Vic August 30, 2024 for Model Number lfxc24726d is the temp sensor PN AP4441492 a polarity device ? your videos show just cut in the new sensor
Dondog September 17, 2023 for Model Number 795.71033.010 Freezer is cold. Ice maker USED to work fine, not sure now. The fan in the rear of fridge near the coils runs fine; coils are clean. Water drains into the drip pan back there fine. Behind the freezer panel ONE fan (on the right if you are looking at the fridge from the front) runs fine. The 2nd fan behind this same panel (for the ice maker?) doesn't run, NOR does the fan that is behind the panel above in the fresh foods compartment. I test the thermostat in the fresh foods compartment, and it reads about 12K ohms..... which seems to say that my thermostat thinks the fridge temp is around 15 Deg Farh right? I bought a new thermostats (#6500JB2001B) and it reads the same 12K Ohms. what is the correct Ohm rating for a new thermostat? (should be around 3 right?) Fridge has been unplegged for 2 days now so it's warm. When I plug it in, should all 4 fans normally start running right away to cool it all down? Why is my fresh foods area not cooling? THANK YOU!
1 Answer Dondog, With the fans not running, check to see if there is 12 vdc getting to the fans. If there is then the fans would be faulty and if there is not then this will be a faulty main control board. Read More...
Abdul August 19, 2023 for Model Number 79574023412 1. My refrigerort and freezer both not cooling, the fan at the back is working fine, compressor is hot and looks like working, the evaporator fan at the bottom freezer is not spinning so i guess this needs to replaced. but i saw there are two fans there. question is can the evaporator fan make the refrrigertor and freezer not cooling 2. question Does my model have two fans?
1 Answer Hello Abdul, this ref has dual evaporator coils, (ref and frez) for both sections to be not cooling based on your observations this is likely a sealed system problem, and suggest a service tech be contacted to check further, the freezer uses 2 fan motors, the middle is for freezer cooling and the left one is for the ice maker.

Joe M. June 23, 2023 for Model Number Kenmore Elite 795.77564600 Good Morning, I have a Kenmore Bottom Freezer Refrigerator, Model # 795.77564600 purchased 01/20/2007. A few days ago I noticed that the water dispenser on the door did not give me any water and there was some frozen cokes and drinks in the frig compartment. I had stocked the compartment pretty good so I thought it might be an air flow issue. I removed most of the goods and did a power reset of the fridge. I put a thermometer in the compartment and now the temperature in going back and forth from 31 to 42 degrees up and down. I am thinking Temp sensor so I ordered the part and will receive it today. My settings on the door display are Freezer 0 deg. and frig 39 D. Am I on the right track here? If the wires are long enough I could test the suspected sensor in a bag of Ice water and check the resistance at the control board wires(disconnected from the board). Thank you in advance for your expertise, Joe
1 Answer Joe M, Yes, I would do a resistance check on the thermistor to confirm whether it is good or bad. Read More...
Jeff September 06, 2022 for Model Number lfxs30766s Hi, my freezer works and so did ice maker. I noticed my fridge section getting warmer, stays around 47 deg when set to 33. I cleaned the coils near the compressor, verified no flashing lights on main board. I opened the back fridge panel over evaporator and noticed a block of ice on the upper left side, I defrosted and removed it, and the temp didn't changed. I ran diagnostics from main board and fans work, and so does heating element in evaporator section. So I changed the defroster sensor. No luck. Now I'm not sure what to do next. I see another sensor on the evaporator cover between what looks like an intake vent, and the led light.. is that the fridge temp sensor? Should I be looking at that, or the thermistor by the compressor? Thank you.
1 Answer Jeff, if the compressor is running for long periods of time and an ice ball is accumulating on the corner where the copper tubes attach to the evaporator, the failure would be a sealed system failure and would require an EPA-certified technician to diagnose and repair. Read More...
Will August 22, 2022 for Model Number LRSC26925TT Good Morning, My LG fridge (in my garage) was working fine until a strap from a cooler fell and propped the door open. I didn't realize that this happened until I got back home 4-5 days later. When I got home the fridge and freezer were both blowing out hot air. The lights and everything else work. The compressor tries to come on but it sounds like it never quite gets going. The temp display reads 34 for the fridge and 1 degree for the freezer, which of course is incorrect. However, the temp display seems to be accurate for the temp of my garage. Thanks, Will
1 Answer Will, It sounds like the start device on the compressor has failed and would need to replace part number EBG32952202. Read More...
Kare August 12, 2022 for Model Number LFX31945ST my temperature inside the fridge goes up and down , sometime 32 f and freezing food, and sometime above 41 f, coil is not dirty, vents not blocked, sealed fine. Someone told me i need to check the temperature thermostat, but i do not know the location for the thermostat for this particular model? and how to get access to it? i watched the video in this page but this is for different model than what i have. thanks
1 Answer Kare, the refrigerator thermistor is going to be located at the bottom of the refrigerator evaporator cover. To access it, the shelves would all need to be removed. Once the shelves are out, there will be several screws that would need to be taken out. This will allow the evaporator cover to be pulled forward. The thermistor wires can be accessed at this point, whereas the thermistor is going to be accessed after lifting up the bottom insulation from the cover assembly. Read More...
Malik May 26, 2022 for Model Number LFXS30766S My freezer working fine, but fridge is not and temp fluctuates. ICE maker is not working either. Bottom drawer in the fridge is colder then the upper end but none is cold enough as we've temp set to 34. I replaced the temp. sensor thinking that's the issue but no luck and old sensor is also good because @77F it was 11ko. Fan is working, no ice on evaporate coil in the refrigerator. Any help what else could be the issue?
1 Answer Malik, Check to make sure that the evaporator fans are running. Also, check to make sure that the evaporator coils are not impacted with ice. If they are then this will be a defrost issue and will need to test the sensors and the heater. If good replace the control board. Read More...
Jim May 23, 2022 for Model Number LFXS297665 Refrigerator freezer is not cooling. I have lights and I can feel air flow from the fan at the back bottom of the refrigerator. I checked the temp sensor from the top of the inside of refrigerator and measures 11k ohms at room temperature (68F°). Is the sensor bad? is this the only item to check and how?
1 Answer Jim, The sensor sounds like it is good and if it is just the refrigerator section that is not cooling then check for a defrost issue in the freezer and also check to make sure that the damper in the refrigerator at the bottom of the cover in the back is working. Read More...
Mike C May 11, 2022 for Model Number 79571036010 Hello - I received an answer to my question regarding resistance measurements for temperature sensor 6500JB2001B to be 5K Ohms at room temperature. Mine is reading 2.5K Ohms at room temperature, so I assume the sensor is bad. To make sure, my sensor is reading 7.65K Ohms in ice water...what is the normal resistance in ice water? Thank you!
1 Answer Mike C, Thanks for the question!!! At 32 degrees the sensor resistance should be about 30k ohms. At 7.65k ohms resistance would represent 93 degrees. So your sensor has failed. Read More...
