Tom October 15, 2024 for Model Number 795.77242600 Bottom freezer drawer get too warm during defrost cycle melting ice and starting to melt food. It then freezes hard and the moisture from thawing turns to ice on the drawer slides. It freezes so hard it becomes impossible to pull the drawer open. Do I need a new defrost thermostat? The gasket seems fine and I make sure the drawer is tightly shut. Both freezer and refrigerator stay cold except during this cycle.
1 Answer Hello Tom, thank you for contacting Appliance Parts Pros. This sounds like it would be the defrost sensor [OEM13371515] or the main control [OEM13444532]. Read More...
Joe December 30, 2023 for Model Number lfx25976st 13 year old fridge. Freezer cold but not freezing. Ice maker not making ice. Compressor seems to be working. Upper fridge temp seems to be ok. Freezer sensor or defrost sensor? 3 door fridge.
1 Answer Joe, You will want to check to see if there is a frost pattern on the evaporator coils for the freezer. If there is very little frost then this will be a sealed system problem that will require service. Read More...
Frederick June 20, 2023 for Model Number LFC22740ST My ice maker was not working and i replaced the water control valve thinking that was the issue. The water flow is fine to the valve but does not work. does the defrost control regulate the ice maker, i say this because I place ice trays in the freezer and they take several days to freeze, and the contents of the freezer are still frozen. Could the defroster control be the real problem and need to be replaced? Thank you Fred Hilliard
1 Answer Fredrick, This sounds like it would be a temperature issue with the freezer and would recommend checking the temperature of the freezer compartment and determining why the temperature is not correct. Read More...

Charles July 05, 2019 for Model Number mtb1956ge My Maytag refrigerator does not cool anymore. I may have overloaded it with food for the holiday and restricted cooling. Now the fan is running but it is not cooling.
1 Answer Hello Charles, There are several things you will need to check. First off, is the center divider hot to the touch? If so, the condenser fan in the rear of the unit will need to be checked. If it is running, there is something blocking the air flow through the condenser coils behind the unit. If not, replace the fan motor WP61005323 if it is getting power but not running. If no problem is found with the condenser fan motor you will need to check to see if the compressor is running. If not and the compressor is hot, the start relay W11285096 has most likely failed. If it is running and the compressor is cool, you will need a Freon certified technician to diagnose and repair the sealed system. Read More...
Ron August 08, 2018 for Model Number LFX23965ST Error code er dh, I see this was asked however the answer replaced the model number top be LFX23961ST. Are you suggesting both these model numbers are the same?
1 Answer Ron, the error code for your model is still refering to a defrost error, it states that the defrost sensor has not reached 46 degrees within 1 hour after starting defrost. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Joe, the fuse should be located on the evaporator coils like shown on the video listed under part number 6615JB2005C. Thanks! Read More...
Jay April 26, 2018 for Model Number LG GN 205VW Automatic defrost is not working. Checked resistance test with heater and thermostats. My heater resistance reading was shown 610 ohms. Is that faulty?
1 Answer Jay, The defrost heater resistance sounds like it is overly high and would be faulty and need to be replaced. Read More...
Vinnie October 20, 2017 for Model Number 209TRMFOHO59 Recently purchased LG GR-389-R (tall, skinny fridge) It wasn't cooling in the upper refrigerator compartment, but the lower freezer was nice and cold. The evaporator coils inside were covered in frost. I checked OHMS on the thermistor, went from 16.5 ambient, up to about 18.2 submerged in a glass of ice water. I checked continuity across the defrost heater element, my meter doesn't beep but just displayed 60-something. Since we defrosted the heat exchanger it's working well, but will probably relapse when the frost comes back.
1 Answer Hello Vinnie, This sounds like the defrost circuit does have an issue but we are unfortunately unable to pull up parts for Canadian models. You should test the defrost thermostat and check the electronic defrost control board since these are common failures on this design. Read More...
