Terrance July 06, 2021 for Model Number TPX24PPDABB Finally got the fridge/freezer cleared out & deiced. It's a garage location so no need for icemaker but was puzzled by all the electrical connections that would be left dangling if I don't reinstall it. Also, this model has the shelf supports screwed to the back corners which have to come off before the rear freezer wall allowing access to the defrost heater. Any hints/suggestions? Used to be an aviation mechanic...have lots of tools.
1 Answer Terrance, it would be recommended that every electrical component is installed as it is originally designed as this will ensure there are no electrical shorts that could occur. Read More...
Lily August 27, 2018 for Model Number GSL25JFPABS The defrost heater wire appears brown or rusted looking at the insertion tips , for the part that attaches into the lamp, could that be an issue and are there replacement wires since we have a new defroster. Also we the defrost thermostat that we have is the wrong one with the unit and we need to get the correct one~ Of course the refrig is not cooling and the freezer is not cool enough~
1 Answer Lily, Part # WR50X10068 is your defrost thermostat.Wires that connect to the heater shpild have a plastic sheath as long as you get a good connection there shouldn't be an issue.You can always defrost the unit manually and it should work fine until you recieve your parts. Read More...
Bill October 15, 2016 for Model Number 36359572994 I asked a question about the evaporator tube pressing against the new defrost heater bracket and you said the bracket does not get hot enough to hit the evaporator tube, however, you said to make sure its not touching the plastic liner...my question is...what plastic liner are you talking about...the plastic zip tie?
1 Answer Hello Bill, This was referring to the plastic liner of the compartment. The inside of the freezer compartment, or the "walls" of the freezer. Read More...
Bill August 18, 2016 for Model Number 36359572994 I have installed the new defrost heater, however, even after I tied the evaporator tube to the back wall so that I could get the new defrost heater in, a good portion of the evaporator tube is still in contact with the lower side of the defrost heater bracket. Is this ok? I'm not sure how hot the defrost heater bracket will get and how much heat will transfer onto the evaporator tube laying on the bracket. Also not sure what will happen if a lot of heat is transfer onto the evaporator tube. Could you let me know what you think...thanks
1 Answer Hello Bill. It should be fine. It does not get hot enough to hurt that. Just make sure it is not touching the plastic liner. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Skippy. It sounds like you may have a defrost problem with the unit. Check and see if there is any frost build up on the evaporator coils in the freezer. If so, you will need to test the defrost heater and the defrost thermostat. They should read closed for continuity when cold. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. I will include a link at the end to assist you how to use the multi-meter if needed. If both parts are good, you will need to replace the defrost timer. Once the problem is repaired, you will need to thaw out the ice on the coils before the unit will operate properly. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Vera B June 19, 2013 for Model Number AP2071521 (wr51x10029) We need to replace this part. We can't find any instructions. Could we have your help to install it.
1 Answer Vera, To replace the defrost heater, you will need to disconnect power to the unit. Remove the shelving in the freezer compartment. Take the rear cover off the back of the freezer compartment. Unplug the connector at the top for the heater and thermostat assembly and take out the 2 screws that hold the heater in place and remove. Reinstall in reverse. Read More...
