Nancy January 13, 2024 for Model Number LSS25XSTASS Changed out defrost heater & bracket Assembly, defrost thermostat, sensor, and fan motor with temperature sensor. Now I am smelling a strong electrical smell. No sign of burning wires. What could the problem be and how do I fix it?
1 Answer Nancy, while a new defrost heater can produce an odor during its first heat, it should not produce an electrical smell. Unfortunately, this can come from any electrical connection and the only way to pinpoint where it may be occurring would be to identify the origin of the odor by following it to the area it is strongest.

Ivy January 18, 2023 for Model Number GSE25HMHEHES I'm having the apparently common issue where ice accumulates on the evaporator. I've defrosted and replaced the Bi-Metal Thermostat and defrost heater. So far nothing has changed. After a few weeks the refrigerator temperature starts to rise again. Is there any way I could've plugged in the defrost heater incorrectly? Are there are any other parts I should replace?
1 Answer Ivy, Thanks for the question!!! If all the sensors and heater are replaced and good, the control board WR55X40445 would be the likely issue. The wires could not be connected wrong but you could have a poor connection. Check to make sure all the connections are tight. Read More...
Andrew W January 15, 2023 for Model Number GSH25JFTAWW In early December I noticed my refrigerator seemed warmer than usual. Using a freezer/refrigerator thermometer I found the temperature was around 50 degrees. The freezer side was fine at just above zero. As I have used Appliance Parts Pros in the past, I started with your website to see what could be the cause. Based on numerous questions and answers I have done the following: 1. Defrosted the evap coil. 2. Per Q&A answers, I then checked resistance of the defrost heater and defrost thermostat. All values were consistent with with Q&A answers. I did notice the defrost heater was very discolored and actually looks like a burned out bulb. It is so bad I thought that it was the problem. 3. Per the answers this pointed to the main control board. Ordered and installed the board. This seemed to correct the problem. But after about a week, I again noticed the refrigerator was getting warm. So I removed the evap coil cover panel and found it iced over again. 4. Thawed the coils again and let it run. Once again, the evap coil started icing over after about 10 days. I did notice it was not as bad as before. Do you have any other suggestions?
1 Answer Andrew W, Based on the information provided the heater would be suggested, also check the defrost thermostat to make sure it is not open, stopping the power to the heater, Read More...

Jim September 11, 2022 for Model Number GSS25JFMDWW tl;dr issue. After manually jumping the heating coil via the mainboard ... it turns on, however, there appears to be many dark patches. Question. Do heater elements either work or don't work ... or could they also somewhat work at reduced heat output? Longer version: Seems like after a few months my coils freeze over, and I have to go in a manually defrost them. At first, I thought maybe the heater coil or sensor was dead. I manually checked them with my multimeter and it seemed to check out. One day I noticed the water dripping in the back so I knew the heater element had clicked on but couldn't get eyes on the element at that time. Few months later, after the coils were frozen over, I went and manually jumped the heating element to get eyes on the element. It does in fact glow orange but appears to have several dark patches. So, could it be heating but not fully heating up which leads to the eventual freezing up of the coils? Just want to know before I drop 90 bucks on a heating element....or could I have another issue leading to the coils freezing up over time.
1 Answer Jim, It most likely is not the element that is causing this but more likely the evaporator sensor that is faulty. The part number that would be needed will be WR55X10025. Read More...
