit with thermostat, defrost timer, run capacitor, main thermostat for refrigerator. the model number is CSX22GRXDWW. The temperature in the freezer is minus 10, and refrigerator fluids freeze. What is the problem?
1 Answer Hello Tom, You have either installed a bad temperature control WR9X569, (new parts can be bad since they are man made) or the temperature controls sensing bulb has been mis-routed and it is not sensing the temperature properly. Read More...
Lb March 09, 2013 for Model Number TFX26PPDAWW In the beginning... Ice was melting in the freezer, dripping down from the ice bucket down to the floor. I would turn the temp control knob up to a highr temperature, but the refrigerator would not turn on. Not until I turned the temp knob back to zero would the unit enage and then I would turn up for cooler temp. Did this for a while. After cancelling a repairman, I purchased a Defrost Control Timer; installed it and everything was great for almost a complete 7 days. Then this morning another puddle of water. Again ice had melted and dripping. So, I'm deciding between replacing the Temp Control, a Defrost Thermostat or Refrigerator Deforst Heater Kit. Any sugestions would be appreciated.
1 Answer LB, If the temp control did not turn on until you got almost to off then you could adjust it then you may want to replace temp control. Read More...
Kh January 08, 2013 for Model Number TFH24PRSBAA Hello, I just purchased a defrost control timer, WR9X489. From your Q&A, it looks like it should be located near the temp control box at the inside upper part of the refrigerator section. I took plastic cover off there to reveal the light bulb and two temp control know. What do I need to do to see the control timer? Is it inside the temp control unit? If so, how do I take apart the temp control unit? Please give me detailed instructions. Thank you very much for your help.
1 Answer Hello KH, The defrost timer is located behind the plastic cover. Once cover is off there is a metal casing on the right hand side. There are screws holding the casing in place. Remove the screws and pull off. Remove screws holding the timer in place on the front of the metal casing and replace. Reinstall. Read More...

Simon E December 22, 2012 for Model Number tfx20jrbkww I have ge side by side refridgerater freezer ice building up inside back wall.
1 Answer Hello Simon, You will want to check continuity of the defrost heater and defrost thermostat. If either of these parts do not have continuity then they would need to be replaced. If both check ok then you would need to replace the defrost timer. 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...
Nick Carzoli December 10, 2012 for Model Number TFX22ZR SM I just replaced the thermostat and heaters for my GE TFX22ZR SM only to find the freezer freezing up again. Buddy of mine said "defrost timer" is the culprit. Can you tell me where it's located? Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Nick, the defrost timer WR9X489 is located behind the light shield up in the top of the fresh food section of your refrigerator. Hope this helps! Read More...
Jack P. October 25, 2012 for Model Number TFX26KRWW How long should the defrost cycle last, and how often should it occur? Thanks, Jack
1 Answer Hello Jack, The defrost cycle duration and cycle time is determined by the defrost timer in question. There are many designs to accommodate different cubic foot units and for different configuration machines. The one for the model number you listed is shown to be a 16hr./35min. This means that the unit will run for 16 hours before going into a 35 minute defrost cycle. After the 35 minutes in defrost, it will start another 16 hour run time before going back into defrost.

Jjones68 October 16, 2012 for Model Number TXF22CR I have a GE TFX22CR side by side. Both the freezer and fridge sides are loosing temperature. There is frost on the back wall of the freezer. I assume the problem is similiar to other posters here and that the culprits are either; defrost timer, defreost heater or defrost thermostat. Can you tell me the correct part#'s for my fridge? Is there a way to test the timer to determine if it is bad before I head into the freezer to check for continuity on the heater & thermostat? Thanks!
1 Answer Hello JJONES68, In order to get you the correct parts, we would need a complete model number. You model number has several more digits in it. The model given is only a base model perhaps from your owner's manual. You should be able to find a complete model number on the unit. Click on the "How to Find a Model Number" link on our web page if you need help finding it. You are on the right track in figuring out your problem, we just need to find your parts once you provide the complete model. Thanks! http://www.appliancepartspros.com/ Read More...
Melissa September 10, 2012 for Model Number TFX22CRBGBB We have replaced the defrost hearter, thermostat and timer. What is happening is our ice is melting during the defrost and then freezes making it unable for us to use the dispenser. Any ideas? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Melissa. You need to check and see if the cold control WR9X570 is bad and not letting the unit start after a defrost cycle. If so, replace the control. Read More...
Bj August 10, 2012 for Model Number TFX22CRBWW My GE refrigerator is cooling fine, but seems to be having trouble re-starting. I'm not sure yet whether it's failing to re-start after a defrost cycle, or just randomly. I can hear ticking coming from the defrost timer. After noticing that it wasn't running this evening, I moved the cooling lever to the off position and back a few times, and it re-started. So, I'm not sure if the problem is with the defrost control, the temperature control, or something else. Any suggestions? Thanks!
1 Answer Hello BJ. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the temperature control WR9X570 is bad and will need to be replaced in the unit. Read More...
