Miguel August 09, 2021 for Model Number G22010 Traulsen freezer 2door model G22010. I changed out a seized fan, however now it won't drop down to desired temperature. It is cold, just not being too a freeze temperature. Also, there is a bit of a smell that i can only describe as if it is rancid. Not pungent, but enough for anyone that opens the door to smell it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Jim July 05, 2021 for Model Number Kenmore Elite 79574015411 refrigerator Refrigerator compartment does not cool down completely. Refrigerator evaporator coils are cold. Fan does not come on. Door alarm beeps. I understand that if the door is open or the temperature is warm it will alarm. How can I tell which part has failed, door sensor, control board or could it be the temperature sensor.
1 Answer Jim, You can test the door switches to make sure that they are good by testing for continuity. If the door switches are good but the fan is not coming on check to make sure that the fan is getting power to it and if it is then the fan is the issue. The sensors can be tested for resistance at the control board and the resistance will depend on the temperature inside the unit. At 70 degrees it should have a resistance of 5K ohms. If all this checks ok then the control board will be the most likely cause. Read More...
Mario June 20, 2021 for Model Number 795-7402-5411 The compressor is able to be heard the lights and everything turns on but it will not keep cool and it no longer freezes/makes ice, fan from the is running, I checked continuity in the temperature sensor but it shows nothing.
1 Answer Mario, If the compressor is running, check the evaporator coils to see if the coils have frost on them. If they do not have any frost or have very little frost then this will be a sealed system issue in which service will be required. Read More...
Dustin June 05, 2021 for Model Number LFX28968ST I replaced the evaporator fans for both compartments and the temperature sensor. The refrigerator gets to temperature eventually but neither fans work in normal operation. They work only on test bottom mode on the control board. The defrosting cycling still works as well as in test mode. What needs to be done to restore fans to work during normal compressor cycles?
1 Answer Dustin, as the sensors and fans have been replaced, the main control has failed and would need to be replaced. To ensure the correct control is identified, there should be a series number that would be necessary. Another part identifier would be retrieving the part number from the original part itself.

Grilledchicken February 17, 2021 for Model Number Kenmore elite 795.69004.900 my refrigerator would not get cold, no air blowing up.. control with temperature display for the refrigerator side would but ok when you first plug the unit in, but afterward, it would go out and only the freezer display is lit with numbers 5 and 6 lite.. but I can't change anything on the temp controls... nothing comes up from the freezer. the freezer does not stay cold but is about 28 F. I changed the control board... checked the compressor and it seems to be working... it draws 1amp when first startup and then drops to .88am. the 3 pin reading on the compressor is 4.5, 3.4, 7.7. I checked the refrigerator sensor from the Molex plug in the back that plugs into the control board and I get 12.35k OHMs when it was about 68F inside the top fridge. I also checked the freezer sensor and I got a reading of 6.12k Ohms when the freezer was about 28-32 degrees. do I have a bad freezer temp sensor ?? I checked the resistor chart and my freezer sensor should get a reading of around 8-9k ohms at 28 -32 F ?? let me know. should I also check my defrost resistor? thanks
1 Answer Grilledchicken, the freezer sensor 6500JB2002T is going to be out of tolerance as the resistance noted would indicate about 40°F. It would be recommended that the defrost sensor and fuse assembly 6615JB2005C is tested for continuity on the fuse and the heater (part of the evaporator assembly 5421JJ1001A which has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available) be tested for 120VAC within 5 seconds of the refrigerator power cord being plugged in. If the heater gets voltage and does not heat, it has failed. If the fuse does not have continuity, it has failed and would prevent 120VAC from reaching the defrost heater. Read More...
John Doe December 01, 2020 for Model Number 79574033412 Refrigerator not cooling but icemaker and freezer okay. The evaporator coil did not have any ice on them and did notice no air flow through refrigerator what is the problem.
1 Answer John, you'll need to access and check the main control board EBR83806901/EBR83806901 Refrigerator electronic control board for cracks, damage loose connections, and discolored/burnt areas on the board and components. Then check the AJU74892401/] AJU73872501 Refrigerator refrigerant valve for operation this valve distributes the refrigerant to the two compartments(either compartment as needed), it may be "stuck" or failed. The valve or other repairs would be a sealed system issue and would require a certified refrigerant repair technician to perform any repairs. Thanks, Read More...
John Doe December 01, 2020 for Model Number 79574033412 Refrigerator not cool but freezer and ice maker working okay. The evaporator coils where not frozen over what can be the problem?
1 Answer John, was there an even frost pattern across the evaporator top to bottom and front to back? Could you hear or feel the air movement from the evaporator fan motor [ADJ73252246] Refrigerator fresh food evaporator cover and fan(tape the door switch down). There may be a loose connection in the [ACM73919214] Refrigerator freezer temperature sensor, at the wall connector to make sure the sensor is communicating with the main control board. Read More...
Manny November 09, 2020 for Model Number 795.71603.012 My unit is a Kenmore 795.71603.012. I was able to locate one temperature sensor at the freezer (I believe is part ACQ73244001) and one at the refrigerator (maybe 6500JB2001B ?) Which reading should I be getting at 32F and 77F on the fridge sensor and which at the refrigerator sensor? I'm getting 2.54KOhm Room Temperature and 6.57KOhm at 32F (Sensor in ice water) on the Freezer sensor, not sure if this is correct or it should be replaced.
1 Answer Manny, at 77°F the resistance would be 11kO and at 32°F, the resistance would be 30KO for the refrigerator sensor 6500JB2001B. For the freezer sensor ACQ73244001, the resistance would be 2.5kO at 77°F and 7.8kO at 32°F. Read More...
Edwin September 01, 2020 for Model Number 79572053114 model ser. no305kr02393 refri works proper defrost and stays at assigned temp (defrost perfectly) i know that refri works on a different cycle than freezer. the freezer has different coil ( defrost) checked heating coil in freezer resistance read 0 on Rx1 continuity. Don't have a schematic so does the freeze have a complete circuit for defrost. which means half of control board could be bad. how to test both circuit to tell which is bad. thanks getting on nerves.
1 Answer Edwin, Unfortunately, we do not have the wiring schematic on this unit but you would test the defrost heater, defrost thermistor to make sure that they are good and if they are good then you would replace the control board. The control board will control each defrost circuit differently. The defrost heater should have a resistance reading and if it is showing 0 resistance then the heater would be faulty. The thermistor reading should be around 5K at room temperature and there is a fuse next to the filter that should have continuity. Read More...
Edwin August 27, 2020 for Model Number 79572053114 The freezer evaporator does not defrost. I have replaced the defrost assembly twice. Could it be that the temp sensor is bad?
1 Answer Edwin, as the defrost sensor assembly ACM73919214 has been replaced, it would be recommended that the defrost heater MEE62225101 is tested for resistance. The defrost heater should measure between 41O to 46O. It is possible that the temperature sensor ACQ73244001 could have failed, however, if the freezer is reaching proper temperatures and cycling the compressor off before the evaporator gets blocked up, it would be less likely that the sensor is the issue.
