Tuan August 29, 2021 for Model Number Kenmore Elite 79574023411 Year 2015 Our freezer was initially not keeping things completely frozen. I cleared everything out of the freezer. I did troubleshooting on the circuit board on the back with the test button and none of the green lights were flashing. The fans and compressor/condenser seem to be working (are vibrating and are warm to the touch). Neither the fridge nor the freezer are cold enough; they are cool, but not cold enough to be at the correct temp. The ice maker in the door has also stopped working. I ordered a replacement for the thermistor because I tested it and it said it was at 2.3 OHM. What do you think I should be checking next if the it is not the thermistor? Could it be the control assembly? Or is it something else? What else should I troubleshoot?
1 Answer Tuan, as the compressor was running, if there is not a heavy frost pattern on the evaporator there would be a sealed system failure that would require an EPA certified tech to diagnose and repair. Read More...
Adam May 06, 2021 for Model Number LG LFXC24726S/00 I was looking at the case parts diagram, specifically at the defrost assembly control for the freezer. The diagram shows it is 400A which corresponds to part AP604251, but when clicking on the video for that part it shows the tech replacing it the fresh food compartment. I checked the fresh food compartment 401A which corresponds to part AP5325101 and that video shows replacing it in the freezer. Not sure if the video link is in the wrong spot or the part numbers are incorrect. Can you please confirm which defrost assembly control is for the freezer? Also can you confirm the the defrost heater is part AP5978772?
1 Answer Adam, the defrost control assembly ACM73919214 and the defrost heater MEE62225112 would be used in the freezer of the model provided. In regards to the video, the video for the defrost assembly at location 401A can be used as a reference. Read More...
Stacy Patterson October 31, 2020 for Model Number kenmore elite model 795.74043.411 Want to know what the Ohm readings should be for the Refrigerator Defrost Sensor Assembly 6615JB2005R We are getting 11.9 Ohm @20K and 200K for the orange and we are getting 0 Ohm all the way up from the bottom to 20M for the Red wires. What are the readings supposed to be. The issue we are having is that the Refrigerator Evaporator builds up with ice on the top left and then the ice moves to the top right. The bottom of the Evaporator has no ice build up... just the top. The Ohm reading of the heater is 83.5 Ohm @200 (lowest end) We bought the following part (Refrigerator Defrost Sensor Assembly 6615JB2005R ) to replace thinking this might be the issue... maybe the fuse blew? Can you give us your best guess if we got this right or if we are missing something? Thank you, Stacy
1 Answer Stacy P, The issue is a sealed system issue and you would need a certified technician for this repair. It's not a defrost issue. Read More...
Alfonso Vaca May 17, 2020 for Model Number Kenmore Elite 795.74025.411 I have a problem from about 8 months with my refrigerator which stops freezing and cooling completely, so I just unplug the refrigerator to reset and wait 10 min to plug it and it works again for a period of 3 weeks and it returns to the same problem. A few weeks ago, a repairman came diagnosis the damaged compressor and replaced it, he charged the system to specs, it worked about one month but again the same problem, I don't have codes on the panel. Is there a way to test the "Svc Pcb Assembly, onboarding", or should I just replace it? Any other part that would be likely to have fail. I appreciate your help, I'm desperate for this problem and would not like to spend on another item again, thank you very much.
1 Answer Alfonso, You can test the power to the compressor and from the board. There is a rewrite that has to be done when this compressor is replaced and if it was not then this could be the issue and the part number would be CJT30000002 for the rewrite kit. Read More...
Allan January 06, 2020 for Model Number 795.72062.212 I put a new control board in as the unit would not run. Now the compressor will run sounds good warms up but the fans in both compartments will not run any ideas? Allan
1 Answer Allan, it is recommended that the control is tested at connection CON6. On the left side of the connector is a yellow and black wire, a blue wire, and a grey wire next to each other. With the black probe of a meter on the grey wire and the red probe on the blue wire, there should be a DC voltage measurement of 12VDC. If not, then the main control CSP30021077 is faulty (same as when testing the freezer fan motor). If there is 12VDC, then the red probe will need to be moved to the yellow and black wire and if it reads 0VDC or 5VDC, then the RF fan motor EAU65089701 needs to be replaced. The FZ fan would be tested at CON7 and the 4th, 5th, and 6th wires from the left at the bottom of the connector would be tested. The black probe of the meter will be placed at the 6th wire and the red probe at the 5th and it should measure 12VDC. Then the red probe would be moved to the 4th wire and if it measures 0VDC or 5VDC, the FZ fan motor EAU61524007 would need to be changed out. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Bob, you'll want to test the heater and defrost sensors for resistance. If these components test good more than likely the board part number EBR75234703 is the reason it no longer auto defrost. Thanks! Read More...
1 Answer Hello Eddie, we need a little more information first to be able to help you. First is either the fresh food or the freezer sections have any cooling at all,is anything working/running, interior lights, evaporator fan motors, the condenser fan motor by the compressor, can you tell if the compressor is running, does it feel cold/warm/hot, is it vibrating at all? If nothing is on or working is there 120v at the electrical outlet? Read More...
Yankeeinva March 10, 2019 for Model Number LFX31925SB A few weeks ago, a repairman came and replaced the compressor and dryer. He charged the system to specs. About a week later I get "F dH" code on the panel. Called the repairman and he says just unplug the refrigerator to reset. That worked for a short while, now the Freezer evaporator is completely iced over. The defrost coil has continuity. The frost pattern on the evaporator seems to be OK . Is there a way to test the "Controller Assembly", or should I just replace it? Any other part that would be likely to have failed. Thanks in advance for your advice.
1 Answer YankeeInVA, you may want to test the heater for resistance. The heater should read in between 41.8 to 46.2 ohms. If it is out of this tolerance, it can impact the heaters ability to function properly. Another concern could be the defrost sensor 6615JB2005R. At room temperature, the defrost sensor should read 11k ohms. At 5 degrees Fahrenheit the sensor should read 60.13k ohms, at -4 degrees Fahrenheit it should read 76.96k ohms. These would be the parts that you would want to check before replacing the main control [EBR75234703]. Read More...
Clay February 25, 2018 for Model Number AP5325101 Controller Assembly Part Number: AP5325101 Made by: LG My upper fridge section is sitting at 50-55F I replaced a fan a year ago from you guys and i just ordered a new one just in case it was the same issue when I took the back panel panel off and did a test mode the fan spins just fine. Could this sensor cause the fresh food chamber to stay hot due to the defrost cycle being stuck open?
1 Answer Clay, This controller could cause the unit to stay in defrost or not go into defrost. If it stays in defrost it would cause both sections to not cool properly. You would want to check the damper on the unit as well as make sure that the unit is going through the defrost cycle. Read More...
