Dan May 19, 2021 for Model Number PSS26MSWC Freezer temp at 18F and Refrigerator up to 56F. Ice making has always been a problem with meting Ice and re-freezing. Disassembled back of freezer to change the temp sensor and found the fan is not running either. How do I know if its not the main board? I don't have a multimeter.
1 Answer Dan, Without a multimeter to do some basic checks then it is just a guess as to what is actually going on and which parts to change. With the temps that you have indicated you could also have a sealed system issue. Read More...
Tim September 23, 2019 for Model Number GSHF5KGXBCWW Fan runs but is running in a slow speed. Evp. looks good, not freezing up. I noticed on the control board two of the resistors wire ends were dark as if they had gotten hot also the board itself around the resistors is brown. Can these caused the fan motor slow speed or any other concern for the ref. operations.
1 Answer Tim, If the fan is only running at a low speed, causing cooling issues then this would be a control board issue as it will control the speed of the motor. Read More...
James March 04, 2019 for Model Number gshf5kgxdcww My fan appears to be making a noise, like a whirring noise. When pushing on the fan evaporator cover, it appears to change the level of noise.
1 Answer James, the fan can wear over time and cause a whirring noise as the shaft starts to have a wobble to it. Pressing on the evaporator cover can provide enough of a pressure to quiet the noise but you will want to check the fan motor to ensure that it the issue. It may be possible that a fastener came slightly loose and can cause this as well. Read More...
Doug July 06, 2017 for Model Number GSS25QGTGCC I am trying to replace the evaporater fan. My configuration is a little different then the unit in your video. I have removed the panel but the fan is behind an upper panel that has the two lights on the bottom. The ice maker motor assembly is above the upper panel. Do I have to remove it to remove the upper panel to access the fan motor? I have a picture of the back of the freezer as it now stands if that would be useful.
1 Answer Doug, You would need to remove the upper panel to be able to replace the evaporator fan motor on this unit. Read More...
John K August 25, 2016 for Model Number GE GSHS5KGXBCSS Is the evaporator motor wr60x10307 manufactured by GE?
1 Answer Hello John. This motor is a OEM GE part but we are not sure who manufactured it. Thank you. Read More...
James E October 18, 2015 for Model Number gce21lgwfss My freezer fan wr6ox10307 stopped working. The freezer is far from normal freezing and ice maker is uncapable of making ice. Are both things are because of the fan?
1 Answer James, Yes the evaporator fan motor not running would cause the freezer and fresh food to not be cold enough and will cause the icemaker to not make ice. Read More...
John June 16, 2015 for Model Number PSHS6RGXCDSS Evaporator fan motor stopped working. I removed the motor, how do I check the motor with a digital multimeter to see if it needs to be replaced? Thank you John
1 Answer Hello John. You will need to test for power coming to the fan motor. If it is there, then you will need to replace your fan motor. If it is not there, you will need to replace the main board. Read More...
Rodo March 24, 2015 for Model Number PSS26MSTASS The freezer gets warm sometimes (every few months). The temperature reader goes up to about 10F or 11F (normal is 0F). There was frost inside the freezer (rear). The next day the freezer is at 0F and there are some frozen droplets inside (rear) the freezer. The fridge is fine. I tested the voltage at J2-3 and J2-4 for the evaporator motor (after leaving the freezer door open for 3 minutes). The voltage was zero until the compressor kicked on. Then it showed 2v, then after a few seconds it show 6v until it got to 12v or so. Will this be an evaporator motor or main board problem? Thanks
1 Answer Rodo, Based on the voltage reading that you are getting it sounds like the motor and control are communicating and have the proper voltage. With frost being on the rear wall would sound more likely to be a defrost issue. You can check the defrost limiter to see if it has continuity. If it does not have continuity then you would not need to change it out. You will also want to check the defrost thermistor for resistance. The resistance values should be as follows, 42.5K at 0 degrees, 14.4k at 37 degrees and 5K ohms at 77 degrees. If not within range then it would need to be replaced. If it checks good then also check the defrost heater for continuity. If no continuity then replace and if good with continuity and all other components check ok then you would need a new main control board. 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...
Catherine January 09, 2015 for Model Number panasonic fan motor wr60x10307 My refrigerators' fan motor stopped working and had to be replaced, however, I live abroad and I was not able to find the exact part. The new fan motor we put in does not have the sensor that the original part brings. How does this affect the refrigerators' operation? Can this replacement cause further functioning problems? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Catherine, This sensor is necessary for the proper temperature to be maintained in the unit. This could also set a fault code in the control since it will be looking for the signal from this sensor. Read More...
Murat November 27, 2013 for Model Number GE model PSC23MSTE SS fridge/freezer. The fridge side is not cooling to 37 degree set point (only down to 42). Any suggestions? Thank you. Murat
1 Answer Murat, You will want to check to make sure that the thermistors in the unit are good. Check the resistance of the thermistors for the refrigerator section. Here is a list of resistance measurements for the thermistor and if outside of range then would need to be replaced. Thermistor Resistance Temperature(°F)Temperature(°C)Resistance in Kilo-Ohms -40 -40 166.8 kO -31 -35 120.5 kO -22 -30 88.0 kO -13 -25 65.0 kO -4 -20 48.4 kO 5 -15 36.4 kO 14 -10 27.6 kO 23 -5 21.0 kO 32 0 16.3 kO 41 5 12.7 kO 50 10 10.0 kO 59 15 7.8 kO 68 20 6.2 kO 77 25 5.0 kO 86 30 4.0 kO 95 35 3.2 kO 104 40 2.6 kO 113 45 2.2 kO 122 50 1.8 kO 131 55 1.5 kO 140 60 1.2 kO Note: To accurately test a thermistor, place the thermistor in a glass of ice water (approximately 33°F) for several minutes and check for approximately 16K O.
