Julio May 02, 2012 for Model Number dsf25kgta bg I replaced the heater element,because it was freezing,,,but the right side of the refrigerator is not cold....please can you help me
1 Answer Julio, Did you check or replace the damper assembly. WR49X10091, and are you sure the freezer evaporator fan WR60X10185 is running, and at the proper speed. Both of these components control the air to the refrigerator, if the damper does not open, or the fan does not run, the refrigerator side will get warm/ not cool. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
Reaper1 Inc May 01, 2012 for Model Number ge gsh25sgpc ss my stainless steel fridge iced up in the freezer coils .i tested everything you recomended and had a bad freezer thermistor replaced it ,it seems to work ok but i noticed now if you leave the freezer door open and out it into liner protection mode the defrost heater comes on ?do i have a bad defrost limiter also i did the test with the middle blue wire and the orange wire testing ohms and it read 21.6 the range is 15 to 25 ohms ?whats up with this fridge?thanks
1 Answer Reaper1, Are you sure you don't have a crossed wire or wires touching each other ? the defrost heater should not come on in the "liner Protection" mode. The damper usually closes and the fans will turn on but not the heater. " As part of the liner protection system, after three minutes of door-open time, on side-by-side models the refrigerator damper will automatically close when the fan starts. On top-mounts, no damper is used in the air channel at all. Therefore, only the fan will run within this same three-minute door opening scenario. 1. The fan (evaporator or fresh food) comes on after three minutes of door-open time. This function protects the liner from the heat of the light bulbs. 2) The fan motor may modulate (shift speeds) or it may not during this period." Good Luck and Thanks Read More...

Dan October 04, 2011 for Model Number TFX26CRDA ww My freezer coils were frozen. I thawed the coils then installed a new 12" heater. Put everything back together; however, the freezer side is nice and cold but the the other side is not cooling below room temp. HELP!
1 Answer Hello Dan. Check and make sure the fan motor WR60X10008 inside the freezer is running properly. If not, it will cause the refrigerator not to get cold. Also make sure you didn't unplug any wires going to the motor when installing the heater assembly, and the coils are clean from all the ice build up. Hope this helps. Read More...
Helen September 08, 2011 for Model Number gsh25kgmdbb I have replaced the heater but all the coils are still freezing. Not sure where to go at this point WR51X10055 is the part number for the heater I used. Any help would be really appreciated.
1 Answer Hello Helen. You will need to test the thermostat WR50X10068. It should read closed when cold. If it is good, you will need to replace the main control board WR55X10942C. 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...
Sam August 10, 2011 for Model Number GSS25QFMB WW My evaporator is completely frosted. I have continuity thru my heater. I pulled my defrost thermostat and it also has continuity even when held in my hand. Shouldn't it be open when warm? Seems like this should cause me to stay in defrost too much instead of not-enough.
1 Answer Hello Sam. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the thermostat WR50X10068 and main board WR55X10942C. Will need to be replaced. The thermostat should open at room temperature. Hope this helps. Read More...
